not very efficient? every time I've seen a York OBA setup on Jeeps and other
4x4's, they can fill large 33+" tires faster than any OB electric I've ever
seen. Most electric setups that push out any decent CFMs are quite pricey but
still slower than a York setup... yorks do require a belt driven by the
engine but like a/c it is not under any load until you flip a switch in the
cab to build pressure to the tank....

and
they are not very efficient. I doubt it can develop enough cfm to run air
tools
but airing up tires it could do.
