Default Air pump for tires

Because it is getting very difficult where I live to find a place to inflate the tires on my C7, am contemplating purchasing a pump to use at home. I see the new Air Hawk cordless pump, but there are very few reviews. There are also electric air pumps. Does anyone have any recommendations on which pump for home you would recommend? I'm hoping for a cordless, but an electric would be okay. Thanks, Michael

I purchased one of these small units from Harbor Freight for use in the house garage & for some off-site use. 60 gal compressor in remote garage is not too portable. Can usually find for $40 with coupon. Not for heavy duty use - Works well for tires. Gave daughter one for her house & a friend got one - No issues with any of the three units.


3 gal. 1/3 HP 100 PSI Oilless Pancake Air Compressor

I tried a battery powered pump once, but it was far too weak to fill tires in any reasonable period of time. There may be battery ones that work, but mine was so bad I returned it. Now have a corded Craftsman #2875111 that works well.
