I already had one that plugged into the cigarette lighter. It's a little faster than this one, but this new one is my new pick. The main thing is that it should be compact and powered by a battery. I don't have to run a cable to top up the tires when changing the oil and it's very easy to store, even fitting in the glove box. I charged it to 100% and then filled four tires at 28-29psi and a compact spare at 8-60psi. I was down to 65% capacity which I think is great. I won't use this to inflate empty tires, I just adjust tire pressure for oil changes and tire change times or maybe for a long trip. Connection. You have to be careful not to mix up the threads, it can easily happen if you're not careful. A gauge on either of these types is not very accurate, but is fairly reproducible. So still use your gauge to determine the correct fill point. I had 30 to get 29 pounds and about 57 to get 60. Definitely better than running the compressor and stretching the air line just to fill up. Definitely two thumbs up from me.
