Default Portable Tire Inflator

Hi Everyone,

I currently have one that is over ten years old and I think that it's about time to replace it. I was wondering if anyone here can recommend a good tire inflator for my car. I saw a few at Sears but I wasn't two sure about them.


Thank you,
USALV

Not sure what you want to spend but I have this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X9AXR8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is very quick and fairly quiet. Has a carry case and attachments. Highly recommend it over the little Sears inflators.

I have this one, but nothing beats the speed of the commercial tire inflator at the gas station.

I avoid using my portable inflator (especially in the summer) as it does not remove moisture which can lead to water sitting inside the tires. In some cases you may not have much choice, but whenever possible I use a commercial air source. Even if they do not have an air dryer, their storage tank works reasonably well to catch and remove moisture.

I have one of the portable Sears inflators that plugs into the car's power point. I had it for several years and carry it in whatever vehicle we are taking a longer trip in for its convenience. It inflates a little slower than I would like but gets the job done. It also comes with attachments to inflate other items. For 20 bucks it has a great bang for the buck.
