So I've been dealing with tire pressure issue on my car the past year. Took it to 3 different places to check for leaks and they found none. I can tell there's a leak somewhere as I lose 10 psi every couple of weeks. Maybe the leak doesn't happen all the time and only under certain conditions that it does not experience at the auto dealer service center. The tire is still good with a lot of treads so I don't want to replace it. So instead of making trips to the gas station and paying $1.50 each time to use their air compressor machine, I opted to buy an air compressor. The one I got is the TackLife ACP1B tire inflator. It's got pretty good reviews on Amazon so I though I'd give it a try. It takes power from the car's 12v cigarette light adapter. Operating the device is pretty simple. You just plug it into your tire valve, then the TackLife into the cigarette light adapter and then start your car. It will then display the current PSI your tire has. use the + and - button to the desired PSI and hit the power button. Once the device inflates to the PSI you set to, it will shut off automatically. The tire on my car was down to 17psi. To get the TackLife to inflate it to 35PSI, it took around 2.5 minutes. Not bad. The unit didn't get hot at all except for the air cable which felt a bit warm to the touch.
Pros:
- Small and lightweight. Good for taking with you on long road trips.
- Comes with carrying case.
- Uses your car's 12v cigarette light socket as power.
- Has a spotlight feature on the side.
- Can inflate up to 150 PSI
- LCD display unit.
- Comes with a backup fuse.
- Fast to inflate.
Cons:
- A bit noisy during operation.
