> 24 hourUsed it only twice so far. Good construction, works fast for its size. I used it out in the mountains after and air down for offroading. Pack it comes in is nice but hard to pack in after unraveling everything. That may just be a me thing and my patience. Gets very hot, be careful and use the handle!

> 24 hourThis pump really puts out the air. It would raise the pressure in my 16” tires by 2-3 psi every minute at 60 psi. This was partially due to the higher current available (about 17 amps) by clipping the cable directly to your battery terminals rather than using a cigarette lighter outlet which is limited to about 10 amps. The cord and fill hose were quite long and the pressure drop in the hose may have contributed to the gauge’s poor accuracy- it was off about 4 psi. It might not do so well for big 30” RV or 18 wheeler tires. They need a high output compressor so it doesn’t take hours to fill. But overall, a great compressor for the price.

> 24 hourI used a few portable air compressors in my lifetime this seems to be of good quality as I said before I havent used it but I gave a dry run to make sure it works But here are some things that I think separate this from other portable compressors Compressor open heat sink: the compressor end has a all metal heat sink that surrounds the entire compressor head and it is open to allow airflow- this feature is found on industrial compressors and provides cooling by means of natural heat dissipation through the fins The gauge is off the compressor head: most portable compressors have the gauge directly off the compressor end which this gauge receives hot air and induces vibrating and possible gauge failure Alligator clips instead of cigarette lighter: In my opinion running off the battery is better than off the cigarette lighter which used constantly will cause damage to the cigarette lighter circuit

> 24 hourIve had this pump for almost a year. Easy to use. Reliable. Pressure gauge not that accurate. But you can use another pressure gauge to double check. The carry case is a must - you dont want those wires and tubing loose in your vehicle. Most difficult part of using this pump is getting it to fit back into the case... takes a bit of thought and practice. Altogether, Im very happy with this product.

> 24 hourVery strong compressor. Seems to be made very well. The only fault I see is that the pressure gauge is completely wrong. But I just use a good tire gauge so no biggie.

> 24 hourIve owned this product for a year and a half now and use it practically every weekend. I air down my 33 inch tires to about 15 lb and use this compressor to pump them back up to 34 lb. Takes about 12 minutes to do all four tires. Thats over 200 inflations without any issues . I like the little bag it comes in which keeps it looking new. Its heavy solid and sounds very strong when its running. Definitely a five-star product.

> 24 hourIf you are looking for a new tire pump to be able to maintain your tire pressure throughout the year when the weather changes and your tires lose a few PSI (and you like having a tire pump in your vehicle in case of flat tires) then look no further! This thing is EXCELLENT. It is well made and will last a very long time. It comes with a very nice carrying case and is small enough to stow away in vehicle with ease. The hose is very good quality and the valve is a screw on that gets a great seal so you don’t lose any air as your pumping the tire. I timed how long it took the pump to get me from 27 PSI up to 38 Psi and it was just about 50 seconds. I am SUPER impressed and super happy with this unit. I regret not getting one years ago. I previously used one that was about $15-$20 and would take about 6 minutes just to top off 1 tire. Now with this unit I can top off all 4 tires in under 5 minutes. Certainly worth the price.

> 24 hourVery impressive, well made product even tho the on board air gauge is off by 10psi.... its quiet, fast and does the job. Youll be happy you bought it.

> 24 hourJust got it. First thing I noticed was that it looks and feels better made than the pictures. Definitely a quality product and better than a lot of the portable auto air compressors out there. Tried it out on my truck. Let out about 10 PSI and filled it back up in under 30 seconds? I wasnt timing, but way faster than anything similar Ive ever used. Its heavier than other products its size. Its relatively quiet. It doesnt sound like its screaming and about to fall apart. Im actually really impressed. Glad I got it, and that I feel like Ill be able to depend on it when I need it. Only thing is the light is just a little LED. Really more like so you dont kick it in the dark, instead of a light for lighting things up. But I wasnt even interested in the light.

> 24 hourI bought this in 2016 for road trips and packed it in the trunk. Fast forward to April 2023 and Im cruising down the interstate when I see the low tire pressure indicator light up and its really low. I had just passed an exit with a gas station and thought great, another 60 miles to the next one. But then I remembered I bought the VIAIR 88P - 00088 compressor a while back and pulled into the next overnight rest stop. The VIAIR was super easy to clip onto the battery and the hose fit easily and snugly to the value. I turned it on and thought Id have to wait a while for small little unit to pump up my tire. But by the time I sat down in the car I looked at the pressure gauge and it already was at 40 psi. I ran out and looked at the VIAIR gauge and it was at 40 psi too. Let me just say I was super impressed at the power and speed of this rather inexpensive portable compressor. If youre on the fence -- buy it. Its highly rated and works better than the one at 3x the cost.
