What are you guys using for portable power/air comp?
My HF all in one port a power/air compressor is useless after less than 2 yrs. I used it for air compressor and to power my trailer winch at track. It worked well at first but eventually got to where it wouldn't charge enough to pump air or pull car up on trailer. Is there a reliable all in one or should I just get 25' jumper cables and separate air tank? The all in one is pretty handy around house for jumping off my other vehicles, but it never had enough to jump off Z. Is there something better out there that I can't find?

Just get one with a bigger reserve batt. Last about 2-3 years.

Put on a Marine deep cycle battery for the winch and charge it before you go and it will last, no problem. They are made to be recharged. Walmart $65.00 For air I got a 6 gallon comp from Home Depot and you can use it as a tank or compressor. 3 gal is to small. Just my .02 JD
