Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking for a tire inflator for general garage use. If also somewhat portable that would be great. Pimarily to be used to inflate car and bike tires. Every store and web site seems to have one but don't want to get stuck with a POS. I'd rather spend a little more and get one that will last. Suggestions appreciated?

Believe it or not, this one is pretty good.

A few years ago you could buy them for $20 from a chain auto parts store (Checkers maybe?) I thought it was so good for the price, I bought 3 of them. I've used it to inflate 32" Jeep tires from trail pressure (~11 psi) to highway pressure, no problems.

POST 3Original post

I'd prefer one that I could run tools with. This generally is not portable, although mine is on wheels and I've loaded it in the back of my Jeep. I'd get anything but an oil-less as they are ruthlessly noisy. Look at Home Depot or Lowe's, anything cast iron with oil in the lower case is good.

POST 4Original post

I'm quite happy with this one. Very powerful and quiet. Uses quit a bit of current but no problem topping off tires even w/o engine running to recharge the battery.
