Slightly smaller than the Craftsman V20 Cordless Inflator, the 10.2 x 8.5 x 4.5 inch design is humongous compared to the likes of the handheld Fanttik A8 Apex compressor. Its 6.0 pound weight is roughly what the tri-powered Craftsman V20 Cordless Inflator weighs. The 1.2-inch monochrome screen is backlit and uses large numerals. Below it is a three-button interface with an “S”, for setting the maximum pressure, plus up- and down-arrows for adjusting the pressure setting. The screen only shows Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) and tops out at 120 PSI, something that shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re a bicycle racer. The inflator also has a pair of on/off switches: one for turning the pump on and the other for the tri-element LED light. In addition to a needle for inflating a sports ball, the kit comes with an adapter for filling a bicycle tire and a thoughtful 30 Amp fuse to replace the one that comes with it. The Portable Air Compressor’s digital pressure gauge was accurate and didn’t swing wildly when the pump was engaged. As is the case with the Carsun tire inflator, the instructions warn against using the unit for more than 10 minutes at a time. If you ever find yourself in that sort of situation you’ll need to let it cool for 10 minutes first. The inflator comes with a one-year warranty that falls short of the lifetime protection afforded by the RoofPax pump.
