this topic should probably be in the compressor section, but I have to ask on here. How many of you that have advanced well into this hobby and bought into tanks, compressors, or both, that still hang on to that hand pump you bought when you first got into this hobby? I guess what I’m looking for is a good reason to not sell my nearly new Hill MK4. I bought that thing last year, used it about 4 times, and I was nearing a major spine fusion so that right there would tell you hand pumping was tough on me, so I scrounged up enough dough to invest in an Airhog tank kit.
I went all out and bought the desiccant kit, extra desiccant packets, made the fill hose longer, blah, blah, blah. Now, it sits in my reloading room staring at me, and if it could talk, it would ask me why the heck I’ve been neglecting it. I feel like I should hang on to it, for a “just in case”, but if I sell it the extra cash could go towards other needed pcp stuff, you know?
I’ve only been into this hobby a year this month, so I’m looking to the seasoned folks that may have been in my identical situation. Did you sell it, or decide to keep it, and what we’re your reasons for keeping it? Have you ever had to use it for that “just in case” moment?
