Tire Inflator Air Compressor, 150PSI 12V DC Double Cylinders Heavy Duty Portable Air Pump w/Emergency LED Light for Truck, SUV, Car, RV

UUP Tire Inflator Air Compressor, 150PSI 12V DC Double Cylinders Heavy Duty Portable AirOk folks, this is an honest review.I have beel looking for a 12v dc air compressor for lidterally a couple years now.I was tired of those cheapies that either can't pump up the air while it sounds like it is going to fall apart, or just sound like they will struggle just to get a little air in the tire.Lets face it, when you are on the road and you have a tire that needs air, what are you gonna do?Thats where I was. I have a couple of really cheap air pumps and hoped they would work when I needed them, but I knew I had dto find something that was of better dependability.I noticed my tire was low on air, and I was out of town. My crappy 12v air compressors were at home.I dove into Amazon and started my continuing search for a 12v dc air compressor, but this time I HAD TO FIND ONE.I spent the better part of a day looking for a compressor, a lot of them just didn't look like they could hold up, looking much like my crappy ones at home.I paid a lot of attention to the reviews.This compressor had outstanding reviews. In reviews you expect to hear some crab complain about something stupid, usually from something THEY did to cause the problem.BUT not one bad complaint on thnis unit.Reading further, they talk about how sturdy this compressor was, the dual pistons, the strong motor.One fellow said he used it only on his 18 wheeler, and it preformed for him perfectly... THAT SOLD ME.I ordered to to be delivered where I was staying and it arrived in a coupld days.I read the instructions so I wouldn't miss anything important and went out to the car.THIS compressor has both a cigarette lighter plug and a pig tail that clamps onto the battery posts direct with the cig lighter plug socket where the compressor plug will plugs into.This compressor can take 20 amps (acording to the instructions) so you probably should not plug into the cars cigarette lighter sockete. Some are fused at 10 amps and this compressor will blow the fuse.The compressor cigarette plug also has a fuse, a 20 amp I think and you get a spare fuse or two.You also get a couple of nozzeles for blowing up sports balls and air toys plus you get an odd device that attaches to a screw driver. It has little horns stickin gout in variuos directions and from what I read, is for doing something that I will never do, to the tire. It mayh be to take the tire off the rim but I'm not doing that.You also get a coiled hose that connects to the compressor and nozzel, but you may not need it. You get about 20 feet of electrical cord, which JUST REACHED my tire that was in trouble.This is where the coild of tubing might come in handy or hae an additional 25 foot of wire to connect to extend the rezch of the compressor. you would need a regular cigarette lighter socket on one end and aplug on the other.Plugging into the power we find the compressor has 2 switches, one is for the LED LIGHT and the other is to turn on the compressor motor.Attach the hose to the tire valve, you should get a PSI reading, mine was very low.Turning the motor switch on (strongly advised to have the car running when you do this), and the compressor comes to life.The sound of the compressor running is very different from that of the cheap compressors rattling away.THIS compressor sounds like a large installed compressor in a shop, the sound is muffled as it pumps air into the tire. The air guage monitors the PSI in the tire as it pumps up.This compressor had NO problem pumping up the tire in about 8 minutes. The compressor ran fine, and it had no problem pumping up that tire where my other compressors would be getting hot and struggling to pump the tire pressure up. The sound from the cheap compressors would be very loud where, again, this compressor is very low key, sounds substantial, well built.Filled the tire and took it to a shop where they promptly found a 1/4 inch bolt in the treads. The Tire was repaired and I was on my way. This pump saved the day.Thee is a LED light tdhat you can switch on to help see what you are doing.I RECOMEND THIS COMPRESSOR indeed.I do not know the seller nor did I receive any money or product for my random review230315 1250

This has been the best portable compressor i have used and the only one that the gauge every worked correctly with. It has has a plastic cover that keeps you from touching the hot unit. Well Made!

The pump itself works great and seems to have no problem filling my tires. I have one tire with a very slow leak (shop couldn't find the leak, it only loses about 1 psi a day) and I've used this compressor several times now to fill that tire on my SUV. The only issue I had was that it blew the 20amp fuse for the accessory port when I tried to use that so now I use the supplied battery connector to run it straight from the battery with the vehicle running. The pressure gauge on the pump I received is off by about 7psi so I double check pressure with a good pocket tire pressure gauge rather than rely on it.The only real issue I have is that the carry bag is poorly sewn and the outer pocket is simply falling away. The main pocket seems to be holding up but I'm not trusting it to last very long. I find that sad because the bag it came with was decent looking and set up pretty good for carrying the various parts of the compressor to make a fairly compact package. I might try to restitch it and if I can't do that I'll find a better bag for it.

I love this pump compressor.I’ve burnt out 3 smaller plastic pumps in 3 months because they’re very poor quality.Not this pump.Very fast, quiet and reliable. Yes, it’s a little larger and heavier, but gets the job done every time. Fits in my moto pannier and gives me comfort knowing I won’t be stuck on the road without air. We get plenty of flat tires in Mexico.Gauge easily readable with night light. Hoses seem durable with good connections. I like the heavier weight with rubber insulated feet. I like the valve clamp as it’s quick & efficient. Long power cord.No auto shut off though. Also need to jiggle the powerpoint plug with battery cable connector thing to ensure proper contact. Battery cables are best for more amps.I don’t use the screw driver scraper thing.The carrier bag is good too.Reasonable price for a much higher quality product. Highly recommended.

Pump works well. Draws about 14 amps. Gauge works well it reads accurately up to about 35 psi but begins to reads a little high with higher psi. 45 psi is a little closer to 40 psi. You need to check the tire pressure with another more accurate gauge. Would not recommend using the cigarette lighter jack to plug the air pump into. The pump draws too much current and probably blow the cigarette lighter fuse. Connect the pump directly to the car battery using the adapter wire that comes with the pump

I cannot tell you how pleased I am about this product. I made the mistake of buying a cheap one from the local auto parts store. It failed miserably, but this compressor is fantastic. Clearly higher quality, quieter, and faster. The attachments make much more versatile, and even the carrying case (which the other didn't even have) was nice. If you need a tire inflating compressor for your vehicle, I highly recommend this one. It has enough power and capacity to fill any size tire. Great product?

The zipper pulled off the first time I tried to zip the bag shut. Luckily, It has two plastic clip closures that actually do the work of keeping everything in the bag.The pump itself is actually pretty great. I've used it a handful of times and it inflates car/truck tires pretty fast and way more quietly than the comparable slime brand pump. I highly recommend this pump.
