The power cord on this car tire air inflator is 9 feet long, while the Air Moto Model hose is 12 feet long, making it great for larger trucks. Like the EPAuto compressor, there is a screw-on chuck, but the Viair needs to be connected directly to the battery and not a cigarette lighter socket. The Viair 889 handheld compressor comes with a three-piece accessory kit for inflating other inflatable objects such as sporting and home equipment, and there is a built-in air pressure gauge. Some reviews indicated that it comes with a carrying bag, while other customers weren't sent one, though. This portable tire inflator gets runner-up status for its higher price tag and lack of an auto-stop feature, but those driving bigger vehicles will surely find the Viair 88P Portable Air Compressor a good value that will come in handy if you find yourself needing it for an underinflated tire.

Air compressors require an electric power supply. For off-road compressors, this is usually supplied by a running engine through the vehicle’s battery. You’ll want to ensure that your Jeep can supply the voltage that a portable air compressor requires before making a purchase. The amperage listed for a compressor indicates how powerful its motor is. Compressors with higher amperage ratings will recharge faster and be able to move more air at higher pressures. This is another performance measurement that can be important if you need an air compressor to run for extended periods of time. It refers to the amount of time the air compressor can run before it needs to stop, either to avoid overheating or to recharge its storage tank. Duty cycles are sometimes measured as a ratio of run time versus time spent recharging or cooling. A 33% duty cycle, for example, might mean the compressor can run for 15 minutes before needing to stop running for 30 minutes.

The pump setup is supported by a 2.5gal cylindrical air tank fitted with a brass spring loaded emergency relief valve for keeping the 200PSI site assistant safe. Integrated into the compressors black plastic case are two dial gauges for both set and tank pressure indications, and a nifty dial knob for adjusting and setting operating pressure. Industry standard quick connect fittings are required to complete the plumbing for charged air supply, and there are two output connections for much needed site flexibility. The complete compressor and tank assembly weighs in at 36lbs carry weight and the steel frame is fitted with rugged foot pads for a non-slip setup in either upright or lay flat mounting. With its considerate design, the compressor can be lifted with one or two hands, grabbing any convenient part of the steel roll cage for easy portability. Since the pump requires no maintenance, compressor upkeep is reduced to general cleaning and sporadic tank drainage. The Dewalt DWFP55130 is a durable and flexible trim compressor that stretches the limits of portable air supply. The purchase comes with a one year manufacturer’s limited warranty, but however does not include the necessary hoses and accessories you will need to make the unit productive. It instead includes thirty plus pounds of Dewalt satisfaction and reliability. Ownership costs are minimised as the unit requires no routine maintenance or sporadic part changes. With great care and appropriate use the oil free pump can prove to be a long life companion, quietly raising the level of your worksite game. This Dewalt air head is yours to keep and own - not a bad offering, and definitely an attractive opportunity for a quick return on investment. More reliable equipment backing, more projects completed - benefits you expect from the best portable air compressor. Go check it out.

Before buying a portable air compressor? 1. Check the durability. An air compressor should be durable enough to handle the most heavy-duty tasks without breaking down or leaking. They must be resistant to overheating even when running for long periods. 2. Research the brand. Brands such as Makita, DeWalt, and California Air Tools make some of the best air compressors on the market. Models from these brands generally deliver excellent performance and have proven durability and Air Moto Model reliability. 3. Consider the rated horsepower. Air compressors with higher horsepower ratings allow you to pump more air. This is especially important if you need to have an abundant supply of pressurized air for demanding jobs. 4. What is the compressed air capacity? A higher capacity tank will allow you to store more compressed air so that the motor doesn’t have to be constantly working. This reduces wear and tear on the engine and prolongs the life of your compressor.

While most air compressors have enough power for general needs, the more powerful the compressor, the faster it will fill its tank with air. Horsepower can also affect how much maximum pressure a compressor can produce. Small electric motors should have at least 0.5 hp, while gasoline-powered options can benefit from as much as 5 hp engines. Again, it’s important to consider the power source. If you’ll be working mostly on renovation projects, an electric air compressor will likely suffice. But when taking tools on the road to remote locations, a gas-powered compressor might be worth considering. Portable air compressors have varying maximum pressures, which are measured in pounds per square inch. Some might pressurize to 120 PSI, while others can produce up to 150 or even as high as 180 PSI. Users can adjust the outgoing pressure with the regulator knob, checking the pressure gauge to adjust it to the correct pressure.
