A Great Pump for Tire Pressure

[WoodyWoodchuck]

I have the Super Flow MV-50 portable compressor. It goes under many brand names but the important part is the MV-50. I use it to inflate my Jeep Cherokee tires after surf fishing and off road beach camping. It will inflate a 255/70/R15 from 15 psi to 40 psi in less than a minute. It connects directly to the battery and the vehicle needs to be running, it uses quite a bit of power. Yeah, it might not be as silent as the one mentioned but it takes longer to hook it up than to actually inflate the tire.

Mine is several years old, bought it at $30 or so and I see they are now $70. No problems with it but it looks like it is cheaply made and I am pretty careful with it. I don’t mean the unit itself but parts like the air filter are soft plastic and seem like they would break easily.

Finally took the plunge and got the Bon-Aire BA121L 120V Air Compressor/Inflater:

I'm sorry that I waited so long! It is so much better than my old Black and Decker. The best part is that the nozzle actually locks tight around the air intake on the tires. With a great seal and power of this thing, I went from 43 to 50 psi on all four tires and 42 to 60 on the spare in 12 minutes.

It was a little pricey at $53, but I spent my birthday money on it and I'm glad I did!
