Has anybody found a decent portable compressor/inflator?

I’d also consider an on-board in the engine compartment but it would best go where my second battery is.

If you're a scrounger find a junk vehicle like my 08 Envoy that has an onboard compressor for the air ride. Factory it comes with a long hose and is made to be able to pump up tires. Adapt it and mount it on your Tahoe.

I have to admit for the couple of years my wife had her 06 Envoy Denali, that feature made me keep asking myself why GM didn’t put it into the bigger trucks.

Not big on carrying a compressor and a battery, so looking at 12V plug in units.

GM minivans like the Montana also had an onboard compressor with a port to fill up tires and footballs from inside the cab. They also had 120v outlets. Was going to do it but the GM portable air compressor works just fine and came with the football filler too.

Just get one that uses the batteries of the tools you have. Dewalt, Milwaukee, ryobi, etc. I have dewalt and had my inflator for 5 years works great.

Dewalt 20v tire inflator works great.

The self holding tire stem clamp and auto shut off are a huge deal in case you’re sidetracked or need both hands to hold the bead up until the tire can hold air.

I like the bottle of nitrogen and regulator. Works without power. Fastest fill up you can get and won’t generate heat. Doubles as a fire extinguisher in a pickle.

Wife will love the Nitrogen bottle because it’ll unclog that drain with a rag or solid rubber ball over the hose.
