I have never been good at checking my tire pressure on my bike or cage so I bought this pump. I'll never be lazy again at least not checking my tires. FYI....

I paid $60 delivered but it's at $50 here. Well worth the money.

i carry something like this on my bag...
help get me off side of road...has helped others also.
just about any small auto pump could be taken apart.
or consider the little slime brand auto pump.

That one looks good but the 12v pumps are a pain in the rear for me. The Bon-Aire one is 120v for use around the house. Much quicker than a 12v and has a real good gauge on it althouh I still use my hand guage. JMO

 

true..the little 12 volt pump is very very slow.
but if you carry one..it is great when you have a flat on the side of the road.

 

12 volt for on the road, compressor for at home. You can get a decent small compressor for not much more than that air pump, and buy other fun goodies to go with it. Just my $0.02

 

IMO, 50-60 bucks is too high for a 12V compressor. A 10 buck one from Walmart works just fine. Yep, they are a little slow,but will get the job done if you don't want to spend the bucks on a compressor for home or simply want air for when you are on the road.

 

I have a small one for my truck tool box and a regular compressor for the garage. Having a retractable hose and the compressor--I check tires weekly. When I just had that twelve volt take all day pocket compressor---I aired up visibly low tires. The one in the truck tool box is for small trailer spare tires.
