Is it powerful enough and will it inflate automobile tires easily?
1802269
For sure. I just did a flat from dead to inflated -- took about 20 minutes with wall plug. Much easier than changing the tire, then drove to town and got a patch.

This is for small jobs only, and for emergencies on the road. You can inflate auto tires, but best for simply adding a few pounds to an auto tire. But, in an emergency you can add say 20 lbs to an auto tire, if needed. I use it mainly for my lawn tractor, but sometimes add a few pounds to one of our cars. It does not have enough power to fill a tubeless tire from zero pressure if the rim seal is broken. You need a more powerful compressor to reseal the rim and fill the tire. This is true for most any tubeless tire that has no pressure, not just vehicles. Hope this helps.

Yes it will, but I suggest a tire gage to double check the pressure. My unit runs about 5 lbs. lower than what I set it for, but not always exactly that amount. So in other words, If I want to inflate the tire to 35 lbs. if I set it for 40, it may do 37 or 34 or 39. Not a big deal, but it takes a bit of getting used to.

Yes, I have inflated a 245 18 55 from 2 psi to 38 psi with no problem. It would be pretty worthless as a product if it could not do its one job.
1802273
I would say no. It does not seem that powerful. Also mine has been sputtering lately so its durability worries me now. Bummer!

I keep one of these in each of my cars. I use it to top off the air in the tires, as well as for emergencies. It takes about ten minutes to completely inflate a tire on my wife's economy car and way longer on my SUV. It gets very hot when running for prolonged periods of time, so I only do so occasionally. If you need to do something like that on a regular basis, get a real compressor and not something that runs off the cigarette lighter in your car.

Yes, I think it is, but not bike tires because of their much higher Pressure

Yes, absolutely. Just be mindful that it must be connected directly to a battery so you will be standing next to a vehicle with your mattress until it inflates. The good news is, it will be inflated really fast. Much faster than the ones with 4 D cell batteries.

Well, this one has a rather small reservoir also, so it will completely discharge itself into the tire in a few seconds, then slowly chug its way up to the 120 psi you require. However, that having been said, I find it does an adequate job airing up pretty much anything I have used it for. Have used it quite a bit over the last year and have had no problems. Remarkably easy to carry around and as long as you buy a good hose and pressure gauge, it should do the job. It won't be fast like a huge reservoir compressor, but it will get the job done.

Yes it will. Well a stand alone air compressor is going to do a better job since it can shoot air into a tire faster.

I use it for filling lawn mower tires and for running trim guns around the house for small projects. I would think it would fill a car tire also it recovers fast

Yes, it is plenty powerful enough to make my double high queen sized air mattress firm with plenty of power to spare. The power last longer than the Colemans.

Yes, it has been a good compressor for me. I use it for pneumatic nailers, it has a 2 gallon tank which would be excellent for bike tires, it may run a little but ive fill my car tires with it.

Easily but would take forever. Airbags have low volume so easy to fill. A truck tire would either burn up the pump or you'd have to do it in bursts and let it cool between
1240887
yes, but it will take a lot of effort since the volume of air in a car tire is much greater then a bicycle tire.

Personally I did not think much of this item and I eventually returned it. I was only using for maintaining the air pressure for my car and bikes. The compressor would run out of air much faster than blow up a single tire, so this did not work for me. Possibly if you have a different use in mind it will work for you.

This is a sufficient compressor to inflate auto tires, but you will need to have a tire inflator for it.
916125
It might but would have to know the current draw of the tire inflator to know for sure. This inverter is for 150w max power draw. If you use the formula Watts=Volts x Amps then 150W/120V equals a max current draw of 1.25 amps. Remember this is max current draw and the inverter will probable overheat if powering this load for more than a minute or two. If your inflator draws 0.625 amps (50% of max rating) or less this power inverter should work ok. I am guessing that your inflator draws way more than this so I would recommend a much higher wattage power inverter.

Yes, I use this compressor to air my tires. You will need to purchase attachment available in any hardware or home supply store for $15-$20. Don't forget the quick connect (if the tire attachment doesn't come with it). A great compressor kit, use it all the time.

Possibly since it blows air and has has several types of attachments for stuff like tires, inner tubes, and balls, but don't think it would be a good choice since it plugs into your automobile lighter outlet and not an electrical outlet.

Bettyann, I have this inflator, but I use it to inflate or "top off" my car tires or my lawn tractor tires. It does a good job on those in a very reasonable amount of time. I assume it would also do a good job in your situation even though yours is more about the volume of air at relative low pressure while my use is more about the pressure of the air at relatively low volume. Hope this helps a little.

I'm not sure. The air compressor is to small for anything I wanted to use it for. It would not even blow up my bike tires.It may be good for a soccer ball or something similar.

How is it used? you mean how to use it? Just plug the tire inflator to the air hose. and hold end of hose to the valve stem to pump air. how is the quality? It works good on car tire. it pump air quite fast. i've had it for about 2 months now. it still pump air as it was new. gauge is still reading accurately. i've used it to pump a portable air can to 100psi. I mean it works good for that price on sale. I like it.
