Thanks for that Scotty, I now know which one not to buy.
Where can I buy that visit?
hi Scotty, just wanted to let you know we really love your videos. Question for ya, how do we inquire buying a tire inflator machine. it’s a machine that inflates used tires to determine if they are good, which checks for leaks and bubbles.
My cat fixed my car and changed the tires about 5 times(all four) you should get one like mine
will this fill a hole in the tire?
This dudes voice is crazy! I wish he was my best friend. 🙂
I can attest that plastic crap bounces all over the ground and I ended up holding it in my hand first time I used it, while bent to make sure the hose reached. I just wish the big boys would also use LCD screens where you could set it to cut off at a certain PSI. That’s the only thing I like about the plastic models. TireTek also makes a nice one but I’m not sure what tech it uses inside of it.
I got the basic… its 6 YEARS.. HAVEN’T BREAK on me… never CHANGE THE BRUSH INSIDE OF IT2…… but now I’m grown out of it.. I need more cfm– 4 my bobcat!! ;))
WHY SCREAM! what about the hole in your tire before you blow it up hahaha
I just got one of those ViAir compressors.
Thanks for recommending it.
nothing your cat can do about it I got a chuckle from it..
He is homosexual for talking like that.
The worst compressors are the ones built into the Jump starter packs. I’ve gone through 4 of them, due to the cheap plastic construction. I tried a few different units, but got the same result…..thing grenades and all you can hear is the little motor free spinning inside. The hardest thing I was doing was trying to bring a tire from around 25 psi to 40 psi. Admittedly 1 of the times I let the unit run longer than the 5 min they were limited to. The others they just crapped out after 3 min or so. Might give one of these expensive units a look.
Uh you need to check for leaks first.
I plugged in my new compressor into the cigarette lighter and blew the fuse for the cigarette lighter, should have used the accessory socket which are 20 amps instead of 15 amps. lesson learned!
Drugs are bad for you.
I have the cheap plastic one, haha whenever it brakes down on me I’ll get me the other one.
The negative comments, Viair is a great compressor.
What can you tell me about nitrogen filled tires? Some people tell me it’s not woth the money for such small difference compared to air since it helps retain pressure more than anything else.
Scotty pointed at you 14 times.
I wonder what his wife looks like
I use a spare bicycle pump I have in the trunk, works surprisingly well for 13″ tires.
I have a slime pump that’s metal and hooks up to my battery terminals
I agree that cheap plastic compressors are not meant to last. They are still better than nothing. I would rather have that cheap plastic one than no compressor at all but that one you reviewed does seem like a good one. Many of those small compressors that are not direct drive are gear driven like the Slime branded one, there is no chance that the little motors used in those things would ever work without being geared so low.
brilliant vid, genuine guy…
Thankfully, rarely get flat tires. The last time I had one, I was not lucky enough to find it that way in the driveway. Sometimes these things happen on the road. Even if the pump doesn’t have its own fuse, the sockets often have them. Look in the fuse box for it. I find that if the engine is not running the pump fuse blows easily. That is unfortunate since you only get one or two spare fuses but at least they are very commonly available parts.
As a side question could this be used as a portable air compressor for air tools or is it too small?
Pump?
