April 5, 20187 yr for filling up (or , more accurately, topping off) automobile tires. it needs to be portable, meaning fully battery driven, or atleast from the 12v socket. no wall-sockets. seems everything on amazon is basically a $30 cheapo chinese unit
April 5, 20187 yr You can just get an air tank that you fill yourself. You can easily get one that will hold enough to air up a tire.
April 5, 20187 yr Picked up one of these not too long ago just for the hellofit. Throw a lion battery in it and its pretty awesome. Use it on footballs, bike tires, topping off car tires...works like a champ. louder than a mother fucker, but works. Of course i already had the ryobi batteries so...
April 5, 20187 yr $30 Chinese units work just fine the one time every 5 years you need them. That's been my experience at least.

A 5 gallon tank filled to 125psi will get my 2500hd tire from flat to about 25 psi, which is enough, but just barely, and only if I'm not loaded.
April 5, 20187 yr Viair gets great reviews. I picked up one for my wifes van. For my car, I have one from pep boys https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/9357343/01727?quantity=1 or something like it. https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/9327241/01727?quantity=1 Edited April 5, 20187 yr by GottaB
April 5, 20187 yr I use one I got from Lowe’s for the last few years. We use it once every few weeks to top off the bike tires etc for the kids. I’ve used it for the boat once or twice, but those were away from home deals. Sort of like this https://m.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-12-Volt-Car-Air-Inflator/50137724
April 5, 20187 yr Lowe's (Kobalt) also sells one that has both a 12V DC and a 120V AC plug built in, so you can use it at home. I have one and it's pretty solid. Fifty bucks I think.

April 5, 20187 yr I bought this one a couple years ago. It seems to be holding up well the dozen or so times I've used it.
April 6, 20187 yr Another vote for Viair. I have a 77P, it's powered by a 12v socket and has been reliable for the last few years.
April 6, 20187 yr Third the viair. I have on board system for train horn and suspension. Have an outlet for hooking air hose when needed. Been going strong for four years.
April 6, 20187 yr Buncha mancies around herehttps://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_1476621_-1?gclid=Cj0KCQjwtZzWBRD2ARIsAIPenY1gnvC-_Jvgeb8hzKCq0kqzn61gpDAjLW4r8_6dhHGxXxJdazo8efIaAgRCEALw_wcBhttps://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-10-50-psi-Air-Gauge-HDA50800AV/100027031
April 8, 20187 yr That academy pump you linked sucks ass. I’ve broke a few of them, and I’m semi gentle on things.
