  • Good Compressor, Good price.
The functionality of the compressor is very straight forward and easy to use. The supplied yellow hose is plenty long enough for any application I would use it for. The gauge attached to the inflation tip is within 2 psi of my Boulder Tool co Gauge. I am running 35x12.5r15 BFG KM3’s. This compressor took me from 20 psi to 37 psi in 3 minutes. Very capable, Fast, “Little” compressor. Overall I am happy. **Things to mention: -The fittings are Not Standard. -This compressor is much larger than I had anticipated. (See Photo in the trunk of my TJ) -It does get hot, Be careful. -The supplied bag is Junk. -It moves around while on. ... show more

  • Good standalone compressor or for onboard air
The media could not be loaded. Comparing this to my Wolo 860 compressor for my onboard air system, this Smittybilt is really good quality. I've only had this compressor for about a week but it is quieter and quite a bit faster to pressurize my tank. To be fair the Wolo is only 3.5 CFM and I think the Smittybilt is a little over 5 CFM. My only complaint with the Smittybilt is that it uses a metric air chuck and metric pipe fittings instead of NPT fittings that you would find here in the States. That said it's not hard to find a M12 x 1.25 F to 1/4NPT M fitting on Amazon to convert to our standard here. I had to do this to adapt to my current onboard air system but otherwise have no complaints so far. Again the pump is very quiet and quick to fill up my tank. I have a 5 gallon tank and it only takes 2 or 3 mins to fill to 100psi now verses 8-10 mins with the Wolo. ... show more

  • It worked great!
I just got back from a trip to SoCal for an off road trip, and this air compressor worked like a champ! We had three vehicles that we had deflated tires to 20 psi each. After finishing our day of 4x4ing, it was time to reinflate our tires before hitting the pavement. It took about 15 mins per vehicle for a total of 45 minutes of continuous use. This was also during desert conditions with temperatures between 115°-121°! I thought for sure the built in overheating safety breaker would have thrown but it didn't! It handled my 35s that I run on the pavement at 48 psi with no problem. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase! Make sure to have some good gloves, because it does get extremely hot! The only downside was Amazon didn't put it in another box for shipping; they shipped it in the MFG's original box and UPS trashed the box. I was lucky that the bag of adapters weren't lost through the gaping hole through the cardboard box and styrofoam shell around the compressor. Shame on Amazon for being cheap! ... show more

  • it's a great tool, I did a fair amount of research and glad I found this solution, BUT...
the attachment with the in-line gauge is NOT accurate, it's off by a few-degrees (~2-3PSI +/-1). I must confess that my reference point was the digital gauge of the vehicle (2021 F-250) monitors, aka the tire-pressure sensors but yeah, there's a disparity of about 3-psi. Not sure how I feel about that. The motor and pump themselves are great. I also don't like the plumbing connectors for the quick-detach couplers on the hoses that ship with the pump. Otherwise, it works amazingly compared to a traditional tank-filled compressor (this is tankless) and it has no issues with heavy-duty tires, doesn't even break a sweat reaching PSI levels above 70-psi. The directly-attached hose does get hot but that's expected for compressed air plumbing--I just wonder if the materials of the hose can expect durability because of the heat stress. I really don't like the fittings, I don't think they use standard quick-detach adapters so you could easily swap for off-the-shelf parts but all in all--it serves its purpose and does so rather well, except the aforementioned grumblings. I still give it a solid 4.5--so that's a statement for this insatiable consumer with high demands for his dollar investments. ... show more

  • Great value for the money
Great pump. It's heavy, and gets HOT, but it should be expected. You can get something smaller if you have SMALLER than 33" tires, but 33's and above you should be using a pump like this when relying on a portable pump for off road. A couple of quick notes to new buyers. 1 - If possible, keep your vehicle running. It'll provide a lot more power for the pump to draw off of, and will work much better (and cooler) 2 - Be CAREFUL after it's been running for a bit. It gets hot enough to burn you if you're not careful. 3 - Turn the pump on BEFORE connecting it to your tire. Says it right there in the manual, and takes stress off the pump when connecting it. 4 - We were able to fill up 6 and a half 35" tires back to back (not turning it off) before it tripped the overheat protection. It took about 10 minutes for it too cool down enough to resume, but it was impressive considering how long it was running. 5 - There are a number of pumps that are identical to this, but are branded differently. One such pump (won't mention the name, but it's red) is both less expensive, and has a uncoiled/straight hose rather than the coiled hose which comes with the smittybilt. I'd opt for that one instead, as the hose is just easier to manage. Regardless, both are great pumps. It's a fantastic pump. I've had a previous one for a couple of years, and recently gifted it to my daughter for her own off-road rig. ... show more
