Can anyone recommend a good tire inflator? I have searched Amazon and a lot of people complain most compressors do not move enough air volume to inflate stuff in a reasonable amount of time. I just can't seem to find anything that looks decent. I want to avoid trips to the gas station to adjust the pressure in my tires.

One of my old neighbors had a Mazda 929 he kept garaged. Why I don't know, but the car was immaculate, and had maybe 6k miles on it. I'd see him every Friday afternoon checking tire pressures and airing them up as needed with a bicycle pump.

 

time for an air compressor and air tools.

Spend a little bit more money and get a compressor so you can then invest in some air tools in the future. It will make you life a lot easier for future repairs.

 

are you looking for a home unit or a light weight unit for after running at the track?

 

I bought one of these for use at autox and track, it works pretty well

Its a bit on the slow side but usually you are only adjusting up ~10lbs or so. Doesnt take to long, no cords to worry about and lasts forever, FOREVER, on a single charge.

 

this work too??

I bought the cheapest nastiest compressor i could find, it cost me about $10, it takes 3-5 minutes to inflate a soft tyre to the correct pressure, but it does the job and the gauge on it is pretty accurate. Why pay a ball of money for something thats only going to do the job a minute or two quicker. The way i look at it, if i was somewhere and discovered i had a soft tyre then to hell with how long it takes, so long as i dont have to drive on it to a gas station to get to an air pump!

 

so one that i linked. that will work just fine?

You can find small, lightweight units that plug into your cigarette lighter at any auto parts store as well as discounters like Wal-Mart or Target for $10-15.

 

I got mine at the 'Zone for 20$. I've been saving quarters ever since.

 

Another option if you already have a compressor at home is a small air tank. I used to use one of these at the drag strip after I lowered tire pressure. Another option is a pancake compressor. You can pick one of these up at a pawn shop cheap.
