Help me decide on a 110 volt tire inflator
looking for an efficient, quiet, and reasonable cost ($50.00) or less 110 volt tire inflator. I forgot to mention, I prefer one that does not dance all over the floor when cycling.

In further researching the different unit which compare closely to the Dewalt DWFP55126 I came across the Bostitch BTFP02012
Bostitch BTFP02012
The specs for both the Dewalt and the Bostitch are very comparable except for a slight noise and price difference, the best prices I was able to find was the Dewalt is $167.99 verses the Bostitch which is $99.99.
Am I missing something here? Please help me make an informed decision as all I will be using it for is the occasional adding air to my vehicles tires (max 80 psi) and blowing sawdust off my shop equipment.
Yeah, you ARE missing "something".
Those are "oil less" compressors which ARE junk, there is no oil lubrication to keep bearings lubricated and cool.
They ARE noisy, run at high speed, will vibrate and hop around, produce very low CFMs so inflating large high pressure tires will take a lot of time, low CFM will give you only seconds of air to "blow off the shop equipment" and worst of all if you use them hard and they won't last for the price.
If you are going to go with an oiless at your price range you may as well buy the cheapest one you can find.
Something from Harbor Freight will fill the bill for half the price..
Can find one HERE regular price is $57 but you can often find them on sale for $39..
