Goodyear i7000 12-Volt Direct Drive Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator

Goodyear i7000 12-Volt Direct Drive Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator
  • High pressure 12 Volt portable inflator
  • Heavy duty with fast air delivery at 30 liters per minute
  • Max PSI output 130
  • Inflates P185/R14 from 0 – 28 PSI in approximately 2 1/2 minutes or less
  • Inflates all vehicle tires from cars to RVs, to SUVs, to trucks and more

I've owned two other tire inflators: both Craftsman. Both were as loud as a jackhammer and caused a massive racket when in use. And they were quite slow in inflating my car tires so the racket went on for longer than I desired. The primary features I wanted in a new unit was low noise output and an ability to inflate my 20" SUV tires. Wow! does this unit deliver! I plugged it in one of my car power outlets and turned it on in my enclosed garage. I know the noise was not noticeable to my townhouse neighbors. And the inflation is much faster: with my Craftsman, I would settle in for the wait to inflate 5psi, turn on the radio and check the gauge every few minutes. With this one, I had to watch the gauge closely to ensure I did not over-inflate within 1 minute. (According to the claim on the box, it will inflate a 14" tire from 0-28psi in under 2:30 seconds.)

What you get:

* 16-ft PVC air hose w/ quick connect cabling (much like most Craftsman air compressors);

* 10-ft power cord with a 15 amp fuse (this length, plus that of the air hose, should be plenty long enough for most folks);

* Built-in analog pressure gauge (above 30 psi, it displays 2psi increments up to 150psi);

* 4 LED lights built into the inflator (the lamp has a separate on/off switch from the inflator)

* Four inflation adaptors for toys, balls, rafts, etc.

The box also includes 2 replacement 12v fuses. I can't speak to longevity as I've not put it through any wear-and-tear but since it's a direct drive motor, fewer moving parts would imply that it should last longer than other gear driven models. The whole thing fits nicely in a carrying bag that can easily fit behind any car seat (it's about the size of an adult's soft lunchbox). Time will tell whether Goodyear was wise in allowing its name used on this model but so far, so good. Highly recommend.

I am upgrading from a cheap unit that was slow and noisy. After researching a number of air compressors online, I decided to purchase this unit. Just received it and tried it out. I am really pleased by this unit:

Incredibly quite and stable -it won't jump around like my previous unit;

Quick inflation -I tried to top off on my 31" truck tire. I did not time it, but I can see the needle moving at 33 psi. For bicycle tires, it takes only seconds;

Reasonable power draw -it did not blow the fuse on my 04 4Runner, and I don't have problem starting the truck after testing the unit without engine running to fill 3 bicycles and top off a truck tire;

Accurate gauge -I tested it against my other tire gauge and the readings are practically the same at 33 psi;

Quality construction. The chuck connector works much more reliably than the quick connector in my previous cheap unit. It loses a bit of air upon disconnect but can be easily compensated.

For an upcoming 3-week camping vacation I wanted a reliable compressor so that I could maintain the correct tire pressure for the tires on the pop-up camper. Camper tires will heat and fail (blow) if the pressure is too low. Our camper tires require 50 psi. I chose this compressor because it appeared to be heavier duty than the "cheaper" (below $20) varieties found at the discount stores. After 3 weeks and 5,000 miles, no blow-outs. Plus, we also had a truck tire with a slow leak and I was able to maintain good pressure in that tire without having to rely upon service station inflation vending machines. In summary, I believe this product is a useful tool and a good value.

As many others have said, this compressor uses more current than the average cigarette lighter socket can handle. However, with proper fusing, it works as advertised, is fairy quiet and inflates tires quickly. Unfortunately, after an estimated total of 45 minutes of intermittent use on my sedan, the pump's connecting rod bearing shaft broke away from the counterbalance and the unit is now useless. The failure occured at 32 P.S.I. while inflating a tire.

This is a great little compressor, Small enough to keep in my truck, but powerful enough to top off my tires to 65psi in just a couple minutes.

The flashlight is a bit gimicky, but it could be useful in some situations. The switch for the light is separate from the compressor switch so you don't need to turn it on unless needed.

The power cord and air line are plenty long enough to comfortably reach all 4 tires on my full size, extended cab truck (as long as I came out a door on the side I was inflating), yet short enough to be easily manageable. The air chuck screws onto the tire valve so you don't have to hold it on while inflating, and the auto-coiling air line tucks into the provided carry bag easily.

I was very impressed with both how quiet and cool it ran. Even inflating to 65psi it didn't struggle, or even warm up.

It might be a bit of overkill for passenger car tires (~32psi), but it's great for truck/SUV tires.

Factory-Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld FP209000RB 2 Gallon Oil-Free Hand Carry Air Compressor

Factory-Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld FP209000RB 2 Gallon Oil-Free Hand Carry Air Compressor
  • Oil Free Pump
  • Easy to Read Gauges
  • Retractable Handle
  • Quiet running motor
  • High quality, one piece manifold

Like the title states, the hose and all peripherals will need to be replaced the day you want to start using the compressor. They are made really cheaply and do not work like they should.

This has worked well as a small, portable compressor. It takes a while to charge the tank because it's a small pump. I've used it at work for blowing out VFD's. It's easy to carry on the truck. I don't expect it would be good for pumping up tires.

Returned immediately. Would not reach 100 psi. VERY small capacity. May pump up bicycle tires, but took 15 minutes to pump 1/2 ton pickup tire from 32 psi to 38 psi. I plugged in a 12v emergency bicycle compressor into the cigarette lighter and it pumped up the tire in 4 minutes.

I too, like the other reviewer here, got this as a Christmas gift for my husband. He really loved it and has found many many uses for it.

I got this for my husband for Christmas this last year, and he absolutely loves it!

AIRCAT 1150 1/2-Inch Killer Torque Impact Wrench, Black

AIRCAT 1150 1/2-Inch Killer Torque  Impact Wrench, Black
  • sheer power and performance of 1,295 Feet-pounds (ft-lb) of loosening torque
  • 1,400 Blows Per Minute makes this the strongest hard hitting Twin Hammer 1/2 Impact Wrench on the market
  • 15-Percent larger rotor creates unmatched power
  • Patented quiet technology at 86 decibels
  • 2 year parts and labor warranty

I just finished removing two tractor transmissions, including wheel lugs, axle bolts, and mounts. I must say this thing is so powerful, it's a bit startling at first because the trigger is very sensitive. Quick summary... Very powerful, quiet, and fast, overall great quality, no issues whatsoever, and most important... THIS IMPACT WRENCH RUNS PERFECTLY, EVEN WITH MY PORTABLE LITTLE 5 GALLON NAIL GUN AIR COMPRESSOR !!! NO NEED FOR A MONSTER, HIGH VOLUME AIR COMPRESSOR !!! This thing works well even with the regulator set from 60 to 80 psig. It will even take the lug nuts off my super duty van using the little compressor. One caution...Be careful of your fingers when holding back the other side of a bolt with a wrench...you can crush you fingers !

Got this for my husband who has all sorts of tools. He was really impressed with the power of this tool. We don't know much about the company but he's purchased their grinder in the past and he was sold on it so I thought I'd give this tool a try for him. He loves it and says it's everything it says it is, powerful, lighter than is (X) brand and comfortable. He called the aircat customer service for some questions he had and said they were very helpful. Hubby says great tool and would buy from them again.

I do a lot of research before buying my tools, I read reviews and forums all over the internet, and the comments for this gun were better than IR, Snap On, etc. so I decided to buy it considering power, durability, design and price. When I received the gun I made the first test, in which I tightened the lug nuts of my jeep with a cross wrench using the whole weight of my body (220 lbs) until the nuts no longer squeaked and the vehicle started to shake, I plugged the gun to a 3/8 50ft hose at 100 psi using a portable 16 gallon compressor, plugged the 3/4 deep socket, pointed the gun... pulled the trigger fast 1-2-3 and done !! the nut was loose in less than 2 seconds !!... I doubt that I'll find in my jeep any other nut or bolt as tight as this, even if I do I think this gun will turn them loose in a couple more seconds than my lug nuts, but in the end it will do the job. In summary, this gun will be one of my favorite tools, you can't go wrong with this one, it's definitely the best deal you can get for a good quality gun with lots of torque, this gun will pay itself in a couple of projects.

Purchased wrench as a Christmas gift for my son. My husband is the type to research, research, research before buying anything (a good trait) and found this product lived up to its hype. Our son was estatic when opening his present and has used more than can count since the holidays. My husband is tempted to buy one for himself to upgrade from the torque wrench he has.

Hello, I am a "B" auto technician, and I owned a Snap-On MG725 for about 3-4 years and it started to give up on me. Rather than get it rebuilt by Snap-On and pay all that money. I decided to try this "Aircat 1150" in a pinch to keep me working. I must say:

Pros

1. It's just as powerful if not more powerful than the $460 dollar Snap-On.

2. They have a 2 year warranty and they sell tune up kits "YOU" can rebuild yourself.

3. It's quiet, to me noise does not bother me, but for others it's a very quiet impact gun.

4. It's not a very heavy gun.

Con

5. This one is a con of the gun compared to the Snap-On MG725. The 1150 anvil where the socket goes on, the snap ring on the anvil does not hold onto the socket very well, it's just the way it's made. The MG725 the snap ring will wear out, but it will not let your socket go easily.

I must say, I think I'll just keep my Snap-On now as a spare, and make this my main gun.

I use this compressor to air up tires on all our vehicles, motorcycles, and zero turn mower. It airs up the 20" tires on my large SUV (Mercedes GL450) in under a minute each. I have no doubt it'll effortlessly run air tools for the do-it-yourself home improvement types. Oil free and comes with all the basics needed to air up balls, tires, etc. A great machine for the money.

Legacy Manufacturing L8335 Levelwind Retractable Air Or Water Hose Reel with 1/2" ID x 50' Hose

Legacy Manufacturing L8335 Levelwind Retractable Air Or Water Hose Reel with 1/2' ID x 50' Hose
  • Adjustable hose stopper
  • Seven position locking bracket
  • Latching mode switch
  • Free standing base
  • Maximum working pressure: 300 pounds per square inch

This auto reeler works great. My wife always complained about how heavy the hose was to drag around the yard. I found this online and thought we would give it a try. It is great. It keeps the hose off the yard and neatly wound on the reel. My only compaint would be that it takes a little effort to pull the hose out of the reel. It goes back in great; maybe that's why it takes a little extra pulling to pull it out!! For us it has been well worth the money spent.

Nice unit. Have had one for 5 years now, still works fine.

I like the part of the reel that moves the hose back and forth horizontally to retract better.

I bought a few more for our detail shop. They like them. no more hoses laying on the floor.

I have two of these units the ½ and the 3/8. The 3/8 works fine. This unit has given me problems from the start. The issue is that the hose has difficulty rolling back into the unit. The guide is no help. This is especially true when the unit is cool, but is an issue even when warm. The result is that it is very difficult to get the hose to roll completely into the reel. I expected more from a unit that cost this much.

General Tool 836 Angle-izer

General Tool 836 Angle-izer
  • Tough plastic design won't bend or rust
  • Ideal for tile, paving, carpentry
  • Free instruction CD

I wish I had this when I was just doing a kitchen floor that had a lot of weird angles. This is a great little inexpensive way to measure the angles and get them cut correctly. I guess the pros must all have these, but I'm a weekend warrior with these projects, so sometimes I'm not aware of every tool out there.

With this tool you can get a "template" sort of for every cut you have to make. It really works well. It's not expensive and it will pay for itself by saving you from having to throw away incorrectly measured cuts. If you have to do any sort of flooring or any odd angle cutting, you'll love this thing.

I used this for laying out window sills. The angle of the corner of the wall window opening is never 90 degrees and usually varies widely from window to window (depending on quality of framing and drywall finishing). So each window sill ends up being a custom fit.

With this tool, I can establish the angle, lock it down, then transfer it over to the sill. Zip it out with a saber saw and finish (route edges, sand, stain, etc). Done!

Good deal!

VIAIR Heavy Duty Onboard Air System

VIAIR Heavy Duty Onboard Air System
  • Intended for inflation of tires up to 35 inch and mounting on vehicle
  • Includes all parts needed for installation and tire maintenance and use with compatible pneumatic tools
  • 150 PSI maximum working pressure
  • Remote mount air filter assembly sealed compressor
  • 33 percent duty cycle and 2.54 CFM maximum flow

I just finished installing my Onboard Air and love this setup. It took me a couple of days to get it installed since I had to make custom brackets to install the Air Compressor in my tool box. I also ran an extra kill switch that Viair recommended to kill the A/C in case there was a leak in the system. This took a few more wires and a 40 amp switch.

It's awesome. The only thing is that it doesn't go to 150psi it stops at 147psi. But I'm ok with that. I would recommend it

Speedway 8550 8-Gallon Air Compressor

Speedway 8550 8-Gallon Air Compressor
  • 8 gallon tank; Solid cast iron cylinder/durable steel air intake filter
  • 15.5 amps; 1.5 HP; 3360 RPMs
  • 115 PSI; 5 CFM @ 90 PSI and 6 CFM @ 40 PSI
  • Cold start, twin capacity induction motor w/thermal overload protection

The compressor works well but not as described.

The good:

the compressor works like it should.

Pumps up and holds pressure.

Not so good:

The quick connect value leaks unless a male fitting is connected.

The shroud was broken and really lousy packaging ( almost destroyed packaging in shipping).

No hose or accessories included with the compressor as stated in description.

But after installing my hose and fitting it works fairly well. I could have brought this from harbor freight for less money ( live and learn )

The product description on Amazon said

Product Description

8550 Features: -Air compressor. -Provides with the power you need to complete your jobs. -High-efficiency, cold start twin capacitor induction motor with thermal overload protection. -Two oversized 5'' wheels. -AV grip handle design allow this compressor to be easily transported. -Solid cast iron cylinder. -Durable steel air intake filter. -Air regulator, quick coupler and 300'' hose are included. Specifications: -15.5 Amps / 1.5 HP / 3360 RPMs. -Generates 6 CFM @ 40 PSI and 5 CFM @ 90 PSI. -Maximum PSI: 115 PSI. -Tank capacity: 8 Gallons. -Dimensions: 26.78'' H x 11.81'' W x 26.38'' D.

However, no hose was include. Nor was it mentioned on the package, so it is a seller problem, not manufacturer. So far, I do not see a way to contact the seller about this, so I may just have to challenge the credit card charge. I think I should be reimbursed the cost of the hose I purchased.

Other than that, works as advertised.

I am very unhappy with it. First time my order was sent to a wrong address. When I finally got it was damaged with missing parts. I've return it. After that I've got my order and the box was all wet. The oil bottle broke and and all the oil liked out inside of the box. The description says 5 CFM @ 90 PCI. That is what I was actually looking for, but after getting the unit I've realized that it says 3.8 CFM @ 90 PCI on the label of unit. Total mislead of description. Should I send it back again?

Want Speedway 8550 8-Gallon Air Compressor Discount?

I ordered the 8850, but the one I recieved was model 38468. The description says 5 CFM @90, but the 38468 model has less CFM than that. The description says there is a hose. Mine did not come with a hose. I sent back the model back and told amazon customer service said they would investigate issue. I reordered and still got the same model 38648, but this one had 4.4 CFM @ 90 on the label. What I need amazon to do is fix the description, or ship by model 8550 with the advertised 5 CFM @ 90. It feels like someone has been deceitfull in this whole process, like they are selling other models than 8850. Am I missing something here??? I haven't got to the point of using the equipment...

I have now received two of these compressors, both with the regulator snapped off. I don't know if the actual compressor is any good since I can't seem to get one that isn't damaged on arrival. I'm going to find another compressor and hope to find better luck.
