Battery powered tire inflators

NCJeeplover said:
I've got an 18 volt Rigid inflator (read; not as good as the red one but I'm way to committed to change at this point) and I use it almost every day. I use it for everything from bike tires to 19.5 tires at 100psi. It takes a minute but I can be doing other stuff while it works. It gets warm but never seems to complain much. Its in the truck for every road trip with the family whether its a 30 minute or 30 hour trip. I love it.

I even forgot about it one day and drove off with it attached. It chipped the plastic connector for the valve stem but still keeps on working. I literally just bought it to replace my floor pump for biking and now use it for everything.

A lot of those green tools are hard to beat for the price point. I have quite a bit in my shop. They used to always do 1/2 impact, battery and charger for 89. I put one in every trailer then started getting the grinders and stuff for 30/40$
 
Honestly it looks more like 150s train tech in a modernized package than a Prius, so he can still keep the man car until he starts wearing birkenstocks

So how did your setup work at the beach bash last week. Was it worth the money

Oh yea. Airing down with the hose kit doesn’t necessarily take less time but you know you’ve got exactly the pressure you want in all four tires. Airing up with a good compressor is a dream. Their 5.6 CFM unit is on par with other one cylinder units but I didn’t have a good one so buying both made sense for me.

Used it on the travel trailer too (with an extension they also sell) so makes me feel very good about tire pressure when hauling.

It’s not what anybody would call cheap but for the peace of mind and quick time to air up it’s worth it to me.
