Yea, LOL, hence the need for an air tank to run the larger tools.
This is the first time I have looked up the specs on the Warn. Its limited to 90 PSI which is convenient because that is the PSI that most tools require. The problem is I cant see adding a tank to a Warn Powerplant.
I guess if you have no intention on ever adding a tank and you want the compressor and winch part of one unit, then this is the way to go if you dont mind spending the money.
Still, after everything, Id rather have the winch seperate and the ARB Twin specifically.
Edit - 5 CFM @ 90 PSI's is all that is needed for many good tools. So you probably wouldnt need a tank. The next question I would have is if the powerplant is 100% duty cycle.

I've only been using my PowerPlant a month or so but I have aired up @15-20 times. I think it's great! No problems whatsoever. Airs my 35's in only a couple minutes a piece. All the reviews and comments mentioned the " what if " I never read of anyone with the Warn that had failed. The specs are good and unless your looking to run a tank the Warn is the way to go, in my opinion.

I see adding a tank to a power plant will only make it a better system to air up tires and less strain on it. I guess I've never went out offroading without at least another jeep or two so if my power plant ever takes a crap I'd still be fine. Then again I am the same guy that don't bring a hilift jack either because someone always brings one as well!!!
