A handy portable compact air inflator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unit works fine. I initially had trouble powering via the AC source as it would not work with my heavy duty extension cord. I felt certain I was not operating properly. I came back to the You Tube videos and watched the demos without resolution. I checked this review list and ah ha, there was a report about extension cords. It turns out you must use a light weight / lamp cord extension (smaller gauge) for it to operate. As reported elsewhere, the unit has short power and inflator cords. Not a problem if your main use is at home in close proximity to an ac outlet. Otherwise I like the compact nature of this product.

Works as advertised
I have only used this a few times. I use this to air up tires that take 100 psi and they are typically 5 to 10 lbs low. It works well although the gauge is about 2 lbs off on the high side. Easy enough to adjust when airing up the tires. The battery, fully charged, will air up one tire and start a second one. I used the plug in option to complete the job. It does have other functions that I have not explored, but have no reason to expect they don't work. My only complaint is the valve stem hook up does not work well for tight spaces where the valve stem is partially obstructed by the rim. I have to add an extension on the valve stem to alleviate the issue.

Built well, but . . .
This was the slowest of three portable inflators I tried out, inflating 10 PSI into my truck tire in both ac and dc electric modes. The digital display was small and also flickered. The display was flaky in that it didn't show the correct tire pressure until it turned off, but rather the pressure in the compressor (I suspect). This was confusing. The switches seemed small and were placed on the side, along with the other controls/display, which was not user friendly. There is also no light for night/emergency use. However, I would say the build quality was good and what you'd expect from a higher priced, Craftsman item. But for the price, I was certainly underwhelmed with this unit and returned it.

Great Tool for the Money
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This inflator runs much quieter than I had expected, and its form factor is well designed. The quick release stem fitting fits securely and is still easy to remove. I do wish we had the option to fit a chuck onto the hose, and the AC cord is quite short. The best feature is the automatic tire pressure setting, which, to my surprise, has been quite accurate. Lastly, while I did not buy it for the rechargeable battery option, I do like that feature. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I recommend this product.

Great little machine so far
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well, get familiar with how it operates and you will have no problems. Only Con I found was the air valve attachment handle is plastic. On another portable craftsman compressor I own it's all metal just more rugged and will no doubt last a very long time.

Craftsman inflators are best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Craftsman makes great tire inflators. Every model is fast and powerful. I used to compare a few inflators and decided to stick with Craftsman's to the point of having one in each car. Of course I have smaller 12v only models in cars. This model keeps same power and speed plus can work on lithium battery in addition to 12v or 120v. I've got this portable inflator to keep in a garage, so I don't have to take one out of the car. Even though I don't use all the features,it works for me well. Pressure gauge is accurate, no need to double-check with handheld gauge. Set needed pressure on display, turn it on and it will stop there on it's own. Even though it's on a pricey side, you get what you pay for. There is no comparison to all those power busters with built-in inflators.

Many Uses — Great Buy
This product works well and does more than just fill tires. It has many diffrent attachments. It fills bike, car, sports balls, air mattresses and even pool floaties. If you attach it to a suspected low tire it will tell you the current tire pressure. You can change settings from bar, psi and kPa. Great buy.

Works as expected
Bought because of power options and good ratings. Not going to buy separate battery and charger for the unit since I don't have Craftsman tools. Have used this a couple times now to quickly bring up vehicle tire PSI. Inflator is easy to use and did the job. Auto shutoff is nice. Accessories are nicely tucked on board, but would be nice to have end caps so they don't eventually get lost. Keeping in the box for now but a separate bag is a good idea. Haven't tried powering from 12V yet, just from a wall plug in. Be aware that power cord is very short ... so used an extension cord. Not a deal-breaker. 12V cord is about 10ft. Overall, this unit will do what I need it to do.
