VIAIR75P Portable Compressor Kit Sport Compact Series 12V 60 PSI

Produit de qualité bien supérieure à tout ce que j'ai vu auparavant.

My sports car came with "summer tires," designed for 3-season, above 50°F weather. So I switch to "winter tires" when it gets cold. Naturally, the tires that are NOT on the car lose a few pounds of air during the months they sit in a friend's garage 50 miles from where I live (I live in an apartment in NYC, so I have no garage and no place to store tires, tools, etc.).So… I needed a pump for one, specific purpose: to simply add a few pounds of air to the tires that have been off the car. And I needed a pump that doesn't require batteries, as any battery pack would be run down the two times a year I needed to use it. The VIAIR 75 Portable Compressor is perfect for my purposes! It plugs into my car's AC jack, so it doesn't require any kind of battery, plus it's rather small. Almost small enough to carry in my Miata's little trunk (but I have an even smaller, traditional bicycle pump for that). So the VIAIR 75 sits in my friend's garage just waiting for the two times a year I need it to top up four tires. It's well made and does its job. I recommend it.

One of very few compressor pumps that can run off the Subaru's infuriating 12 volt 120 watt accessory power outlet, drawing only 10 amps. Most pumps draw 12-15 amps and that would blow the fuse in a Subaru. This one operates within the Subaru's limit of 10 amps.Pump works well and the max working pressure of 50 PSI can also inflate my bicycle tires. Very quiet pump. Designed in the USA, but built in China. So far the quick release lever has held up (I've been using this for about a year, although not with great frequency.) Gauge readings are mostly in line with my other pressure gauge. Hose is short but the supple rubber sleeve makes it easy to maneuver.If you have a Subaru just get this, it's your best option for an accessory-outlet-powered pump.

It's always good to keep your tires topped off and going to the gas station to do it is annoying. They should give it for free with gas purchase, but they sometimes feign ignorance or its broken or you just don't wanna deal with asking but the price is like $2 for 30 seconds worth so you have to speed around your car with utmost efficiency like you're doing a F1 pitstop.This is a solid and easy-to-use little pump that comes in a kinda neat little tin/container and does exactly what you need it to. For most cars, where you generally want to get up to 40-50 PSI at most, it suffices just fine. (For very large vehicles that can be >50 PSI, you need to get the bigger ones but make sure you have an outlet that supports the amperage.)Finally, it's an actual, reputable brand for this sort of thing. I know you're probably tempted by all the other stuff on Amazon that's half the price from these random brand names you've never heard of. But most of the time those things are junk. Sometimes they're just a tiny, underpowered compressor surrounded by a big plastic shell with a bunch of empty space just to make it look more powerful (has happened to me). Other times the pressure gauge is faulty and miscalibrated so you need to buy a separate pressure gauge anyways. Save yourself the hassle and just get the VIAIR.

In the past, I've used the Husky 12 V Tire Inflator on several occassions. Compared to that, this is more efficient and fast with less wattage. I don't like how it looks but it performs pretty well, so I am happy. Viair are pretty open with their performance and test data and I like the fact that they make different inflators for different tires/cars. This one suits my car abd tires perfectly since my car's recommended wattage on my accessory power outlets is 120 W. Most other passengar car tire inflators will have spec of either 180+ W, and therefore they issue warnings one of which is to be mindful of how long to run and all. But Viair has a variety of them, go to the website and they also have a guide on to choose.
