> 3 dayI purchased this because I was sick of my old compressor for tires in my garage. It was over 3X the size of this new unit. My old unit had a short power cord so it always needed an extension cord that always came loose. It was annoying. So I looked at smaller battery units like this. I first realized the really small ones could not do tires for my truck. Or the could do it but youd have to be very patient. This unit seemed right as far as being small and powerful enough to do truck tires in reasonable time. It delivered perfectly. I unboxed it and it showed a full battery. My truck tires on the right side were a little low so I put it to work right away with no charging. I ended up topping off all tires in about 10 minutes very easily. Just as quick as the plug in unit I used to use that was huge. Also this is a little quieter. My old unit was only about 4 years old but this is huge leap in simplicity and convenience. I intend to keep this in my truck for emergencies as a bonus now. Its small enough for behind the back seat. I think this is a brilliant small pump with a lot of convenience.

> 3 dayTL;DR: A portable tire inflator is a must have these days so you do not get stuck with a low pressure/flat tire while on the go. The Shockflo is a fantastic option as it combines several great features into one small package. This tire pump has several different “modes” that accommodate everything from car or SUV tires, to bikes or sport balls. It saves the PSI settings per mode so that you can switch seamlessly and pump quickly. The screw on tip is so much easier and quicker than the older more traditional “L” shape latches and you lose minimal air pressure while attaching and removing the pump from the tire. Pro’s: ~Small and compact ~Touch screen is very easy to use ~Multiple modes like sport balls, bicycles, motorcycle, car, SUV and saves the PSI settings for each. ~Emergency light that is either on white, flashing red and blue, or flashing white ~Auto shut off when PSI is reached ~Twist attachment instead of “L” shape latch provides much less air pressure loss on attachment/detachment ~Rubber loop handle to pick up pump prevents burns after pumping is finished as unit can get hot ~Soft rubber hose makes it easy to bend to attach to the tire ~Includes a few other attachments like a ball pump needle or blowup float pointy tip ~Does not move while pumping Con’s: ~I honestly cannot think of one at this moment. Review: I have had multiple tire pumps throughout my life and they are getting better and better every time. I currently have 3 portable pumps, two older pumps that I leave in my vehicles and now this new Shockflo pump that I plan to leave in my garage for easier home pumping. I purchased a DC to AC adapter a couple years ago so that I do not need to plug the pump into my car in my garage. My first impression of the Shockflo is very good. In the box, you get the pump, instruction manual, and a little bag that has the DC plug and a couple of pump attachments for floats and balls. Using the pump is extremely easy. As soon as I plugged the pump in, the touch screen turned on. The pressure display was 0.0 as to be expected. The top of the touch screen allows you to choose between 5 different saved pump modes; Ball, Bicycle, Motorcycle, Car, Truck/SUV. By pushing one of those buttons, the pre programmed PSI pops up. You can then adjust the desired PSI with the + or - buttons. My absolute favorite part of this pump is the hose and attachment piece. The hose is a soft rubber that bends very easily while attaching to the tire. I have had other pumps that use tougher nylon laced hoses that when bending to screw onto the tire, the whole pump moves and falls over. I also love the screw on tip vs the old style “L” shape clamp. It is so much easier to twist on and is a one handed operation. After screwing the hose onto the tire, the PSI gauge reads the current tire pressure. To pump the tire to the desired pressure, simply press the + or - to the pressure you want and press the Play/Pause button. It will start pumping right away and automatically stop when the desired pressure is reached. There is enough weight in the unit, as well as rubber feet, that prevent the whole pump from moving due to the vibrations. This is also a nice touch because there are other pumps that you have to hold still while pumping or it will move and start tugging on the hose. Then unscrew the tip from the tire and you are done. Now my cars have different tire pressure per front/rear tires. This is quite common. Since the pump saves the tire pressure per mode, I have chosen to use the Car mode for my front tires and the SUV mode for the rear tires. That way once the pressures are set, I no longer need to worry about remembering their PSI or checking the door jam for the correct pressure. Conclusion: Overall this is a great pump for intermittent use. This is by no means a commercial device, nor does it say it is. It is a wonderful unit to leave in your car for emergencies or when the weather changes, tire pressures often need to be adjusted a few PSI. The programability is a great feature so you don’t need to remember the pressures of your tires and the additional modes makes this pump optimal for several different products in addition to tires. It is compact and fits nicely in the bag provided. I highly recommend the Shockflo Air Compressor if in need of a pump.

> 3 dayThis Cordless Tire Inflator from ShockFlo is a bit nicer than I expected. It arrived to me as shown in the listing here. The packaging for this Portable Air Compressor/Tire Inflator is nice, the box features the specs and details for the air compressor. Within the box you get the air compressor, a USB-C charging cable, an assortment of adapters for inflating various things, power cable, a storage bag, and also an instruction manual. The instruction manual is thorough and explains well how to operate this air compressor. The design of the air compressor is nice. Once powered on the touch-screen style buttons on top of the compressor illuminate and become active. The buttons across the top are preset PSI settings for different things (Ball, Bicycle Tire, etc). I don’t use those buttons. The center has information on the batterie’s capacity, and the current PSI of whatever you have the fill hose attached to. The bottom 5 buttons are for the light, increase PSI, Decrease PSI, Start/Stop inflation, and change unit of measurement (PSI, BAR, KPA, etc). The storage bag is a nice touch, it has a enough space within to hold the air compressor and all of it’s accessories. The air fill hose tucks away easily on the underside of the device. It’s easy to take the hose out for use, and also put it away when finished. The noise level isn’t too bad, but, it’s an air compressor, so it’s not exactly quiet. The internal battery is the big thing I like about this portable air compressor, which makes it a breeze to top off tires that get low, without having a separate power cord for the air compressor to dodge and dance around. The air compressor also fills at a good speed, and will automatically shut itself off when it reaches the set PSI. Charging this air compressors internal battery is easy. When plugged in to charge, the display will show the bar for the battery’s capacity and it will blink while charging. Once charging is complete the battery level bar will stop blinking and remain solid. The capacity for the internal battery is also decent, 7,800mAh. This portable inflator can also be operated through it’s optional power cord that attaches into the car’s 12V cigarette lighter power port. Overall, its an air compressor with an internal battery that works well, hasn’t presented me with any problems, and inflates at a good speed. I have no complaints!

> 3 dayIts small but powerful. Has diferent attachments to inflate several things. You can regulate the preasure based on what you are charging. Has a built in light as well. I like that the hose has its own sotrage compartment. Comes with its own storage bas wich is a plus. Heavy duty silicone handle. I wish it had a wall cable as well. Price is fair for this little inflator.

> 3 dayNice quiet and easy to use and a good item to have. I had an older brand and model, it was good at first but as time passed it began to struggle pumping air into the tires of my car. This one seems strong and inflates my tire(s) in minutes. It doesnt vibrate all over the place while inflating and the gauge is readable during inflating. It also came with different nozzle sizes for inflating different items which makes it great for sport activities, a day at the beach, and camping. I do recommend have this available if needed.

Greater than one weekThis device was extremely easy to use, charge & store! Way better than paying to use an air pump at a gas station.
