Inflators

Inflators provide a portable way to inflate and top off tires and other compatible items where a fixed air system is not available. Common commercial uses include vehicle tire-pressure maintenance for cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, motorcycles, ATVs, tractors, and roadside or job-site equipment checks; select models also support sports equipment and compatible low-pressure applications.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with the inflation job

Identify the tires and compatible equipment you need to maintain

For vehicle-focused work, compare the stated pressure capacity and supported tire applications. A 100 PSI model is intended for a range of vehicle tire applications, while another portable model provides up to 150 PSI for tire and recreational inflation tasks. For compatible items requiring pressure below 15 PSI, choose a model with manual low-pressure mode.

  • Vehicle tire applications include cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, motorcycles, ATVs, and tractors.
  • Adapters on one model support sports equipment and Presta-style valves.
  • Manual low-pressure mode supports compatible applications below 15 PSI.
Compare control features

Select the level of pressure-setting control your work requires

Programmable or digital pressure controls let users set a target level before inflation. Automatic shutoff stops inflation when the selected pressure is reached, helping avoid over-inflation. Available digital controls can display pressure in PSI, kPa, or bar, and one model offers a selectable 15 to 100 PSI range.

  • Automatic shutoff is available on several portable 12V inflators.
  • Digital displays support pressure setting and monitoring.
  • One model includes a programmable pressure setting and a 100 PSI maximum.
Plan for access and visibility

Check hose reach, connection style, and lighting

Choose a hose length and valve connection that works for your routine tire checks. Available options include 31-inch threaded hoses and 36-inch braided hoses. Built-in safety lights or LED flashlights support visibility in low-light conditions; certain flashlight-equipped models include multiple modes, including SOS. One 100 PSI model also has a cooling fan that helps manage heat and supports up to 30 minutes of continuous operation.

  • 31-inch threaded hoses help create a secure valve connection.
  • 36-inch braided hoses provide reach to tire valves.
  • Safety lights and LED flashlights add illumination for roadside and low-light work.
