Best 12v Air Compressor
#26
Here's a 12V compressor that looks in between cheap and good......Of course, Harbor Freight only sells the best...
Is this really going to work better then the $20 pump?

CC will just credit you back the purchase price of the defective merchandise, in the form of a paper check, if I'm not mistaken. Use it on Longcare then. No aggravation, just a phone call to file the claim and a simple form to fill out.
I had a great experience with Citibank on $500 LCD screen blackout under extended warranty clause. Sorry for the thread hijack.

Okay, having the impatient, ready fire aim, personality I went out and bought yet another ULLOSE endorsed product....I was thinking about going with Superflo or the one from Harbor Freight but in the end I just didn't feel like I needed to make this any more complicated then it really is......

Just in case your curious.......Here's what I have found so far with this compressor that makes it worth the $20 asking price.
-pressure guage on unit is within 1 pound of my guage
-"Set it and forget it" feature again was within 1 pound of my guage
-Inflated RX8 tire from 30-40lbs in about 2.5 minutes
-No messy cords to wrap around the compressor, everything tucks nicely into the end of the unit and then the cap is screwed on top
-Flashlight might come in handy some day
-Does not "dance" around while inflating tire
-Home Depot warranty
-It's $20
Here's what is no so great.....
- Feels Cheap
- Looks Cheap
- Bulkier then other similar compressors
- Not real quiet....Not real loud either
All in all I think if you're going to go the "cheap" route this is a very good option....

The one I have has no problem busting torqued (75-90lb) lug nuts loose...I can do a number (like 4-5) of sets of wheels over the course of a weekend with one battery. Only thing I have to be concerned with is not laying on the lugs nuts when tightening...this thing will over torque lug nuts if you're not paying attention. Also, it weighs in pretty good...some cordless impact guns are significantly lighter, which is no big thing to me, but important to others.

on a whim we bought a Master Flow MF-1050 at Costco for $50 last night. This thing kicks @ss, can run continuously for 40 minutes, it pumps really fast, you have to clip it to the battery though, it draws too many amps for the lighter plug

That thing looks pretty awesome.....If I would have seen that before I got the Hope Depot pump I probably would have picked it up. Still, attaching it to the battery is a bit of a PITA......Especially on a stock RX8.

you can make bolt-on leads with a plug that will connect to the OE battery cable connections, you'd only have to pop the hood and plug into the connector
otherwise you're only talking about popping the engine and battery cover. You should already be pulling the engine cover before every event to check the oil anyway ...
