Dealing with a flat tire is no one's idea of a good time. Sure, it's warming up, but the thought of waiting on the roadside for hours for AAA to come to the rescue sounds downright miserable no matter the weather. Instead, you can snag this portable tire inflator while it's on sale for $40 and deal with low tire pressure yourself.
This compressor comes with both a 20-volt rechargeable lithium-ion battery and a 12-volt car power adapter, so you'll never run out of air, even if your battery is out of juice.

Why is this a good deal? 💰
This tire inflator has sold for as much as $100 in the past, according to our price trackers. At $40, it's a great deal (and an all-time low price)! That's not even considering the money (and time) you could save by skipping a tow truck.
Why do I need this? 🤔
There's never a good time for a flat tire, but they always seem to happen at the absolute worst moment. That's when the portability of this tire inflator shines. It doesn't take up much room and, once you've charged the removable battery, it's ready to go whenever you need it.
Other than portability, speed is my No. 1 concern when I'm looking at tire inflators. The last thing I want to do is stand around for an hour while I pump up my tires. This compressor will inflate a tire from 0 to 36 PSI in under four minutes and has a maximum pressure limit of 150 PSI.
Don't want to wait outside while the inflator does its thing? It has an auto shut-off, allowing you to walk away while it's working. I'm not one to care what color my tire inflator is, but if you do, this one comes in four colors — black, red, yellow and blue — and they're all on sale.
Set it and forget it. This inflator has a shut-off feature accurate to +/- 1 PSI. (Amazon)
What reviewers say 💬
Over 2,300 reviewers have given this handy tire inflator a five-star rating.
Pros 👍
"This pump has had no issues at all airing up multiple bikes, trailer tires, and even my full-size truck tires," said one five-star reviewer. "The battery seems to last even longer than they claim (at least in my case), but I do use the [power] adapter when possible to conserve the battery in case we really need it."
Another happy road warrior championed the inflator's compact size. "One of the things that I hate about pumping tires is you usually have to buy a very large size compressor or something that barely fits in your vehicle even with the carrying bag. This item is a fantastic size and can be stowed and hidden very easily."
"Last winter, I got several messages from my car that the tires were underinflated. I went to a Quick Stop near my house that has free air," explained another busy driver. "These visits were under less-than-ideal conditions. It was cold and windy, so when I got a message this time, I ordered this tool. What a difference! I used it at home, the air stops when it reaches the PSI you set it to, and it is lighted."
"Powerhouse tool," said a fourth fan. "This product is amazing. It's easy to use and it's easy to store. I actually now keep it in the back of my car. I use it here for a blowup pool for my grandchildren, and I also bought a bouncy house for my grandchildren in our backyard and that also fills up beautifully. We actually are purchasing one for our son-in-law to use."
Cons 👎
"I use this pump basically for lawn tractor tires and my bicycles. It is very convenient not to have to take out and hook up the big compressor," shared a four-star customer. "My only issue is the storage bag, it is definitely not the best quality, but does keep everything in one convenient place."
"It gets hot quick if you're trying to use more than 36 PSI," wrote a final buyer. "I have to have mine at 75 PSI ... the battery seems to work better than the 12-volt plug when using, but so far, so good."
Forget about waiting in line at the gas station to use the air pump.
