The shoe box compressor needs another compressor for air input and it takes 22 hours to fill a 88cft scuba tank.
Do you really want to do that !

I never had to use a hill pump, though I did toy about the idea for my Steyr. But the cost of the din adapter and the pump was way more than the scuba tank. Yes I know you would have problems getting the scuba fill at home.
But compressors are still very expensive specially as a courier import and then the cost of customs and all.
