Ok, I want some air on the rig. I know jack diddly about Co2 systems, so enlighten me. What do I need for a comp;ete kit, can I run airtools on them, are they good for resetting a bead, any drawbacks to the system. Thanks in advance
 
There are a few companies doing it these days. Powertank is a good one. I've personally owned and used the cheap type fixed regs from both the polyperformance and that balloon store from years ago and they both suck with air tools. Others may have had different results. I stick with AC compressors these days but it's nice to still have the co2 around. Downsides are the mounting limitations, freezing the reg, and filling the tank...which has gone up considerably in the last five years.
:edit: And price. You can piece together an ac compressor oba setup for 1/4 the price of a 20lb powertank setup. As a matter of fact, the only thing the one in my xj cost me was a 12v hobbs switch that I already had and some npt fittings.
