$295 For The Air In The Tires (Not A Typo)

General Discussion

I bought my compressor to drive my impact driver, but use it for countless things now, including blowing stuff off my garage floor and even my driveway.

I wanted to get a “lift bag”, like those used by rescue crews, to use instead of a jack, but those things are surprisingly expensive. It’d be great to be able to just slide a bag under the car and blow it up with the compressor to lift the car. I checked into “air jacks”, but my car doesn’t have enough clearance.

My little compessor is really just a 120v / 12v tire inflator that runs either on an extension cord or, with the car motor running, off a 12v plug in the car. It fills tires slower than the air hoses at gas stations but is soooo much easier to use at home I don’t mind the few extra minutes total time it takes overall.
