Need Recomendations For 120V Tire Pump

[MartyMoose]

My small Craftsman portable air compressor is finally about shot after 15 years. Looking for quality high pressure pump for my auto and trailer ( 110psi) tires.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

I did the same thing. Mine sits in the middle of the storage compartment. Purchased a 50' rubber hose and can reach all the tires on the trailer and truck with the hose.

Amazon just had the Viair 300P for $95.00 and free shipping. I picked one up at that price, but now I see they are $124.95. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I like the 150 PSI working pressure for my Goodyear G614's on the fiver.

Seeing as how you mentioned quality, go to the Viair site and pick your poison. The rep told me to go one over what your tire specs are. They suggested the 300P for my 31" tires.

Picked up an extension hose for it as it hooks directly to the vehicle battery.

Sorry Marty, just noticed you were looking for a 120v.

I just picked up a 450P from Viair on their recommendation. Used it for the first time topping up my camper tires (125psi) and truck tires (65 and 70 psi). I have absolutely no complaints other than the inflator gauge that came with it inconsistently reads 5-10psi higher than the tire actually is. It just means that I have to double-check the tire periodically with my digital gauge.

Plus, it's less weight and less room than my previous Porter Cable 3gallon pancake compressor.

Get a Porter cable 6 gal 150 psi and you can use it for your air tools as well. Lots of RVers on here use it for their 110 psi rated tires.Mine is 10 yrs old.

This time of year, Lowes and Home Depot have pancake compressors on sale pretty cheap. I have a 135PSI Porter Cable that works great. They usually have it and the 150PSI version on sale for under a hundred dollars.

Lots of previous posts on this subject if you put `air compressor' into the search box. To minimize the results you can then search the results for a particular brand name like `craftsman' etc.

Any single stage compressor will be rated around 120 PSI and it's tank close to 135 pounds working pressure. 2 stage compressors are normally rated at 175 PSI with a 200# rated tank, but also normal 2 stage compressors are mounted to a 80 gallon tank! I have not seen less than a 3 HP 220 volt 2 stage air compressor. It would be nice if someone made a compact 135 PSI rated 2 stage compressor, but I have not found one yet. ..
