Portable Tire Inflator Pump Review
This is a protable air pump to carry along in your vehicle. It is lightweight coming in at a little over 5 pounds. This pump works from a 12 volt care lighter plug.
This is a perfect air pump for those that do a lot of bicycle riding. It can inflate your tires very simply if you have to change out a tube. It only takes a couple of minutes to air up small tires like a bicycle. However when it comes to car tires it takes up to 15 minutes. Anything past about 40 PSI it does begin to struggle a fair bit.
The power plug that is attached for your lighter plug is only 10 feet long. This can make it impossible for people that have large vehicles. There is an adapter to hook it directly to the battery which helps a great deal for the front half of a large vehicle. In honestly this cable should be about 2x its length.
I do like the compact size of this unit. My mother(65+) was able to tote the compressor around without any issues at all. My mother was also able to attach the unit through the lighter plug in the car and air up a tire. This is saying a bit for a lady that is mechanically challenged. She was able to program the pressure she wanted the compressor to stop at on the LED screen. The hardest thing she had problems with was getting the pump back into the carrying case that it came with. Only because the power line was not cooperating with her.
This pump is designed to help you out if you encounter a slow leak to help you get in if you are not able to change a tire. It can be used as a pump for bicycles versus using a hand pump. It comes with 3 adapters to be able to attach to many different valve stems.
If you are looking for an average air compressor at a fairly inexpensive price this is one you might consider. It will help you out in a pinch with tire trouble, comes with multiple adapters, and works on a 12V system. I would like to thank Odyseaco and affiliates for sending me this tire pump to try out and share my opinion.
