Compressor or Jumpre/Compressor?

I think the point about having a longer air hose is irrelevant.

Thats what she said!

As far as the original question. The problem with the combo air/jumpers is the compressors are slow and not for constant type use. You might be able to air up one tire that is a few pounds low and thats about it before it over heats and fries. Also with the combo units if one or the other breaks you have to replace both.
I would rather have a good compressor. Co2 tanks are nice but if the safety cap blows it is not a good experience inside your VX...I know first hand! The windows frost over and the oxygen is gone in an instant! If your driving down the freeway you can imagine. You can also hook your compressor into a small storage tank.

Not true - the Cobra unit that I have will punch all four tires (31") from 15-35 lbs without burning up or even consuming the entire battery. But it does take awhile as Marlin mentioned, probably 3-5 minutes per tire.

Sounds like you had a faulty relief valve
You can't run air tools off of a compressor Also, nothing can really break on a tank. You have tank, and a valve. Thats about it. Valves are <10 bucks, my shop replaced mine for free. You can also do tank swaps, actually cheaper than filling your own. Turns out, my shop doesnt have tanks with indy4x stickers on them, so no go for me
