Has anyone heard of the Benjamin Traveler Gen 2, 4500 PSI. I seen the old one but I was looking to buy the gen2 but no reviews out there.

I picked up a new Gen 2 from PA's Black Friday sale. It was delivered on-time & was well-packaged (by Benjamin). Haven't tested it, yet, due to travels, but will by Xmas.

Intended use is topping off 480cc & under bottles/tubes. I'm an occasional user & save my SCBA tank for quarterly Shoot-n-Tune events with Crusher

I bought the Benjamin Recharge recently, because I wanted to use it for big bottles; but I'm looking forward to hear more about your experience using it. To me it looks like a good option for a portable air compressor.

I learned the expensive way...never start the compressor with pressure in the hose.

Keep your runs under 20-30 mins. Allow it to cool well between runs.

Enjoy your pump!

JimNM, Thanks for the tip; it is good to know because I have seen with other compressors people equilibrate the pressure with the tank or gun so I though I should leave it under pressure and the restart the process in case I needed more time to fill. I can see something bad happening doing it that way.
