The Palm-sized Portable Air Compressor: A Must-have for Your Car

70

By Andy Xie

...The Dilemma

You're stuck on the road. Or you're stuck on the driveway. Or you're stuck anywhere, with a flat tire. You don't have a spare tire, but even if you did, you wouldn't know how to change it. To make matters worse, you're late for work, you're late for a career-crucial interview, you're late for a meeting with an important client, you're late for a date, you're late for anything. And you don't have a lot of time. What do you do?

You take out your portable air compressor in your car and inflate your tires quickly and easily.

Oh, wait, you don't have a portable air compressor!

...which is exactly why you should get one.

 

...The Solution: The Airman 12V Air Compressor

I recommend the the Airman 12 Volt Air Compressor because it's portable and compact, it's easy to use, it's inexpensive and it works great.

Having a portable air compressor will save you trouble. It will save you time. It'll save you worries.

To work its magic, you plug it into the cigarette lighter socket of your car.

It's great for the car, the trailor, the bikes and motorcycles, the sports equipment, the inflatable rafts, as well as smaller things like the balloons for parties.

It weighs just over a pound and is small enough to hold with one hand, and can easily fit into your trunk, glove box, or back pack. You can also keep it in your garage with the bikes so you can inflate the bike tires whenever you want.

Keeping one in the car is a great idea, especially for those cold and icy winter days.

  • Having a portable air compressor is much more convenient than carrying around a spare tire
  • Even if you do have a spare tire, it's no use if you don't know how to change it! A portable air compressor is easier to use.
  • It'll give you a peace of mind when you drive
  • A portable air compressor can save you from needing to call a tow truck if you have a flat tire - which of course, saves you money too
  • It has other purposes too, like inflating bike tires, which is great for trips, events, etc.

The Airman 12V Air Compressor is great and a real lifesaver. I've used it many, many times and has saved me so much trouble.

Features

  • 12 Volt
  • 150 PSI
  • Comes with a 11.5 ft power cord, a built-in pressure gauge, ball and balloon adaptors, and instruction manual
  • Portable, lightweight, compact

The Airman Everyday Compact 12V Air Compressor typically sells for twenty dollars or less. You'll find so many uses for a portable air compressor. It is definitely worth the money and will pay for itself over time.
