Hatsan spark, nomad or yong heng?

Spark, Nomad and Traveler are the same design. Slow and noisy but no water needed to cool them and easy to store in a drawer when not in use. If I had a clean shop to work in and to store my gear in, I would go for the YH design. I do not have a clean hobby room and I need to clean up after myself every time I use my stuff. Don't expect them to live long lives if you constantly fill SCBA tanks. The small units are not designed for long runs.

Yong heng. Fast fill. Can also fill tanks. All the other are 12v compressor. Same design so dont matter which one you go with. They are slow and can only fill guns. Not tanks. Will get over heat quick. So depends on your needs. Do you want to fill fast and able to fill tanks...or do you want to be able to use 12v battery. 

They are all Chinese compressors so its hard to say. I bought a Hong Heng a couple years back then overheated it badly three times cuz I did not plug the pump in. My bad! So I bought another for back up. I used the back up, when it got here, just cuz it was new and it broke within an hour or two of use. Someone at the factory did not put locktight on the second stage piston so it backed off, slammed against the head and broke. Only twelve dollars for the new part though and it was easy to find. The one I mistreated on the other hand is still werqing fine. It's the luck of the draw with much of the Chinese stuff we buy. Still I love my Yong Heng it fills fairly quickly, low maintenance and is lasting through the years. Remember also the Yong Heng is water cooled so likely will last a bit longer all things considered.

One thing you may need to consider is the supply of spare parts, Yong Heng clearly stands out among the others in this regard. If you are mechanically inclined, you will be able to fix it all by yourself. Parts can be obtained easily at very low cost. For the others you will need to rely on the service of the vendor.

I e been using a yong heng 1 1/2 years only thing I’ve had to do was change a burst disk once I fill my 90ci bottles and my 60min scba tank regularly. Keep oil checked, don’t let it over heat, and only fill to 4200-4300psi although it will do 4500psi. Basically treat it right and it will treat you right 

Price … Y/H hands down. You can buy 2 for the price of most other "cheap" compressors and they are all pretty much made in China.

I've had good service from an older YH (almost certainly the weaker piston model) for over a year as well. As is well noted above, keeping it cool is critical and that is more work than some of the other compressors noted but still not too bad if you have a little space. The air gun world is certainly blessed with lots of options in the compressor area today.

I just saw where Walmart has the Yong Heng for around $240 and you can get 1-4 year warranty for next to nothing. That is where I am getting my next one.

true but out of stock
