A portable car tire inflator (with build in battery).

I bought one that connects to the 12v outlet (what we used to call the "cigarette lighter slot") in the car. It's come in handy.

I'm 62 and have just bought my first ever.

I have a Ryobi one, technically seperate battery but it's so good it's worth it.

Attach, set the PSI I want, hit go, it stops on its own, no awkwardly crouching down holding a button or keeping my eye on a dial that wobbles a lot.

I legit just bought one yesterday lol

I recommend the xaiomi one on amazon. Works great

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have exactly that one, if you mean this one:

Bonus points if it also includes jumper cables with that battery. Having a portable jumper when your batter dies is insanely useful.

However, the model I have doesn't hold a charge forever, so I find that I have to recharge it every couple months or else it will be dead the next time I actually need it. An unfortunate flaw so I'd look for reviews that mention whether that's the case for any you look to purchase

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats a thing (stand alone) on my list to purchase. Except I've bought a new car battery not longer than a year ago. So I guess that should hold up. Did I just jinxed myself?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's a jinx if I've ever heard one. Better buy two just in case...
