Most I've seen have locking tabs on the hoses which don't screw on but do stay on without being held. (Most air-through valve caps don't have threads on them anyway, but merely a sequence of ring grooves, so screw-on attachments aren't always the most useful anyhow.)
I've never been particularly impressed by the inflators I've used; they're usually noisy and slow and seem poorly built. There may well be exceptions among ones I've not used.
I have a nice little 120V compressor, a Fini AirBoss, for my motorhome and am quite pleased with it. This unit is about the size of a smallish suitcase and seems to be pretty nice for what it costs.

Some here use a gas cylinder (usually CO2) and regulator setup, which might work out well for you.
