this is my first pneumatic. its pretty ghetto. its made of just random crap I had lyin around. its just a steel tank with a 3/4" ball valve. now before you start sayin that a sprinkler valve is better just know that this is made of spare parts and I dont wanna put any more time or money into it. lol. I just had this stuff lyin around and I didnt wanna see it go to waste.

Sorry, it made me laugh a bit. :)

It's simple, safe to be used, reliable, grossly inefficient, and...I actually like it.

Don't know why, maybe it's the cartoon "maters".

Good job.
