Portable Tire Inflator

[Rado]

I've got a cheap Chinesium plug-in one my mother-in-law gave me many, many years ago that I keep in the truck all the time.

If I'm going on a longer trip I grab the 20v Dewalt portable pump. It'll air up 4 truck tires from 34psi - 50 psi and 6 (2 spares) trailer tires from the mid 40 psi range to 65 psi on a single battery charge.

I have had the cheapo SLIME models
for years and they work great !

I have the slime plug in, but just use the Ryobi or Ridgid battery operated ones now.

Travel kit consists of Ridgid Impact Wrench, led light, tire inflator and sockets with 2 4AH batteries in a zippered drill/driver case. Also a bottle jack and 18"x18"x 0.5" carbon fiber piece to place on the ground under the jack.

Another thing that's handy to have in a vehicle is a tire plug kit

I have most of that in the door (or did at least) but I think that the plugs have dried out.
That's a nice kit !

Burned up 2 of 3 Slime compressors I can remember.

I have good amount of Ryobi tools so I got this small compressor at first, works great for cars (~36psi) and will get it to 65 but takes a long time

18V ONE+ DUAL FUNCTION INFLATOR/DEFLATOR - RYOBI Tools

then they have a special going on and I stepped up. Faster to 65, and the best part, you set the pressure you want and it shuts off when it hits it. Working with my bro-in-law moving mobile homes, it takes a bit to get to 80 but it will. The only thing is that it has the screw on connector. The other one has the level lock and IMO, is a better setup. After seeing Badger's post, I located a Slime version at AutoZone

I bulked it up with a slightly smaller plug handle and some smaller plugs,as it's a bit big for plugging a small nail hole

I grabbed an ARB plug kit and threw it in a small orange case marked TIRE STUFF and put it under the rear seat. Threw in some extra plugs, some valve caps, got a few more things on the list like a valve stem tool and a valve stem or two.

I like this one because it's smaller than the 30 cal size so it fits in the underseat storage very well.

That makes a lot of sense !

I have my plug kit and compressor along with a 12v jack in a duffel bag,that fits behind the seat of my regular cab,or in the trunk of the cars,depending on which is being used.

Have you been able to use them and see how they work first hand ?
Thanks

I've been using them every week in the summer for the past 5 years,lol.The wife and i drag race the toys,and our local track is 155 miles away,so the jacks get used every week to swap tires at the track on both her Challenger and my truck.I originally bought 1,after using it a couple times,i bought 2 more and 1 is in each of the vehicles.These make tire swaps at the track a piece of cake
I didn't buy the versions with the impact,as they weren't really available when i bought mine,but they claim the impact is good for 420 nm or roughly 310 lb-ft,so it should loosen most wheel nuts pretty easily

I air up and down all 4 tires at the same time with the Jeep and it proved to be too much for my VIAIR 400P portable compressor. In fact, it suffered a catastrophic failure with blown apart valves, a scored piston and a trashed cylinder wall.

So, after some review and research I selected a Morrflate TenSix PSI Pro dual cylinder unit. It will air up all 4 of my tires from 15 pounds to 35 pounds in just a little bit over 4 minutes. I built my own 4-way inflate/deflate system.

Your inflate/deflate system you made is it the hose with a valve ? Thanks

You can never have too many tools
I even use the 12 volt jacks at home,instead of dragging out one of my floor jacks,lol.

I bought one of the cheap chinesium off Amazon a couple years ago for less than $100 on one of them low price offers, Currently unavailable, but I laughed out loud at the description - "Decently Fast". It works fine though, gets my TT tires up to 80 PSI without too much struggle.
