Most small compressors put out about as much air as a panting squirrel. This one fills an average sedan tire that is completely flat in less than 2 minutes! Far faster than any other compact tire inflator we've tested. Coupled with the long 10' power cord that plugs into your cigarette lighter and the 3' long air hose you'll be able to reach every tire. The air chuck screws on to the valve stem, freeing you up to do other things as the tire fills with air. Included are three optional tips that store neatly to the side of the unit for inflating your life raft, pool toys, basketball or other game ball, or inflatable items. Maximum working pressure is 60 psi and the gauge reads in 2-pound increments. Requires a power port rated for 15 amps.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good Compressor if you've got the Amps! I've used this compressor for a couple of years and have found it of limited use. When used with a vehicle with a 15 amp or greater 12-Volt connection and with the vehicle's engine running, the compressor works quickly to fill your tires. This particular model of compressor does require a 6-minute period of cool down after 4 minutes of use. Thinking that all 12-Volt connections were the same, I failed to read the 15 amp requirement and my vehicles now only have 10 amp 12v connections. If you are considering this compressor, please read all the details before buying. I blew a few 10 amp fuses before I realized my error.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy way to air up your tires This is an easy pump to use for the tires. Does a good job and doesn't take that long to put in the air. The other air pump I had took quite a while to add air but this pump works pretty quickly. I am glad I bought it and do recommend it to others. I like it because it's small and compact. The only negative is the end opposite from the guage does get very warm. I found that out when my arm brushed against the metal top. Have to say though I had just put about 6 pounds of air in all 4 tires.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from EXCELLENT FOR THE PRICE Having purchased this inflater about 2 years ago, I can attest it is still going strong. As advertised, it does not gyrate as most other inflaters tend to do; stays put and doesn't dance around. The gauge could be better, but I prefer to use my hand-held gauge for accuracy. If it ever dies, I'd still get the same one. Thanks Griot!

I bought this pump from you years ago and lost the little spring loaded end of the plug that goes into the car lighter socket. Can a spare be ordered or am I out of luck? It must have fallen out somewhere.

Hi Griot, I am looking at your portable air compressor and I read the reviews and some of the people say it blows fuses. What is the deal with that. Something that should keep me from buying it?

Asked by: farmerd
