I bought this particular model because the inflation tube is detachable. I had 2 others that didn't come off. The storage case on both was designed so that you had to bend the tube 90 degrees to fit the case. Both ended with a broken pipe at an angle. It's okay, it's very simple. However, it's only really good for small tires like bike tires or my golf cart, and can compact cars with very small tires. I have a Nissan Frontier and it took forever. > 5 min to inflate a tire. At this point the hose was too hot to touch. There is no way it will work on my SUV tires. I am staying with my kesson which I need to hook up to 2 cars.
