  • Gets hot, but works great!
The first one we got had a crimped hose, but Amazon quickly and easily replaced the item. The pump works great. Inflates from 20 PSI to 37 PSI fairly quickly compared to what others are using. But it gets HOT. When we are done inflating we don't put it back in the bag immediately. Also the bag that it comes with is a very thin, light weight. We ended up getting a different bag that holds the pump and a few other items so it is all in one place. Overall I am very happy with this pump and have even used it to inflate giant pool toys and my bike tires. ... show more

  • Good standalone compressor or for onboard air
The media could not be loaded. Comparing this to my Wolo 860 compressor for my onboard air system, this Smittybilt is really good quality. I've only had this compressor for about a week but it is quieter and quite a bit faster to pressurize my tank. To be fair the Wolo is only 3.5 CFM and I think the Smittybilt is a little over 5 CFM. My only complaint with the Smittybilt is that it uses a metric air chuck and metric pipe fittings instead of NPT fittings that you would find here in the States. That said it's not hard to find a M12 x 1.25 F to 1/4NPT M fitting on Amazon to convert to our standard here. I had to do this to adapt to my current onboard air system but otherwise have no complaints so far. Again the pump is very quiet and quick to fill up my tank. I have a 5 gallon tank and it only takes 2 or 3 mins to fill to 100psi now verses 8-10 mins with the Wolo. ... show more

  • works really well and fast
I used to go to the gas station to fill up my tires with air. This air compressor is stronger/faster than those and I finish faster. I would recommend getting some accessories so you do not need to screw in the hose every time (saving a few minutes). The only drawbacks are that it is a little heavy and loud. This can't be helped since it is so powerful. ... show more

  • Good for heavy-duty inflation jobs, and it looks good, too
[UPDATE 8/19/2013 Two days ago as I attempted to fill a bicycle tire with a sticky valve, one of the two center prongs inside the nozzle broke--these are supposed to depress the valve needle. With only one prong left, the nozzle is ineffective so I have been using the nozzle and hose assembly from my old compressor as a substitute.] Pluses: fast inflation times up to 40 lbs/sq.in.; circuit breaker with switch, carrying case; (3) inflation attachments; continuous duty-cycle allowed when pressure is 40 lbs/sq.in; and long inflation hose; Minuses: the tire inflation rate decreases substantially above 40 lbs; placement of the on/off switch under the fixed hose coupler (which becomes very hot); it uses more battery power than a compressor I used previously; and it is larger and heavier than other battery-powered compressors on the market. Whenever you compress air, the main by-product is heat--with small compressors, noise seems to be a close second by-product. This compressor is relatively high-capacity for a 12-volt DC model and it generates much heat. Since the carrying handle also functions as a heat shield for the compressed air outlet tube, it can get very hot to the touch during extended runs. So, I recommend you keep a rag close by to wrap around the heat shield/handle any time you need to move it around after more than a few minutes of service. Likewise, wait before you de-couple the flexible length of hose--this hose fitting also gets quite hot. This Smittybilt model runs somewhat quieter than the 2.3 cu.ft./min Q-Industries compressor that I used to use, and I don't have to remove the intake filter before storing it in the carry case like I did for the "Q". Another positive: the compressor flexible hose inline pressure gauge appears to measure within a pound, maybe two, of my standalone Viair dial gauge. Initial experience: My tires are 275/65-18R metric (32.1x10.8-18 Standard); the maximum inflation pressure is 80 lbs/sq.in. Inflation times between my tires was not consistent between them due to poor inflation nozzle sealing with valve stems on two of the four tires. Here's my data from three different inflation events: 1) 18-19 lbs up to 45 lbs: 2 min to 2 min 45 seconds per tire (9 min 30 seconds total running time); 2) 18-19 lbs up to 66-68 lbs: 6 min to 6 min 30 seconds per tire (25 minutes total running time); 3) 18-19 lbs up to 72 lbs: ~26 minutes; Other observations: during the longer compressor running times, the circuit breaker never activated. That stands in contrast to my old Q-Industries compressor, which could inflate all (4) tires from 16-18 lbs to 55 lbs each in about 20 minutes total, but the compressor used to overheat periodically (which is why I eventually replaced the fuse with a circuit breaker). If you intend to inflate all (4) tires, then make sure you run the vehicle engine per the owner's manual recommendation. Inflating all (4) during one of the above events drained my truck battery so much that it could not turn the starter; admittedly, I had operated the compressor on truck battery power only during the previous day, but then I failed to drive long/far-enough to recharge it completely afterwards. ... show more

  • Great !!!
Will air a tire up very quickly. Extremely easy to use and operate. Comes in a nice carrying case.

  • Very dependable and inflates quickly
This air compressor is very dependable and inflates quickly and I would definitely buy it again. But...... It does have a few negatives. 1) It gets very hot very quickly. 2) much heavier than most compressors. 3) does not use standard fittings. 4) gauge they give you is not the greatest quality. Overall, I would definitely purchase this product again despite the negatives. I strongly recommend purchasing the following with this compressor: JACO Lightning S2X Tire Inflator Hose Extension Self Locking Nozzle | Patented Lock-on Air Hose Adapter for Tire Pumps (Open Flow) ... show more

  • Great value for the money
Great pump. It's heavy, and gets HOT, but it should be expected. You can get something smaller if you have SMALLER than 33" tires, but 33's and above you should be using a pump like this when relying on a portable pump for off road. A couple of quick notes to new buyers. 1 - If possible, keep your vehicle running. It'll provide a lot more power for the pump to draw off of, and will work much better (and cooler) 2 - Be CAREFUL after it's been running for a bit. It gets hot enough to burn you if you're not careful. 3 - Turn the pump on BEFORE connecting it to your tire. Says it right there in the manual, and takes stress off the pump when connecting it. 4 - We were able to fill up 6 and a half 35" tires back to back (not turning it off) before it tripped the overheat protection. It took about 10 minutes for it too cool down enough to resume, but it was impressive considering how long it was running. 5 - There are a number of pumps that are identical to this, but are branded differently. One such pump (won't mention the name, but it's red) is both less expensive, and has a uncoiled/straight hose rather than the coiled hose which comes with the smittybilt. I'd opt for that one instead, as the hose is just easier to manage. Regardless, both are great pumps. It's a fantastic pump. I've had a previous one for a couple of years, and recently gifted it to my daughter for her own off-road rig. ... show more
