Portable tire inflator recommendations

This little thing works fine for me.

I have a 2gal Milwaukee m18 battery powered compressor that fills the tires really quickly, but that little m12 inflator does what I need and it’s very compact. It takes about 4 minutes per tire to go from 20-35psi. It won’t fill all 4 with one small 2ah battery, but the larger battery will easily. You an find generic m12 6ah batteries on Amazon, $42 for a two pack. It shuts itself off when you get to the pressure you set it at too, so you don’t have to sit and watch it.

I can’t find the NAPA one in stock might just go with Viair. Thanks all.

Which one did you decide to go with? 400P?

@mybikeisred What size tires are you inflating?

I've seen good things about the Smittybilt 2781 but don't have first-hand experience with it. It is a more budget-friendly option compared to some. I think I'll go that route as the Napa one doesn't seem like it's available in Canada.

The VIAIR looks like a good option. I also came across this AllTop. Anyone have any experience with this one? One of the first reviews did a comparison between the AllTop and VIAIR 88P - a far cry from the 400P they recommend for 35" tires.

I picked up the AllTop from Amazon. Tested it out on a couple tires in my garage. Works well. Bringing it to Moab this week for a real test tho.

Just placed an order for a Viair 400p Auto!

My husband picked up the Smittybilt 2.54 CFM compressor as a birthday present for me and we tried it out this past weekend. Just under 15 minutes to get all 4 tires from 23 PSI to 39, which I'm perfectly happy with.

Smittybilt 2781 5.65 CFM Universal Air Compressor - Will take a 285 75 R17 from 18 to 50 psi in about 3 minutes. BE WARNED: in the owners literature, you’ll see that they indicate the compressor and fittings get hot. Reliable and used by off-roaders mainly due to the performance/price ratio.

Is this any good? It seems like the maxitrac is out of stock everywhere.

My viair works really well filling my 33' tires. The once piece of advice I would give is that you need a valve extender for the hosel to be able to reach the tire stem. I got stranded on the trail because the viair hose doesn't reach the stock valve.
