This little tire pump, recommended by member P250UA5, is the cat’s meow.

My Chevron station has free air, but I sometimes have to wait for other users to clear out. And horsing the spring tensioned hose around to all four tires is a PITA. Also, its air pressure gauge is pathetically wrong. I have to fill above desired pressure, then use my own gauge and bleed air pressure down to what I actually want.

The little Airmoto make it so much easier. I have it preset it to desired air pressure (0.5 PSI resolution). I extract its 6” hose, screw the hose’s captive nut onto the tire valve stem, press its “start” button, then wait until it turns off automatically when the preset pressure is achieved. Done!

It’s not fast – takes about a minute to raise tire pressure by 1 PSI. But a helluva lot faster than driving to my Chevron station and going through the tedious procedure there. Also, tires are ideally pressurized when the car hasn’t been driven for several hours.

The Airmoto also has modes for filling bicycle tires and basketballs, etc. And it had a USB-C jack for charging its battery. Well worth its cost to me.

Looks cool but my Ryobi 18v one has been great so far. I'll check it out if it dies

Glad you're liking it. I need to pick up a 2nd or even 3rd to keep in my wife's truck & have a 3rd for the Midget or around the house use.

I picked one up. Inflated 4 car tires fairly quickly. Set the PSI and go. Was only off by 1lb when I checked it afterwards.

The local Discount Tire has a drive-through lane, where an employee will handle your tire inflation. No charge, as in free.

This gives them an opportunity to look at your tires and refer you to sales department, based on tire condition.

But when you leave for work over an hour before DT opens, and the tire light is on. This is a lot easier than lugging the compressor from the shed.
I also rotate my tires every [or every other] oil change, so I get a good look at the tread pretty regularly.

The other day I almost stopped at Home Depot and spent $180+ on a cordless Milwaukee air pump because I didn't want to take the snow off my mini shed that houses my big compressor and roll out the frozen hose to blow up a tire. In my defense it was 12 degrees. Big Grin

You should do it, it's a great little compressor! I love mine.

"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."

I bought a small Fanttik pump from Costco - about the same size as the Airmoto.

I bought a 90-degree chuck for it to make it easier to connect to my motorcycle tires.
