When you live in the desert, tires sometimes deflate very easily. One tire one day, 2 the next day, who can name it. I don't know how many times I've called AAA just to have a tire blow out. I don't know how many times I've gone to a tire shop, not to buy a tire, just to get some air. What a waste of time. Because this compressor is small enough to fit in the trunk or in the back of your car, even if you have a small car, and powerful enough to blow up your tire, soccer ball or something, and cute enough not to hate to have in his car. It has a very cosmic look to it, it seems like it's metal but it's not, it's plastic but it looks cool, that's one thing but super functionality is another. And it's nice to know that you can blow your own tire if you want and have to. I highly recommend it. Thank you for reading my review. May God bless you and yours. May the rest of your life be the best of your life. ounces
