I agree, dewalt is what I use, same batteries as my circular saw, drills and leaf blower. I have a pool so I can inflate all the floaties too plus golf cart tires where you can’t get to air.

And again what’s wrong with Wawa???

Mavis Tires and Brakes across 466A from Pinellas Plaza (east of the 7 Eleven). Pull up under the canopy.

Wawa

I keep one of these in each car. Every few months I plug the battery in for an hour or two to keep the charge fresh. Hope this helps.

18V ONE+ HIGH PRESSURE DIGITAL INFLATOR KIT

OR. This one handles high and low pressure inflating (think air mattresses and pool toys). Make sure you select one that comes with a battery/charger if you are not already in the Ryobi garden. Tool Only will come just with the tool and no way to run it otherwise. I really like that the hose screws onto the valve instead of those that kind of snap onto the valve. This is very secure. Screw hose onto valve, select low or high pressure, select chosen psi, and let it run until it stops at your chosen psi. Remove hose, replace valve cap and you're done!

18V ONE+ DUAL FUNCTION DIGITAL INFLATOR/DEFLATOR

P.S. - There are some GREAT deals today since Home Depot (The exclusive retailer for Ryobi) is having their Memorial Day "Ryobi Days" annual sale.

Costco has free nitrogen. I always have them convert my tires also.

What do you have them convert into? Tracks for snow conditions? Skids for skiing?

I typically just pull into any tire store and ask if they would add air to my tires, I've never had one tell me no. Just did it last week at the Tire Choice store on 466 near Wal-Mart, they were very nice. Told me pull around back and there was a guy there within 1-2 minutes topping me off. Not their tires but very nice.

Do you happen to know if the batteries are interchangeable between other tool brands? I own some DeWalt battery powered tools.

You font color selection is hideous. Thanks for making my eyes bleed.

Hand pump works great for the past 50 years. However, the USB rechargeable I received as a gift is a nice option, and it’s smart, turning off when the desired pressure is reached.

For residential use, a good quality oil less air compressor can be purchased at Lowel’s or Home Depot for under $100.

And the batteries cost more!

A garage version air compressor is electric, not battery like the portable ones mentioned by others in this thread. Below is the frequently used one in our Villages garage. Unfortunately, like everything else the price has doubled since I bought ours a few years ago.

Free Air near The Villages
 
I go to TIRE CHOICE on Wedgewood Lane before you get to Walmart...They will check your tire pressure and fill your tires for free. Drive around the back of the building where they do it.
