Back when we got our rig, the Viair 400 was the choice for portable air if you didn’t travel with a generator.
It’s expensive, and to get the best service it needs to be connected to the truck with the engine running.
Now, most cordless tool manufacturers offer a tire inflator at a fraction of what the Viair costs and it will reach all tires easily.
Most are rated at 120PSI and cost less than $100.
Does anybody have real world experience with these cordless inflators? How many tires will they fill on a standard battery and how long do they take to fill one? Is 110PSI reasonable?
I’m asking because my son-in-law recently picked up nails in two trailer tires on the road and ended up paying an emergency call fee since he couldn’t limp to a tire shop because he didn’t have a compressor. Sounds like a Christmas idea to me.
