I am looking for a smaller air compressor capable of producing 115 psi. Stage 2 compressors are too big to haul around. Any ideas?

+1 for viair as you go over 80psi.

For the big dog look at oasis that will produce 200psi continuous and pull 180 amps from your battery to do it.

Many small compressore are capable of 115 psi but lack the volume to produce much air at that pressure. You want volume and pressure but that comes at a cost in bulk and weight. And price.

The Milwaukee M12 inflator will go to 120PSI, but it will take a long time. They also recommend running continuously for more than 10 minutes.

If you are just "topping off" tires that are down 5 or 10 psi and are not in a hurry, it might be for you.

This is the one I use. It has quality fittings and gauges, and quickly goes to 165 psi. It is also light weight, about 35 lbs.

Hi,

My single tank can "do" 115 psi--but even at 85 psi in the tires it simply doesnt work well. I'd love to have a 150 psi compressor--but it has to be small. I don't care about voltage. I do care about price.

For that kind of pressure I'd be looking at compressed air/co2/n2 tanks. Like fj says, to actually inflate a tire to 115 you'll need a lot more pressure, and more volume. Otherwise you'll be there all day.

I use a small Porter-Cable also, but not the round one. I found it too bulky to store easily.

FWIW if you want a small compressor to use up to 115 psi, get one that will go to at least 135 psi. If you get one that goes to 115 psi, you'll play heck getting tires topped up to 110 psi.
