TL;DR: Highly recommended. Too convenient, you'll save time and take better care of your vehicles if you have one.
I'm adding air springs to my truck and wanted a way to air them up while on the go, but didn't want to be hauling a compressor around all the time. In steps the 12v tire inflator. Figured that if battery life became an issue I could hack together something to run the 12v tool off the truck's 12v power system a lot easier than I could an 18v inflator. Hasn't been an issue at all.
This tool has wound up being something I wish I'd gotten years ago. I have a decent compressor in my shop and enough air line to reach any of the areas a vehicle should be on my small property, but this portable inflator sure is easier than dealing with 50ft of air hose. Connect it to the valve stem, set the pressure I want the tire at, hit go, go do something else, the inflator will stop when it hits the set pressure. Switch it to the next tire, hit go again. I have a slow leak in one of my dually tires and it had no problem bringing that from 45psi up to 65psi in a few minutes. Great for everything, no more pushing the wheelbarrow with a low tire anymore. Hand truck, trailer moving dolly, all of it. I'm checking air pressure in the tires and taking better care of my vehicles, while saving time and hassle. Highly recommended.
