Its hard to tell from the pictures but is the M18 small enough to keep in your truck or car trunk?

I like to keep my own air compressor in my car so if I need air I'm not hunting for a gas station.

Plenty small enough, it's around the size of a 20 or 25 pound hex dumbell if that helps.

Thanks.....I placed my order today.

How do you get the veteran discount? Sign up for an account or is there a discount code?

ETA: order placed

Yeah, I previously signed up for an account and did the ID.me thing to get my veteran status verified. Now when I order stuff online, it applies the veteran's discount automatically. At the register, when I enter my phone number it triggers the discount.

Thanks for posting this. My compressor showed up the other day and tried it on my car. The third were low by 5psi and the pump took care of that in no time. A heck of a lot easier than dragging out my air compressor

Mine lives in my second row floorboard, along with a bag containing hitch/ recovery supplies.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Great deal. Nicely built unit - Taiwan. Batteries seem from China.

Now I don't have to carry around my air tank and/or fire up my portable air compressor.

Damn you people! Always costing me money...

I haven't had a flat in probably 30 years...at least (knock on wood). But, you never know.

I got mine. Picked it up Thursday when it arrived at my local HD.
Fired it up with batteries I already had. Worked great. Nice tool.
Today I broke out the new batteries and charger. The batteries do not seat and engage well in the charger. I will have to explore if it is the charger or the batteries. I will have to try other charger/battery combinations to find out.

Finally, a post that triggered justification for this purchase. This will go with me to the track so I can air up when done or adjust at the track. That and it’s worth it just for 2 more batteries.

Follow up
These two batteries are just tight to slide into the charger connections. A little more force and they work. This is the case on chargers I already have.
