CKMA12 or the CKMTA12?

CKMA12 or the CKMTA12? and why?

Uses: airing up tires and camping gear. little to no air tool use expected.

Thoughts?

They are both going to be similar build quality so the only things to decide are...

Size - is the smaller form factor needed or decided with the single vs. twin
Cost - If your budget is tight could you spend that extra $$$ on something else you want?
CFM - easy to compare, for your desired use either will work wonderfully , the twin will obviously shorten the time to air up tires
Duty Rating - IIRC the twin is 100% and the single is 50%, unless you are providing air for an entire expedition worth of vehicles I don't think this is much of a concern.

FWIW I have the Twin and love it, however its a lot of money for something that only gets used a half a dozen times a year (ok maybe more if you get out a lot)......but hey I also have a 40" LED bar that is a total economical waste.

The twin is way overkill for your stated needs. The CKMA12 will be perfect.

Twin for the win.. even if it only gets used once a month.. Depends how low you air down, the single could take some time to air up..

I have CKMA12 and am very pleased with it. I use it for the same intended purposes you stated, except for air tools of course. As previously stated, TA12 is probably overkill for your needs.
