Does this mean I'm one of the cool kids now?
Not quite yet, but it's a good start.

Next step: fasten a high lift jack somewhere on the exterior.

THEN, you're cool.

Just make sure you'll fit in your garage.

It's on my to-do list if my TeraFlex Alpha ever shows up :like:

So I used my max trac this weekend for an extended period of time airing up a mattress and the coupler got so hot that it basically blew the hose right out of the crimped fitting, thinking I just got greedy and ran it to hard I brushed it off. The next day was time to air up and go home but just filling two 37’s from 15 to 40 psi made the coupler so hot that it could cause a burn. Anyone else‘s cooking with fire?

Cant just turn it sideways to connect?
;)

One direction would make it so you couldn't read the gauge, the other made it difficult to operate the valve.
Even if it connected perfectly like it does with an ARB compressor, adding the 5' whip just makes it all around more convenient to use.

Pretty sure that's what caused my first Flexzilla whip to fail. I've used it twice with the Harbor Freight whip and didn't have any issues.

Compressing air unfortunately makes it hot. Even our ARB dual does the same, or hell even my 60 gallon in the shop. However this is something I have not seen. I just use a standard poly hose with QD's off the compressor and run that to a speedflate kit. No issues on our end with this setup
