Portable Air Compressor
Can anyone recomend a good air comp. the type that you can stow away in the back for filling tires?Is there any good ones,or are they all junk? I bought one last year,the power cord keeps popping out of the lighter receptical and the air nozzle dose not seat on the tire valve very good.It was only 15-20 bucks.I want to replace it with something better if there is one out there.Thanks for any recomdations. :cheers:

I think a pump that is just marginally better, than the one you have now, will be a lot more expensive.

I would try to find one that is belt driven. You will get a lot better compressor that way, and it would easily handle tools in the future. They are not nearly as noisy as the direct-coupled units either, but it will take up a little more space. Grainger is a great source.
