Portable Air Compressor

[Jim Dow]

I've seen someone asking about portable air compressors in the recent past.

This Hitachi 120v unit has plenty of power and volume to air up truck/trailer tires; and it weighs less than 50lbs.

This is the one I use; and I have been very satisfied by its weight and performance.

I found it at Lowes.

That 2Gal should be handy. I already had a smaller DeWalt 1 Gal compressor whuich is nearly useless without 110V as there is just not enough volume.
I'm going to invest in a good 12V unit for the trailer. Might even hardwire it inside the front pass-through storage compartment.

The best 12V compressor that I've found is by Viair. Their top of the line (450P, I think) is the only one I've found that is rated for 100% duty cycle.

It's expensive, but works great, even when dealing with bringing LT tires up to 80psi.
