It seems many newer pumps are using that design, though they tend to run slower to avoid overheating due to the smaller pump units within them that are often not actively cooled. One of the fastest battery powered pumps that I have used, was the Ridgid 18V Cordless Digital Inflator. Though if doing multiple tires or a lot of inflating, it is best to set it to 1PSI over the target PSI since the pump at full speed runs hot, and as the hot air cools, it will lose about a PSI. Sadly that is the issue with faster small pumps, they do not have a way of monitoring air output temperature, thus you have to manually compensate for hot air.
I have a compressor in my stanley jump starter, which most people should have one of anyway, but i do like this device's ability to monitor the current psi. I was brought up old school to use my pencil tire pressure gauge
I own the exact same product under a different brand name, this is a white label item. Pretty sure the display/control software is a standard item that manufacturers build into different battery & pump specs because you see a lot of pumps that look the same. I will say though, it's intuitive and works well.
Great review. Thinking getting one for my car tires, balls.... I am wondering if you can find a longer hose so that it is not hanging from the stem value?
I got one that plugs into the things. It takes up about a square foot in my trunk. The old-school walkie talkie pump looks cool, but I don't know if I would trust the charge.
A little cheaper and a lot more compact than my Kobalt inflator from Lowes that plugs into the wall. The Kobalt seems much faster with car tires though. For something to keep in my car, I think I would prefer one of the units that functions as a battery charger as well as an inflator.
How do you think this compares to a STANLEY J5C09D Digital Portable Power Station Jump Starter 1200 Peak Amp Battery Booster, 120 PS As for the speed to fill up 10PSI per tire as an example ?
i am not impressed with the amount of charge that the battery can handle. Just topping off 4 tires and the unit already needs a charge is not that great for a mobile device. Plus this device is not cheap. The compressor is too slow and the battery is too small. I'll just stick with the cheaper compressor that operates from the car battery from my cigarette lighter socket.
That is a nice piece of equipment. I am using a simulair product for my motorcyle: the "MI Xiaomi Portable Electric Air Compressor". I think I paid something like 30€ for it in one of the many Amazon sales during the year. I bought an "extension hose" so I can always put the compressor down on the ground when inflating a tire.
I have a very similar product and found it very useful for (regularly!) checking and maintaining the pressures on my cars. In addition to USB C charging, the one I have also has an emergency light, USB A socket for power bank functionality and DC socket with 12volt cable so it can also be charged/powered from the vehicle if the battery runs out. It was about 30GBP on Amazon here in the UK. Similarly the air tube is too short though.
