AVID POWER Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor, 12V DC 110V AC Car Tire Pump, Air Mattress Pump with Inflation and Deflation Modes, Dual Powerful Motors, Digital Pressure Gauge

This pump makes it very easy to pump the tires. The connector attaches firmly and easily. You set the desired pressure and start the pump. The pump stops when it reaches the set pressure. The pump is QUIET (as pumps go). I compared the reading with an independent pressure guage, and the two agreed to within 1/2 PSI. I have only used the pump for my tires and only used grid power. The pump includes attachments for inflating rafts etc, which need high air flow at low pressure. The pump can be run off the 12 Volt battery of the car. I also have an earlier model by this same company, and that pump is also excellent.

I just got this delivered to me today. It has been abnormally chilly in my area which is usually hotter than purgatory. But I needed a new inflator my old one was breaking down and I wanted one that would also plug into the wall as well as the cigarette lighter. As I have bought a new truck lately I have the plug-in adapter in the bed of my truck so I wanted something that I could take with me and I have to rely on just using the cigarette lighter I looked over a lot of different inflators and this one, I am based on the reviews it seemed like it was the best choice. However like I was saying above it being a little bit colder I didn't have a whole lot of opportunity to go outside and air up anything at the moment but I took my kids soccer ball volleyball and their little bounce ball thing that they set on I don't know what the hell the name of those are lol, anyway they were all going flat I aired those all up within a matter of three or four minutes tops for all three of them together. I got my child's bicycle tires aired up pretty quickly as well. Have yet to try it on a vehicle but once I do I will try to leave review on that. I got it for the limited time deal of 15% off which I'm sure it could have been more but you know how that goes anyway I got it for around 59 bucks. So far it seems like a badass little inflator. Flashlights semi bright from what I can tell right now but it's still sunny, so I'll have to check that out when it gets dark too but it did a good job it did what it was supposed to. When the heat wave rolls back in to my area here in Florida and we all start to mail and we can venture back out to the pool or the water I will see how long it takes to air up the rafts and tubes. Hopefully that will be a quick and easy thing as well. It also says that it deflates air I haven't checked that yet but you need to read on what you can and cannot use it on. However again I would recommend this thing it seems like a little kick ass machine. Good job advid power

What I needed: a car tire inflator. We had a car that sat for a couple of years. The tires were very low, like 10-12 psi low. All I wanted was to air up the tires so we could drive it home as it had been sitting in my brothers driveway; I didn’t want to have it towed.What I got: a car tire inflator. It works. It’s not too big, not too cumbersome, small enough to carry in your car and not have it take up a lot of space, cords aren’t too long but we didn’t have any problems. The DC cord was long enough for us to be able to reach all four tires easily (mid-size SUV). Had we needed to use the AC cord, I was already aware that an extension cord would be needed (no biggie). The screen was fine because I had to lean down to set it anyway, so visibility was not an issue. I would attach it to the valve stem, lock it, set it, start it, let it do its thing, turn it off, let it rest while switching it to the next tire and start the process all over again. We were cleaning and shop vac-ing the car at the same time so we were busy and not at all impeded by the time it took to air up the tires. If you’re the impatient sort, this may not be what you’re looking for; it’s not an auto shop compressor. It’s a small, portable item.How it worked: Before I even purchased this inflator, I read A LOT of the reviews as well as some of the tips on how to use it that were not included in the instructions. So, when it arrived and we went to use it…easy peasy. While we cleaned the car, we had it running (which we needed to do anyway after having sat for so long) and the inflator plugged in to the cigarette lighter. It was 104 degrees that day, so this might have affected the performance of the inflator; I don’t know, just a thought. Tires are supposed to be aired to 34 psi, so I set it at 30 to make sure to not over-inflate which worked out just fine. Note: it completely inflated one tire before it just stopped and we had to let it rest. I’m guessing it overheated, just like we were on a hot day. After about a 5- to 10-minute rest, we did another tire and so on and so forth. Once the tire is inflated to your setting, it stops – I like that part.Final opinion: I’m pleased with my purchase. It was less than 60 bucks, it did what I wanted it to do. Maybe it’s not perfect, but…again…it’s an Amazon purchase that worked for me and that’s all I have to go by.
