                        Have you looked at the Thayer & Chandler Air Star V refurbished compressor for $99? It's on Badger's website in the Garage Sale section at the bottom of the page here: http://www.badger-airbrush.com/garagesale.htm
                        It is probably made by the same company that makes that one for Iwata.

                        Patrick...Just turned on my new Iwata Sprint like yours...and I love it! First comment was just how quiet it was. Took a few minutes to adjust the pressure and learn to work the lock ring on the setting. All in all, from years with canned air this Iwata is truely a luxury.

                        Glad you are satisfied. I have the Smart jet which is actually the Sprint jet with an auto shutoff. The auto shutoff was a waste of money but that is the only complaint. I am very happy with all my Iwata stuff. I bought mine through Dixie, they had the best prices.

                        Enjoy your compressor.

                        Just tried out my new Iwata sprint jet compressor!! That thing is darn nice for such a small compressor. And for one that doesnt have an air tank to hold the air, its a beauty!!
                        Just turn it on and your ready to go, at your preset PSI, whatever that is - no need to wait for the air to build up.
                        Plus the built in regulator too!! Darn quiet as well.

                        Anyone else have this one that feels the same way?
