Beautiful packaging. I put the whole unit back in the box and keep it in my trunk. I also keep a tire inflation kit and a bottle of soapy water (usually for hand washing) so I'm prepared for most flat tire emergencies! It's not as loud as some I've heard, but it's not quiet either. It inflates a truck tire in less than 6 minutes and the digital gauge is convenient and accurate. Follow the instructions and don't let it run for more than 8 minutes at a time and it should do the trick as it looks reasonably well made.
