    88p here. Make sure to run the engine while your using it. I like to run mine while it's on the floorboard with the cold air from the AC blowing on it.

    What size tires do you have? What's the most PSI you've had to add to get to spec pressure? And how long did it take?

    Curious because I have started investing in Milwaukee M12 tools and I have the inflator on my list of things to buy.

    This one does the job for me, fits behind the rear seat. Loud because oilless.

    i run Falkens in 265/70r17. i think i've gotten them from 20 to 34 in 10ish minutes. it's something helpful to have in a pinch or if you want to take the guesswork out of getting to an exact pressure.

    I bought one of those mv50 from pepboys ages ago, it was $30, looks like they are double that now.
    If you can get an old scuba tank and regulator you'll be a lot happier.

    I will probably order one of these to get me started. Even if I upgarde it's compact enough to be a good backup. Thanks for posting and including the bag as well.

    Edit: seems like they are coming with a bag now per comment below this one... I also saw a video where someone unboxed a new compressor and it came in a zipper bag.

    If you have a storage setup to secure a Puma 12v compressor it’s a great system. 3/4hp, 135psi, 1.36CFM,1.5 gal tank. Runs at about 30 amps, startup peaks at about 60 amps. Had one in my Land Cruiser. It could air up the 37’s from 15 to 35psi in about a minute 20 per tire.

    I think it depends on the model you buy. If you don't get a bag with it you can use the box for storage. Just a little tough getting it all back in the box. With the mechanics bag you have a little extra room to coil the hose up next to the compressor.
