Home Depot has a Husky one that is legit.

Look on Amazon. I have one that cost around 30 bucks that I've used several times

That's where I bought an EPAuto one (also $30) and the gauge on it wasn't accurate at all.

Or honestly I can get tow service through my insurance for like $50/ year and they will change tires.
I did this for my wife. Ask your old man to look into this for you.

I have been buying 18 volt Ryobi tools for the past few years. Started with a contractors kit and have been adding to it. Skill Saw, Side Grinder, Reciprocating Saw, Drill, Circular Saw, Orbital Jig Saw and finally the Pump. I used it this weekend on my side-by-side. It works great!

One of the girls at work had a Stanley air compressor/battery charger/jumper. She got it at SAMS. You charge it at home via regular outlet. It has a lithium battery and the compressor aspect is all digital. No need to plug in your adapter spot. I was impressed when I went fill her tires up.

Ryobi portable compressor with a DEWALT battery adapter ( off Amazon). It goes with me everywhere. Small and compact and I can exclusively use my DEWALT batteries.

I had one of those a few years ago and it died after only light use after a year or so.

Halo Bolt. Amazing product and battery life is unbelievable. Had this for about a year, using it 7-8 times to add air to vehicles and bikes. Only dropped by 10% battery of its battery life from the initial charge.

I have two Ryobi’s.
One in my truck and one in my wife’s suv.
I have five or six other Ryobi tools, drill, impact, blower, weed wacker for light stuff, saws all, circular saw and prob a few I don’t remember.
I am very impressed w them.
From the big, high pressure tires on my f350, to garden tires, always works great.
Couple of batteries in the truck all the time too w the sawsall, drill and impact, can handle a lot of issues.
There are several good options. Just adding these to the list.

No, this one. We've even used them to inflate heavy equipment tires on our job sites. I keep one in my truck at all times.

I have the 77 or 78 one from the link. Quiet. Was like $50+- on Amazon. Those harbor freight 4 in 1 boxes are loud as shite.

You are correct. I’m willing to give one up to get off of the interstate at night. I think it cost about Twenty bucks. I can reprogram my own.


That is a good thing. Clearing the codes is a pretty handy ability.

On the other hand, I carry a good compressor and a plug kit. I can plug a punctured tire and air it up in a few minutes. This avoids the sensor issue kit those of you who do not drive ancient vehicles like us po' folks do.

Anyone got a recommendation for a small portable air compressor to keep in vehicles? I have a 20 volt dewalt for my truck, but would like something that cost less and runs off 12 volt DC


If you have a bigger truck and are running load range E tires.... DO NOT BUY A 12V compressor from Harbor Freight.

Just don't do it. Don't ask me how I know. In fact... don't ask me twice.
