    100%, it won't be fast, but it's as good as you need for 20psi top up each tire.

    I have a similar model, it's not the fastest, or the slowest.

    Works well
    Can get hot especially in hot weather
    I’ve melted modified hose setups with over use going 2 tires at a time in summer
    Still I recommend and I have 2 and use in 2 different vehicles
    Friends I wheel with use it too
    Solid choice for airing up on the trail and road emergencies

    Should be good if it's the clamp onto the battery kind, the plug in kind will burn up the thermal link on the back of the outlet and kill the plug.

    Ya letting it cool off is a good idea. I also stop at 25psi sometimes and drive it home if the compressor is getting hot.

    The 2781 Smitty is pretty good. I've had mine for three years now. Doesn't take too long from 18-30psi, maybe 3-5 minutes a tire? I haven't timed it but there are YouTubers who have timed it from lower to higher. I don't live somewhere too hot though, so take mind of overheating. It'll get hot to the touch but never burn skin to the touch - either way, having a set of leather gloves in the truck is always a safe bet on the trails.

    I've been using this for a year airing up my 35s from 10psi to 30psi. Think its inbetween a dual arb and a single speed wise, so you are never the slowest person.
