Not sure why you kept failing to check the tire pressure with the gauge that comes on the smitty, made for a poor review. By the way, pressure gauges do NOT read accurate when filling with air so I don’t know you kept referencing that
Great video and comparison, thanks for posting. Just a note, the instructions for the smaller one mentions turning on the compressor prior to screwing into the valve stem to reduce the wear on the motor and preventing the fuse to go off.
If you turn on the motor first it charges the pressure in the hose and makes it difficult to screw on. I have no problem with it making the fuse go off. The trick is that i after i air down my tires to 15 psi. I have no issue screwing it on and then turning on the pump. While the pump is running the gauge will be higher, for mine 50 psi indicated while the pump is running, is actually 40 psi in the tire. Once i knew that i had no real issues with wondering what my air pressure is.
The screw on connector to the valve stem is kinda a pain. It works but it sometimes is hard to get my fingers between the rim of the tire and then screwing it on. There are ways around this but other than that this pump rocks. I bought the big one and like others have said the only thing that gets hot is right where the air hose connects to the pump
