Best portable Air Compressor?

[JoeDirt]

Project farm did a video on a few different compressors.

I looked at that one, at 1.5 CFM it would be pretty slow on large tires. The Smittybuilt is 5.65 CFM, much faster, and cost 3 times as much although cost isn't much of a factor.

I have the 5.65 CFM Smittybilt and I LOVE IT! It is pretty quick for airing back up and seems on the rugged side. I'd buy it again! It's around $186 on Amazon right now, but I bought it on August 24, 2020 for $154 before tax. If you don't already, check out the Honey app for the Google Chrome browser and set a price watch for the compressor and see if it comes down, if that's the one you ultimately decide on.

ETA:
I checked on the Amazon pricing using the Honey app and the price seems to fluctuate often. If you keep an eye on it, you could score the Smittybilt unit for a good price.

I've been using a bicycle pump. It takes a long time....

ARB Portable single is what I have and love it.

I bought the VIAIR 300P and have used it a handful of times with no issues. It also came with a carry bag. I’m happy with my purchase and I got it for $139 on Amazon in June.

Yes, but if you air down a lot just think how big your guns will be!

I have a Viair 400P which takes my 33s from 21psi to 38 in under 2 minutes. I will be testing it with my 4-1 line this weekend.

I need one that will air up to 65psi for my TT and also use at home for my bike. How about one that will work on 110 and/or 12volt.

Thanks for all of the tips....and laughs, the issue is my RV tires have to be at 95 psi, and at 19.5" that can take a long time, why I need a high volume compressor.

They do make a combo compressor, but if you do a search, their all pretty much "cheapies" from $60 bucks and under.
Better off going with a good quality 12 volt that runs directly off the battery instead of the 12 volt plug in types.

Bought one of these. Haven't used it a lot, just liked the idea it was in a ammo can and it is a local company.

I think I will get this one, it is a Modded Smittybuilt 5.65 CFM (twice as much air) with SAE fittings in place of the metric ones. I will do the pressure switch mod myself and that should do it. My current 30' air hose with digital inflator will snap right on.
