I attempted to search but not many were found.
What do you guys use for portable tire inflator?
I'm looking for one around $20 that has coiled hose which has the chuck thing at the end, and connects to either battery or cigarette lighter.
Homedepot has Goodyear i3000 12v tire inflator for $19. Dunno if I should go for it or look around more for coiled hose andbetter look lol
thanks
auto stop feature would be nice

the first time i looked at i7000, it was the one i was looking for but too expensive for a tire inflator. What do you think about i3000?

The biggest issue with the 12V ones is time. Because the flow rate is so small it takes forever just to bump 2 to 5 psi in a tire.
For air tanks I would look at the Northern Tool and Harbor Freight brands. They will work just fine as long as you stay 10+ PSI under their max.

All those 12-volt compressors take forever to add a couple of pounds of pressure to four tires. I use my bicycle floor pump (pumps air about 10 times faster). My bike has a small frame pump on it for roadside repairs, but I keep a large floor pump in the garage and it does double duty for bikes and topping up the cars.
