Are there any good portable air compressors at all?


Recommended Posts

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

My old man has that one. Has been very solid with digital pressures etc as well.
