A portable tool that uses a 12-volt power source and generates high air pressure, often up to 200 PSI.
It's designed for various applications like inflating vehicle tires (cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles), air suspension systems, train horns, and air tools.
Many models feature a compact and portable design, making them easy to carry for roadside emergencies or outdoor use.
Common features include a pressure gauge (digital or analog), thermal overload protection to prevent overheating, and a durable construction.
Some are "oil-less" and maintenance-free.
They often come with multiple inflation nozzles/adapters and a carrying bag.
Available with single or dual cylinders for varying airflow rates.
