Obviously not ARB quality but good price for large volume compressor. Reviews are good except the DOA units and the bag ripping.

Wasn't able to order online so I gave the local store a call. Was told they had 2 left, and they couldn't hold it. Drove over immediately and picked the last one up! Give the stores a call around, they might have a couple here and there.
Ordered click and collect and picked up this morning at SCA Lawnton $49.99
Changed my store, but is now ready. Just 10 min extra drive. Msg received ready to pick up.
Picked up mine this morning, they mentioned it was a pricing error but as it was showing up on the website advertised at $49.99, they still honoured it. Thanks OP!
Just collected mine and was advised same thing, pricing mistake but orders will be honoured.
Make sure you check the item before leaving the store, silly me only looked at the invoice slip and not the box and when I got home realised it was the single (160L) model and not the Double (250L) one.
My local store just rang to say they have none in store atm but they are going to honor the price error. They said they will try to get one from another store for me but if they cant that they will hold the order in the system until they get more stock in. I'm happy to wait at that price.
Grabbed one at this bargain price. Nice spot OP.
My positive crocodile clamp appears corroded and has a much weaker spring than the negative. I tried to wipe the corrosion off but it's eaten into the copper!
Is anyone else's the same?
It looks like it's been used to me and battery acid has corroded the clamp.
Take it back and request a refund/replacement/credit.
Thanks, that sounds exactly like what has happened. I thought they may have used an old stock/ previous model clamp as the spring is noticeably thinner and weaker grip.
They've pulled the compressor off the site - will wait a day or so and hopefully they'll have a replacement in stock.
Just picked it up. The box is huge, it's pretty heavy!
Great value for pumping up four wheel drive tyres, the smaller pumps just take aaaages
I connected this to my floor compressor with 45L tank, pressurised it from empty/neutral to 150PSI in about 3min 30sec. Doesn't appear to have a high pressure cutoff I turned it off myself at that pressure as the floor compressor tank is a bit dated and I normally have it cut out at 125PSI. Connectors and hose at the unit were too hot to hold comfortably in that time.
Great find OP!
got the last stock from my local store. its on sale for $160, showed them website price and still sold it at 49.99 :D
Crazy good deal!
I think the dude at the checkout was a bit jelly. He told me head office had sent an email saying it was an ef-up. Glad I bought two. Great Xmas present for the old man.
Same story here. He told me that it was a mistake in the system and that I scored a deal.
Offer $50.
Marked as sold now so can't see the listing. How much was it listed for?
$140
gutted i missed out as I was after one of thes.e
They are still for sale. You can still buy one. Or one just like it
removed from the website?
Looks like it. It'll be back up again at the $149 price I suspect.
Just picked mine up.
4 in the cupboard behind the counter. Hello fellow Ozbargainers.
Staff made a big deal about the $50 compressor.
I heard it all, how they couldn't get one themselves, it's the wrong price, I shouldn't be allowed it, they called head office as soon as they saw it, they're losing money on each one, they should cancel it.
"Enjoy your $50 compressor" as I picked it up off the counter and walked out.
Thanks, I will.
Bahahaha!! Like it wouldn't cost them much more than $50 anyway. Shops have been ripping us off for years! We got one back!
Got one…
So why no upvote?
Picked up mine this morning, staff member didn't even blink and even offered to carry it to my car if it was too heavy.
Don't know if I should be offended by that or chuffed.
Ordered one of these at $149 this morning.
Came on here and saw people got them at $49….hates life.
Only got to collect mine last Monday. The store generously held it for me for a week and a half. The girl behind the desk wanted to know how I knew about it being sooooo cheap ;) She's now an OzB'er :)
user "Slosh" has alerted Ozbargain with info regarding a product recall for XTM Air compressor. It can be downloaded as a PDF from here
Confirming email just received from SCA.
What to do: Stop using the air compressor immediately and return it to your nearest Supercheap Auto store for a full refund and a complimentary $10 Supercheap Auto Gift Card.
Probably the same issue as at the end of this video on the maxitrac version - for the $49 going to fix this wiring and keep it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34NVzXW6LxM
Great find ziggy, I might keep the compressor now.
@lollolololol: Opened it up and looked - the wiring is way better than that Maxitrac one -BUT, big design flaw - the screw that holds the top cover together is the shitiest chinesium I have ever had the misfortune to try to remove , the screw had no head left and I think the plastic around it cracked as well. This screw is millimeters above the circuit board and a short circuit waiting to happen esp once enverything gets hot. I also wrapped all the wires in sos tape , but dont think it necessary, but the shitty screw is the problem i recon. Left it out in reassembly and covered the circuit board in sos tape as so much heavy duty traces on the side of the board with no protection.
@ziggy1312: Thanks for that explanation ziggy, it's a great help.
Have you considered contacting SCA and offering to fix the compressors for them at a reasonable rate ;)
want to know if SCA refund RRP$299 or $49?
That's what I thought.
Good way to make up for their stuff up and claw their losses back.
I'll wait here for a pioneer to confirm :)
@hanxtom: I'm sure I bought this one at full retail.
I didn't use any club details. Paid cash.
Sure I paid RRP at the time.
Yep.. wait and see. I’m not returning it if it’s only $49.
Are you expecting them to refund you $299 when you only paid $49 lol?
Can return to BCF according to recall notice
Can confirm that they refunded $299.99. if they say you must have a receipt, call up the phone number on the notice and they will speak to the store to refund you and give you $10 supercheap gift card
Nice!
I got $300 refunded
He asked if I had a receipt and I said no. He then asked when I bought it. I gave an approximate timeframe. He started to do something on the computer, then gave up and just handed me $300 cash. I guess he figured it wasn't worth the effort trying to dig out the transaction.
I didn't get the $10 gift card but I didn't want to push my luck so I just took the cash and left.
Did you use club plus? Isn't that how they can look up your transaction?
@slosh: Don't even remember. I have a membership but I rarely use it (pretty sure I lost the card). I just said I paid cash.
If you email SCA they should provide a $10 gift card
Get ready for a lot of questions! (They have a list). Keep on your toes!
I got $300 + $10 gift card. They struggled for a bit as I didn't have a receipt and had paid with cash
Just got an email saying this compressor is recalled :)
$10 gift card + full refund for the inconvenience…

It appears the compressor has been recalled for a full refund. Damn it!

It won't be easy replacing this compressor for the money we paid. Is it worth sitting on it until a replacement model appears and going for a replacement instead of a refund?
Some people will commit fraud and say that they paid cash and lost the receipt to try and get the RRP refunded to them.
If it was me I would pull the plastic cover off and have a look at what’s going on inside, maybe replace the relays if possible or even just replace the plastic cover with steel one and be alert that it could catch fire.
isn't taking an advantage of an obvious pricing error fraud?

I'm going to take the risk on this one.
Pump your tyres and start camp fires all in one.
Unless you mount it permanently in the vehicle, it’s unlikely to cause a serious fire. You could just use it and keep it a bit away from the vehicle and be prepared to pull the cables off the battery if it does catch on fire.
Gutted that I missed out. I don't feel as bad now, but in all honesty, you could probably replace the relay.
Don't these have a thermal cut off anyway?
Just picked mine.
