Hook this up to one of my quiet air compressors with 1 gallon long hose that allows me to inflate/deflate tires all season. This works well with car and bike tires, with the caveat that a little force is required before you get a good enough seal to prevent air leakage. The display is adequate in garage conditions but may not be bright enough. for outdoor installation - that was no problem for me. The only thing I would like to say about this inflator is that you have to be very careful when inflating it or you will lose quite a bit of tire pressure if you remove it. This is most noticeable in bicycle tires, where the pressure loss per second in these tiny tires can make a difference of 10-15 psi. Overall the blower works well and I use it in my spare tire compressor.
