Impressive performance, nice features

I have a 2014 Buick LaCrosse with 19" wheels. These factory washers are breathable and need topping up every few days. , Compressor with a capacity of 2 liters. A portable pump in the trunk would certainly be handy. Except for a few lighter duty pumps I've had over the years, all of which have been terrible: too slow, too noisy, get hot, jump or fall on their side, short cord. I've had 4-6 of these and typically cost $25-35 a piece for 40 years. I decided I needed to up my game this time and this little device didn't disappoint. Paid about $60 for the digital version. Tire repair kit included after 10% discount, which increases the cost, but I probably won't try to fix a tire. However, it's nice to have a basic set of tools in the trunk. Including pliers, screwdrivers etc. with a small zip pocket. The pump has a very long power cord and includes an adapter for 12V open battery operation (don't think I'll be pumping my tires without a battery, but maybe for other uses?) the hose on the pump almost goes through the whole car. What's particularly nice is that it attaches to the tire shaft and rotates like a valve cap. Don't hold onto it. Operation: The display is activated when you plug it into the socket. Set the pressure to max - I did 35psi with +/-. Connect the tube to the tire and press the switch on the side. The pump displays the current tire pressure and will increase by half a pound during operation. It's fairly quiet and the rubber feet prevent the device from walking around. 25 PSI to 35 PSI took less than a minute or so. Once it reaches the chosen pressure, it continues to work but does not increase the pressure. I was able to fill up three tires quickly because the fourth was already okay. The pump did not get hot. Then I turned off the pump and twisted the hose off the shaft. This released some air and my digital tire pressure gauge read about 32 pounds. Perhaps releasing it while keeping the pump on will bring the pressure closer to the set pressure? Pump, cable, hose extension, power supply and a small bag with adapters for sports balls and inflatable dolls as well as 2 spare fuses fit into the included zip case. . As others have said, the bag is cheap but everything seems fine and everything fits. Overall the quality looks ok and everything works. The digital display was almost square, slightly angled, but otherwise I'm happy with what I got for the price.
