Which tire inflator

[AdmiralS]

I swear by these.

Fast, quiet and you can set the shut off psi

Keep them in every vehicle now with a set of the new style tire hole screws

I have the Fantik X9, it has autostop and is designed for truck tires, it is pricy, but it works well, it comes with a longer hose as well. I also bought a quick connect for it, so it just clips on to the valve stem. It also has a light, and can double as a power station as well.

I second this, the inflater is fast!

Along these lines, is there a good 4 tire inflator/deflator kit you'd pair with these? Saw this one on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0bnk35vZ

Would this or something similar to it work well?

My wife's X has a slow leak and I went to wawa to inflate only to find out their air station isn't working, and ended up with less air in the tire than before I started. I figured I should carry my own inflators. I ended up ordering the Tesla branded ones for her X and my cybertruck, but after watching some reviews it seems like there are less expensive and capable options. Curious to hear from folks with experience about what you are carrying and what is working for you.

Amazon!

This is a GREAT inflator! So easy to use and battery will last you for about 8 tires worth before needing to recharge and it's pretty fast too!

We brought a second inflator (the smaller Fanttik one) that we normally keep in the car (Model Y) so that after a day of off road adventures we could fill up the tires quicker than just the one BIG Fanttik one...

Well, it took as long to fill ONE tire (from 30lbs to 50 again) with the SMALL one as it did to do all the other (3) tires with the big one! Should have timed it... maybe next time...

BUT, I would recommend the big Fanttik one... Smaller one is fine for cars though...

I have this one and it works very well. Since it has a digital gauge, I isolate the batteries after every use to lengthen battery life. Hoses are long enough for the CT. I just need to get a better inflator. At the latest Cyber Odyssey I was the last one to finish inflating.

I have the Ettenwolf one. I had a slow leak and it worked great every time. The cheaper ones I had for my 3 didn’t work on the truck.

Thanks all. On the inflators, the reviews all seem positive but trying to determine the best. Between the Fantik, TC-BL and the ALL-TOP, any strong reasons for one vs the other. The TC-BL had good reviews on amazon but a few folks said they had maintenance issues with it.

Another vote for this one. Also fits nicely in the smugglers bay

I have the TC·BL with a 4-way system too (a cheap one from Amazon, I think it's called "ATsafepro"). Never used it on the trail, but it performed great in driveway tests. The rechargeable units are OK for topping off tire pressure twice a year, but won't do if you go 4-wheeling and have to deflate your tires to 15 PSI and then re-inflate back to 50.

I have the Tesla branded and love it.

The Cybertruck inflator is quiet, fast, and stops on the set pressure dead accurate. I pull the car next to the truck to use it too because it is so much quicker and easier. My only minor complaint is how much space it takes up in the storage compartment.

I have a lot of Dewalt battery tools. Their inflator works great. I just leave it with a batter in it under the rear seat in that storage thing. Easy to plug in, select your PSI, and walk away. I have no problem inflating my tires with it. It has a plug-in backup. I don't deflate my tires for offroading or anything. I just use it for those temp-change related pressure drops.

Personally I would only get a 110 plug in for a designated CT inflator. The outlet is right there in the bed. Last thing I want to deal with is a dead battery on an inflator. TC-BL

I use DeWalt tire inflator: https://a.co/d/0bDCEpVv

DeWalt AC power cord for the inflator: https://a.co/d/02C9F1Jh

These two are always in my CT trunk.

Then on long trips, I just throw in DeWalt battery pack for convenience…but the AC cord is always there for backup.

I bought this and love it.
I bought a battery operated one first and it did not even fill up one tire with a full charge so I returned that and bought this.
Brand: TC·BL
TC·BL Portable Air Compressor 110V,Ultra Quiet

My exact setup...TC BL compressor and a Thor's Lightning manifold and air tubes for all 4 tires. If you've ever had to air down...and then back up, you will appreciate this! Very quick and easy setup for air up and air down.
