Performance
Although this unit is quite small in comparison to others on the market, it is powerful enough to handle a wide variety of inflation jobs. Many people use it to re-inflate their car or truck tires, but it can also quickly air up a deflated basketball, soccer ball, or beach ball in record time!

These accessories allow users to re-inflate virtually any flat tire, including tires on motorcycles, bicycles, and lawnmowers; as well as camping equipment and children’s toys such as air mattresses and volleyballs. It includes a long, 9-foot cord that can be plugged into a cigarette lighter, and a 6-foot cord with an AC plug. The multi-functional unit operates on DC 12-volt or AC 110-volt power, and includes a high quality 21.7-inch rubber air hose – long enough to reach every tire on your vehicle with ease.
