Does the job but is slow

This tool is very handy. I've had a Coleman compressor for 10 years and have never bothered to keep the rear wheels within reach of the compressor hose and/or power cord. This little gadget definitely solves that problem. But there are downsides too: First, adding a few pounds of pressure is a lot slower. What used to take seconds (after the compressor builds internal pressure, which takes a minute) now takes minutes per tire. To make matters worse, the hose that comes with the pump is not very long. So if the tire is closer to the top of the tire, you'll need to hold the pump, find something higher to attach it to, or leave it hanging. hopefully nothing gets damaged. The accuracy of the pressure that the pump shows is not very accurate. When I set it at 42 pounds it often stops when the actual pressure is closer to 38. In other cases, however, the actual pressure corresponds to the set pressure. I would prefer to have either one or the other because I always have to either let the air out or add something. In general I am very satisfied. Its battery has more than enough juice to add a few pounds to 4 tires. Maybe twice as much. And it's not very loud - probably no louder than my Coleman when it got close to printing. Best of all, I can keep it in the glove compartment in case of an emergency (it doubles as a flashlight). I was tempted to give it 4 stars but the short hose is a really annoying flaw in my opinion.

Pros
