Air compressor

Quick question what do you carry for a air compressor to air up to 80psi my old trusty inflator 12volt worked fine on the 65psi tires but struggles and shuts down around 72psi looking for a new one, tried a small pancake can't get them up above 75 looking for something to carry along that's not to big.

    I use an ARB twin mounted in a case. I can use it to inflate any of my tires as well as run an impact to change the tires. It runs on 12 volts.

    Harbor freight 12v the expensive one 29.00 LOL . I mainly use it on our air ride pinbox. I did test is on our truck tire 80psi and it worked. I always check my tires before we leave and use big compressor at home.

    I cover/cable lock this guy in the back of my truck: 6 gal compressor . I found it really handy for cleaning things,inflating toys, blowing out the water lines, as well as inflating tires. Its light and all the vulnerable components are tucked away which prevents bump damage.

    I have a 6 gallon, 150 psi Porter Cable pancake type that I bought at Lowe's about 3 years ago. Works really great. It's light weight and fits easily in my front basement. Hope this helps.

    I use a 1 gal pancake tank compressor I purchased at WalMart for $55. It will produce pressures up to 120psi.

    135 PSI pancake compressor from Lowes a couple of years on sale for 80 dollars. I was so happy with it, I gave my big compressor away.

    I have a Craftsman 125 psi, 3 gallon. Very small, portable and works nicely.

    I got a craftsman which does real good on pumping up my tires to 80psi....think it is rated to go to 120psi so plenty of air to get the job done
