You'd better hope that the internal battery is extremely reliable - without it, the unit is useless. Why couldn't B&D include a 12V cigarette adaptor for this situation? For a unit that's supposed to be a piece of emergency gear, this seems like a glaring oversight. Depending on how long the internal battery will remain charged in storage, you might find it lacks the juice to power the unit in an emergency. B&D could have done better here.Ī major gripe I have is that the inflator has no provision for a backup power source. Not a problem for me so far, but keep this in mind if you need a unit with a long reach. You must set the unit very close to the tire for the hose to reach the valve. The maximum length of the air hose is about 2 feet. It's stuffed into a tiny compartment, and you have to really bend the hose in order to get it inside. Keep the clamps clean, and there shouldn't be any issues storing this in a car. I'd prefer to see them stowed in a sealed compartment, but they seem pretty secure. I like the layout of the controls and indicators. Again, not too shabby considering how small this thing is. Total time to bring this nearly-flat tire up to pressure: Just under a half-hour. B&D recommends running the inflator for no more than 10 minutes continuously. The truck tire took a bit longer, as I had to stop the unit to let it cool down.
Took me about 8 minutes to bring the car tire up from 25 PSI to 45 PSI (under the weight of the vehicle). For it's size, it's quite adequate as an emergency air source. Takes awhile to get a tire up to pressure, but's that's normal with these little compressors. I've used the inflator twice to inflate a car and a truck tire. I used it to jump-start a raggedy old farm tractor, and the little box seems to have an impressive amount of cranking power (for short bursts, anyway).
