Default Cool little compressor

I got a very low tire this week in one of my ALL SEASON tires. So low that I couldn't try to drive to a place to fill it up. So, I decided to get one of those 12v compressors that you can take in your trunk in case of an emergency. Tried it out and it works great. They are on sale now, so I figured I would pass it on...

gee i wonder if it would work for snow tires as well.

it will be good enough until you can get back to the dealer and you can get them refilled with nitrogen.

Wow! Good enough for Bass - I gotta have one It also might come in handy somewhere else to play with tire pressures...

I am not saying the "t" word -- Doug will show up also and you know what happens then

Thx Jeff!

I'll have to pick one of these up. I killed my last crappy pepboys one after attempting to fill up two sets of bicycle tires. Might have been because I was trying to fill them up back to back and all to 100 psi All I can say is that the dial gauge should not have indicated it could read pressures way past that.

Is the sears one fairly loud?

No, this was surprisingly quiet. Not much more needs to be said about it after finding out it is GOOD ENOUGH FOR BASS.

Oh, and it WILL NOT WORK on snow tires

i like it cause it's set it and forget it

you set the psi on that little gauge and it will stop when you get to the proper pressure
