Campbell HausfeldRP4100 120-Volt Inflator

This tire inflator is lasting a long time. It has been very durable. The power cord is quite long, which is very handy.Here are the things I DON'T like about it.> Like most high-pressure, low-volume tire inflators, it's pretty slow. To increase the pressure from 33 to 38 pounds on a typical car tire, it can take 5-10 minutes. There's nothing can be done about this, and all of this style compressors have the same issue.> The gauge is not very useful. It's designed for a pressure range of 0 to well over 100 pounds, and it is very small, and not at all precise. Add to that the vibration of the needle from the compressor and you're lucky to get a reading within 3-4 pounds in either direction of the actual pressure. I use a stand-alone radial tire pressure gauge instead of relying on the compressor's gauge.> Because of the right-angle head on the nozzle, and the stiff lever clip to seat it to the valve stem, removing the nozzle from the valve stem is awkward, difficult, and ALWAYS results in losing a few pounds of pressure. I have solved this problem by purchasing this: JACO Lightning S2X Tire Inflator Hose Extension Self Locking Nozzle | Patented Lock-on Air Hose Adapter for Tire Pumps (Open Flow) which makes attaching and removing the nozzle from your tire's valve stem easy and quick.

After several years of use, my trusty foot pump finally started to fail. It now seems impossible to buy a quality US built foot pump that is sturdy enough and robust enough to do the job it is intended for.I tried a Slime product which plugged into the cigarette lighter socket in the truck. That blew the car's fuse, so that went back to O'Reilly's. Not amused! I looked at the Black and Decker unit similarly priced to this Campbell Hausfeld unit and many of the Amazon reviews cited the same faults (short hoses, blown and irreplaceable internal fuse). So I settled on this product instead.So far it's been performing well. I inflated the tires of my mountain bike up to 60 psi with no problem. I also topped up the pressure in my Honda CR-V's tires from 30-31psi up to 34 psi, again with no problem in about a minute. You don't get the pressure like the air lines at gas stations, so inflating will take a little longer. The mains electrical cable is pretty long and does wrap around the base for convenient storage. The base also has rubber feet so the unit sits off the ground slightly, thus avoiding scrapes and dings.Based on my limited use so far, there are two downsides. First, it is pretty loud. Not much can be done about that. Second, the pressure gauge is pretty basic. It shows 10 psi increments only. Meaning, there are no markers for individual psi increments. Thus, to get 35 psi, you'd have to use your eye to get the needle midway between 30 and 40. I solved this issue by following Zen's review. I too bought the "EZ - Air Tire Gauge" for about $15. You simply connect the pump to the EZ unit, then use the EZ's hose to connect to the valve stem of the tire. It's an easier clamp mechanism too and the gauge shows individual psi increments. So if you need 35 psi, you can see it clearly marked on the gauge. When the pump is operating, it does make the gauge needle vibrate into a blur, so you will need to switch the pump off to see what psi you have so far. If you over inflate, the EZ gauge has a button you can push to release some air, so it's pretty easy to get back down to the pressure you want.Overall, the pump is OK but I would absolutely recommend you pick up an external pressure gauge as well and the "EZ - Air Tire Gauge" works great.Happy pumping!

Works great.Pros-Runs off of outlet-Built in handle-Has a removable fuse-Has 2 compartments to hold the nozzle attachments and air hoseCons-Doesn't run off of car batteries or cigarette lighter-Gauge is inaccurate compared to my two analog gauges. Also comes in 10 psi increments, making it hard to read.-Tire chuck locking mechanism takes a little longer to put on than a clip on tire chuck-The rubber inside the tire chuck is starting to fall apart a bitIssues:Some people have been complaining about the tire chuck being too tight or small for your tire valves. This doesn't seem to be the case with my unit. It fits the valves fine. The only problem I've run into with the tire chuck is that it takes about 1 or 2 seconds longer to lock the chuck into the valve. There is a switch that you can flip down that locks the chuck. You flip it up again to unlock it. When you put the chuck onto your valves, you need to lock it as quickly as possible to reduce air leaking out of your tires. The same applied when you are taking it off. Compared to a clip on chuck, this locking mechanism allows more air to leak out of your tires due to the extra time it takes to lock/unlock the chuck.However, this isn't really a big issue for me, since I also bought an Accugage Ez Air tire gauge. The gauge on most air compressors aren't really that accurate so it's always a good idea to buy a separate gauge. The great thing about the Ez Air tire gauge is that you can hook one end to your tire and at the same time hook the other end to your air compressor. Then, you can pump up your tires while measuring your pressure at the same time. The Ez Air tire gauge has a clip on chuck, so it is a lot easier and quicker to connect and disconnect the chuck from your tire valves. You can hook up the air compressor to the tire gauge first and then hook up the gauge to your tires. That way you won't be messing around with the locking chuck on your tires and leaking out air.Another issue is that little bits of the rubber material inside the tire chuck is starting to fall out. At this time it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. I'll keep on eye on it to see if it will get worse and if it will affect the unit's performance in the long run.
