| I have the Dewalt inflator, as the rest of my cordless tools can share batteries. I use it for vehicle and trailer tires, as well as inflating our river tubes. Never any issues. |

| Are any of these things made in USA? All the ones that I've been able to identify, are Chinese made. |

Very, very few electric tools are made in the US nowadays. You might be able to find some that are made outside of China (like Mexico or Vietnam), but likely not made in the US. |

Just for the
hell of it
| How are you going to use it? I like the idea of one that matches your tool batteries but that doesn't work so well if you plan on leaving it in your car unless you always keep a charged battery in your car also. If you are going to throw it in your car and leave it might be better with one that runs off your car's 12-volt system.

A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable.

He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."

His Royal Hiney
| I bought a tire inflator / battery jumper / portable AC outlet / USB Charger labeled DeWalt from Costco but it's a little bigger than a foot cube. I still have it but it's in the garage. I bought this for a tire inflator and it's small and the jumper is similarly sized. Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor - Air Pump for Car Tires with Tire Pressure Gauge (120 PSI)
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view
| Interested in the Viair 88P. Looking at the specs it has a 10ft power cord and a 16ft air hose. How much bulk does the air hose add instead of a longer power cord and shorter hose? It is not an issue in my truck but storage space is a concern in my wife's car.

Savor the limelight
| ^^^I know it’s a little late to answer your question, but the answer is not much. The whole thing is about the size of two loaves of bread:  I took my 450p up to MI last week with the minivan and tandem PWC trailer and flew back. That left me without a portable compressor when I take the truck and another trailer up in a few weeks so I ordered an 88p from Amazon yesterday. It arrived today and I already pumped up a flat tire on the Beetle. Four new roofs on our street in the last month. Anyway, it’s a lot smaller than the 400p, but it filled the tire in a few minutes. There’s nothing that feels cheap about it. The bag is nice, the battery clamps are nice, and the hose is nice. On a side note, Viair apparently is derived from vital air. I’ve only owned one for 8 years and just caught on today. |

| Get the viair. When that tire has shit the bed is a poor time to discover your battery is toast in that inflator. I’ve used my Viair several times as a rescue for others, as well as bicycle tires. It requires nothing after stowing it away. If you have some sort of hidden battery posts be sure the model you choose can run off a cigarette lighter.

| Fanttik S100 APEX Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor is on special at Costco (maybe just Canadian?). It looks like a pretty good price.

| Just an FYI, if you have pool floaties, air mattresses, and/or those inflatable islands to inflate a shop vac or leaf blower are your best bets. |
