Portable Air Compressor

[MADG]

I want something for home that can handle automotive tires, and there seems to be a portability gap. I already have one of those “plug into the cigarette lighter” deals… but it’s more suited to bicycles. (It would take about twenty minutes to get a car tire up to 24psi… 30psi is probably unattainable.)

At the other end of the spectrum (of portability) are the monsters that can cruise at 120psi but that weigh about 150-pounds. (And they call that “portable?”)

I want to split the difference. A MUCH stronger 12V system is one possibility, but I’ll likely have to go with household current. Something that can be tossed into the trunk without throwing one’s back out… say about 40-pounds or less… and that kicks out a good 60-75psi… so you don’t have to wait all day just to top off a tire. (Say, pumping up from 24 to 30psi in a minute.)

Any thoughts?

I have one made by Black and Decker that can fill up seven full-sized truck tires on a single charge. Very small and light. Powerful, too.

LOL - when I saw you had posted on an "air compressor" thread - I erroneously assumed your comment would be one about eating beans and shoving rubber tubes up one's arse -

Sorry for pre-judging you.

Carry on. :)

Strike that.

The one I have isn't the one on the site. It's smaller and only cost about 50 bucks.

Found it. It's called a "cordless inflator" It costs $49.95

MADG,

If you have a power inverter, you can use the "inflator" as a 110 power source. It will run a notebook computer for about 15 hours on one charge, small appliances, such as fans, etc., nothing as heavy as, say, a microwave unless you got up into the higher priced inverters.

You can get a 400 watt inverter for about 40 bucks.

Thanks... I'll look into it. Cost is not the primary concern... I don't need another lightweight.

Most inverters I'm aware of in that price range won't run anything with an induction motor, because their output is nothing like sinusoidal, without regard to the wattage rating.

Yeah, they have inverters for all kinds of purposes at very high watt output.

I only use mine for "emergency" purposes (a light, a fan, a computer) or to power my telescope when I'm outside away from a power source.

It won't light up New York.

Rig it up to run from your battery. I can inflate to 35psi in less then 10 minutes.

Ouch! Doesn't that hurt? Where do you insert the hose?

Drain cleaning kit? Can you elaborate?

Nope. I don't have that model. I would assume it uses "air pressure" to clean out clogged drains? That's just a guess, though.

That's what I was thinking..............I was gonna tell you, if you have a back to back sink or a double (side by side), do NOT use compressed air to unplug it.

A guy used one on campus once and when he went to the room next door he found that the blockage was blown through their sink and was now oozing down their walls.............all four of them

Heh heh. The beauty of knowing how drains work. :)

Now, in a R.V., we have this "black water" drain (which is another word for "the shit") that we have to pull out to drain the crunkies 'n such.

I had a guy cleaning the carpets a couple of months ago and he closed this drain (he needed water for his equipment) and turned on the flush out vent with the poopie drain closed. Well, sir, I go outside and it's all of a sudden "raining." Now, mind you...this is Southern California and granted, there are some difficulties with air quality, but I have never heard of it raining turds here.

Imagine this guy's surprise when I made him clean EVERY single "unit" that fell from the sky. Never seen a guy retch so much in my life.

Shoulda taken a picture of it. It was awesome.

Still I hear "Please, sir...hose me off, please?" LOL

They're the beafiest of the portables I've seen.......hadn't thought about it for camping use though......not bad....my float tube takes forever on one of the cigarette lighter types.....though I've only used it once and got blown across the lake resulting in a five mile hike back with the damn thing...... :P

I dug mine out from under the rig the other day after this thread started and thought "Hey...I should charge that baby."

Guess what? Dead battery and wouldn't recharge...off to Home Depot where they are having a sale on them for $39.95.
