I haven't had to use it much, but I am impressed with it.
Very quiet, and fast. Other good things too. Will follow up later as work is calling.
Just looked at the Viair... NICE unit.

As promised, some more info on mine.
Pepboys has them 50% every so often. I only paid 20.00 for it. It has a standard air chuck fitting which is unusual for a 12V
unit. This allows you to use any regular air hose.
It comes with a 15' hose. I went to harbor Freight and got a 25' coiled hose and two female fittings for it. With this setup, I can reach any tire on my rig (coupled with the volt power cord) and use any air tool I want such as a standard air chuck, long dually chuck etc.
Pepboys also has another model up of the same brand that is much more powerful, but it uses the alligator battery attachments as it draws more amps than the lighter plugs can supply.
It gets good reviews as well. Costs about twice as much.

Best of all. Both are made in the USA.
