Review on πŸ’¨ ARCAN Portable 12V/DC Air Compressor Pump for Professional Tools (APACP12VDC) by Kevin Ayala

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent portable air pump. I wish it had an AC option but other than that it's good

Everyone should have a portable air pump - for a car, a motorcycle or both. From fully portable pumps based on lithium-ion batteries or large lead-acid motorcycle batteries, to pumps that are partially or partially powered by a 12-volt socket in the car (cigarette lighter), there are now a wide variety Ways cases through AC plugs. This special pump only runs on a 12V socket in the car. I personally find this a disadvantage as I often want to use the pump indoors, at home, to inflate bike tires. Even when I'm at home, I prefer to use an AC pump, even when inflating car tires, as such a pump can draw up to 180 watts, which puts a strain on the car's charging system. Anyway, I knew what kind of pump it was, and you should too. The 12V pump works fine. As with most pumps these days, you can set a pressure limit and the pump will automatically shut off when it reaches it. You can also set the reading pressure in psi (US standard), bar, kg/cm or kPa. get tired in a few minutes. Inflating a bicycle tire can inflate a tire from a fully flat tire to a fully inflated tire in less than two minutes. The pump heats up during operation (it has a built-in handle so as not to keep the main structure hot), and it is recommended not to use it continuously for more than 7 minutes. This is probably enough time to inflate a car tire from very low pressure to full pressure, ie enough for an emergency. The connection on the pump hose has a threaded connection. This forms a tight seal with the valve stem, but is slower to install than a traditional lever-type valve stem mount. This will allow some air to escape when attaching/detaching. Please note that the pump can draw up to 180W (12V x 15A) when fully operational if you connect the pump to the power rail BEFORE turning it on. , this can cause a power surge that can blow your car's fuse. Instead, you must first connect the pump that is not attached to the tire to your vehicle's system, turn on the pump, THEN attach the pneumatic rod to the tire. And leave your car running when using the pump as it can drain a mediocre car battery pretty quickly when the car is not running. Basketballs and the like and a brief instruction manual. The manufacturer does not include a replacement fuse. The pump has blown (the fuse is in the 12A adapter) and that fuse will probably blow due to the over-voltage. So it's good when manufacturers include a spare part. In addition to pumping equipment, it can be used as a low-intensity LED light. The LED is switched on by a separate toggle switch on the pump housing. I like that the light doesn't come on automatically when the pump is turned on. All in all, this is a decent pump at a decent price. It has no special features and doesn't support AC power, but it will get the job done.
