My old compressor's hose burst and it was so cheap I decided to try it. it's just a small box. I can install it in the center console of my truck. I also like that it's more of a digital monitor than an analog needle, it's just easier to use. What I like best is that I can set max compression and then just let go and it will stop once fully inflated. That means I don't have to sit all the time and watch every tire. The light is also quite bright.
