if you just want to pump up the odd tire you can get a cheap compressor that plugs into the cigarette lighter--ok, not anymore but i don't know what they call them now--look at walmart for about $20 ours has come in useful many times with boys that like their 4 wheelers, dirt bikes and stuff. also good to carry in the car in case of a flat tire, patch kit and compressor.With ten transportation devices with pneumatic tires, from a Silverado
diesel pickup to a wheelbarrow, it seems like somebody always needs air
in the tires. It's only a few miles to the nearest gas station with an
air pump, but the machines want quarters, I don't really trust them, and
since half of the vehicles aren't road legal, I'm stuck with either
loading them into the truck or using my old hand bicycle pump. I don't
check tires as often as I should because of the difficulty of filling them.
After the most recent problem involving a flat-tired lawn tractor that i
had to build ramps for to get it into the trailer and to the dealer, I
began to wonder if a small air compressor might simplify my life. What
do others do? Is a compressor a worthwhile idea, or is there a better
strategy I haven't thought of?
