    The HF compressor is 120.00 now BUT only has a 90 day warranty so you have to pay more for a longer one.
    The Vlair 88 is (maybe, has iffy ratings on Amazon) good but doesn't have a long 12 volt cable and doesn't use regular air components and has the stupid coiled air hose.
    What I really hate about compressors made these is that they all made in China.

    Did this turn out for you?

    I am looking to do the same thing. I do not care to add any alligator clips to my battery when I can plug right into the bed.

    Anyone running this?

    [​IMG] Seems to have good reviews on the HF site. Also seems like it runs well on the 20V battery. Seen a bunch of YouTube videos and looks like it works well! No need to pop hood and attach to battery which saves a minute bit of trouble lol.

    The 3 year warranty is definitely WAY better than the 90 day warranty. But the Ryobi is 150 PSI compared to Bauer’s 160 (not the biggest difference but it’s something). I believe the CFM for the Bauer is 13.4. What is the flow rate for the Ryobi?

    There is one feature of the Bauer, that the Ryobi can't match. The Bauer can operate on either 20V batteries, or 12VDC with the cigarette adapter included. On the road, that is a major benefit, if you forget batteries or the batteries run low. Nice to have two power options.

    Can you unscrew the air line to use a different air line/gauge/chuck?

    With the 88p or 300p, is there the ability to unscrew the air line and use a different air line/gauge/inflator-deflator/chuck?
