Hello all..

Just thought I'd toss this out.. Been looking for an airbrush holder for a bit but didn't like the ones i've seed at the craft stores or hobby shop I mostly thought they were a bit to pricy (25 to 40 bucks) and many oof em are clamp on types that I didnt' like.

Anyways was shopping at harbor freight tools today because I had a 20% off coupon and found a nice airbrush holder priced at $9.99 and it was just what I wanted..

Thanks, Delbert for the heads-up. I've been looking for one for a while myself. A friend and I were just talking about heading to a newly opened Harbor Freight near us this Friday, so...now I am on a mission

Cheers,
Mike

I have one of these and it's a nice little airbrush. A friend of mine has a Badger (I think), we compared them and they looked pretty much the same. Even thinking it's probably just a Chinese copy.

Also at harbor freight I got a air regulator/water trap for $20 (compared to his 60 or 80 dollar job).

Delbert,
I've been using one of those for years, although I didn't get it from Harbor Freight, (and I'm sorry it's been so long I don't remember where I did buy it) but it wasn't much more than 10 bucks. The only difference is my is clamp mounted which for me and my workbench works out better than something just held on with suction cups. As you can see in the photo, I keep 4 airbrushes in it all the time, and they are all fed from one small compressor through a homemade manifold.
It's lasted me years, and I'm sure you'll be happy with your model of it.

Glad to see its a good buy..The suction cups don't really do anything for me as they wouldn't stick to the top of my handmade wooden workbench anyways but i do like the table top version better than I would a clamp.. limited room and i need to keep things put away.

Be carefull she doesn't lock you in the closet like mine tried once. Hey, I guess there's worse places to get locked in!
