Has anybody found a decent portable compressor/inflator?

Agreed with the power tools option. I've used my Ridgid 18v inflator many times to pump up tires when overlanding out west. It works great and the battery life is decent with a 4 amp hour setup

Can't break the budget either though.

I have been using the portable battery and tire sealer that came with the hybrids. It fills truck tires with ease obviously and the gauge is accurate. GM discontinued the tire sealer but that's not why I bought it and never had to use it anyway.

I have 6 or 8 of these:


My car, wife's, kids, grandchildren. All have been great for 5+ years. LIKE that they screw on and stay on until you unscrew.

One granddaughter told me, "Hey Grandpa, I finally fixed that tire that I was blowing up every morning for 3 weeks.."

Most were given as Christmas / Birthday gifts.

Had a ton of Dewalt tools so went with the Dewalt. Can't complain. Take it with me on long road trips and off road excursions as well. Allows me to "set it and forget it" as I rotate tires or other chores it will inflate to what I set it at and then stop.

The VIair 300p is the BOMB! I love mine, can't go wrong with that one.

Very happy with the 18 volt Milwaukee.

If you have DeWalt 20V, or 60V batteries, they have one that's about $107.00. It's great. It's model (DCC020IB)

You power it on, set the PSI you want, and press the start button. Not the fastest thing, but will get it done. Of course I have larger, 5aH batteries, etc. So it can handle a number of inflations if needed. Used it to re-inflate a flat i got on the road, until my shop could patch it. Now I often keep in the truck, just in case. I've even put my Tahoe tire to 40psi, no problem. Has accessories for many more tasks.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H39S9JQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I went back in time. I went back to a 5 gal tank. It's portable, quick, and easy.

I have a can of Fix-A-Flat, and AAA, for emergencies away from home; but haven't needed either one in this century.
