Lightweight 115vac, 1-2 gal, 100+ PSI air compressor

[adVentureMan]

I have had it with those 12vdc compressors for RV use. I borrowed a neighbor's Husky brand, 1.5 gal, 135 psi air compressor the other day. He said he got it at Home Depot. Wow! I was impressed. However, tried to find that model online in vain.

What are folks using to top off their truck and trailer tires? I'm talking about adding maybe 3-10 lbs up to about 100 psi.

Specific models are nice if you know them.

Thanks a bunch and Merry Christmas to ya'll.

The Sears model 15309 1.5 gallon 150 psi compressor for $99.00 is a popular choice. It is small/light and will fill my 110 psi tires. Fits in a corner of a storage bay.

I bought a Harbor Freight compressor, about like this one

There's also 92575 and 60637 that seem to be about the same thing.
Budget and space permitting, HF has 67696 on sale $130.

That's not a very good HF sale price. At that price I'd look at Home Depot. They sell a Porter-Cable compressor with those specs along with a 16-gauge brad nailer, bag and safety glasses for around $150.

Our little HF 92575 CAN inflate our RV tires to their sidewall rating of 80PSI but it's a hike. To pick up 5PSI, say 70 to 75, takes a VERY long time even with the regulator two-blocked at 100PSI. But it fits the space we have for it and does many other projects very well. Car tires at 35PSI work wonderfully, and so do any bike tires. We have a boat trailer that calls for 50PSI and I think that's really the comfortable limit for 92575. I just bought HF's combination Tacker/Stapler 18-gauge and it operates that beautifully. Together, those two have given me a very nice Nailer/Compressor combo, with a Compressor that can do more, for around $75 total.

EDIT: Remember, for simply Inflating, you can choose (guess what?) an Inflator. It's basically the Compressor-Only part, no Tank, so you save space.

I bought this one: Porter-Cable and am very happy with it so far. It's not nearly as loud as some of the oilless compressors out there which I like a lot. It builds pressure very quickly and will add air to my 110 psi tires with no issues.

Very quiet. The HD ones are really loud.

My compressor.

I use the 150 PSI one form Sears. Saw it in a different color as a Cable Porter I think at Lowes once. They run $100 the last time I checked. 150 PSI is a good starting point. Even at 1.5 gallon we can pack it out to trailers, mowers and stuff and air up without being plugged in.

12 volts is OK if you have a week to do a 2 minute job.

We have a couple 125 PSI compressors from WM (oil in compressor) that are handly to have at different locations but taking the MH tires to 100 PSI the 150 PSI is NICE.
