    Who's the cat in Moab this year that had the air compresser that clipped up to the battery? It was small, portable, and worked great. Whoever that was please chime in and tell me the make/model of it.
    Peace.

    I was one of those people. I have THIS ONE

    These will not re-bead a tire though. About the only thing that will do that is a Co2 tank. To re-bead a tire it takes a stong fast burst of air. But for airing up tires after the trail the above compressor is great. I was fortunate enough to get mine for $25 when the company that makes them first put them out on the market. The jeepers got wind of them and the positive reviews and they sold out FAST at that price. Even at the current price it is still a great value. They have been compaired to the much more expensive Viars.

    The question is however, how long does it take? With an air tank its like seconds...

    I can air up my 31's from 15 to 40 psi in about 4 minutes each. Not that bad at all. I had a Co2 tank, but living in the desert, the heat would cause the gas to expand and blow the emergency seal. Not fun when that happens...windows fog up and oxygen disapears instantly!

    Then use small compressor to inflate.
