VIAIR 85P Sport Compact Series 12-Volt Inflator Kit For Truck/SUV Tires (up to 31")

This thing is awesome! Inflated my tires faster than any other portable I have ever owned.

I love that it has all adapters necessary to inflate multiple devices and it's packaged perfectly in a nice carrying case.

I am very, very pleased with this purchase.

This air compressor is not exactly what I had in mind. It does not generate a high amount of air pressure, so it does take a while to air up a tire. If all you want to air up are vehicle tires it is OK, but it is a somewhat of a chore if you want to air up something else; i.e., your wheel barrow tire, your riding lawn mower tire, etc. You have to get close enough for the line to reach the item. It's just not truly portable.

It is great to carry in your vehicle in case of emergency- but that is really about it. I have also notice a small oil leak already-not a good sign.

Good quality, great price. 'Nuff said.

I was very surprised at the way it inflated my tires with no issues at all and not being too loud in comparison to a few other ones or brand that I had had.

I loved it and just got another piece and will recommend to others who might be in need of such! Thanks guys.

Satisfied.

I've only used it on a bicycle tire so far which was inflated in seconds flat. The gauge is accurate too.

Well built inflator that will remain in my vehicle tool box.

We live in Los Angels, CA and twice a year we drive to Jackson Hole, WY., a 1,000 mile drive each way. Since we always go in late Spring and late fall when Jackson Hole has plenty of snow on the ground at that time. We always make sure we have snow chains and a battery starter kit as temperature can drop below Zero at night.

I bought a COBRA starter and inflater unit to make sure we can correct a low the battery condition while we are in this cold weather and a potential under-inflated tire on the way home when we go from slow mountain driving to hi-speeds driving through Utah where they have 4 stretches on I-15 where the speed limit is 80 miles per hour.

On one of our recent trips home I tried to add some air to one of our tires with my COBRA unit when the compressor part of the COBRA failed. Also the COBRA takes a year and forever to add a couple of PSI's to a tire. The VIAIR 85 adds pressure to my 20 inch tires which I inflate to 49psi on the rear wheels in a couple of minutes which took the COBRA unit 15 minutes or more, also the noise of the COBRA is almost unbearable.

The VIAIR 85 is VERY QUIET and VERY FAST. The REAL KICKER is that one gets to use a THREADED BRASS VALVE STEM CONNECTOR to attach the air hose to the valve stem of the tire. There is no air escaping when connecting or disconnecting the air hose - what a nice touch.

Really great to see we still have some PRACTICAL DESIGN ENGINEERS that design an INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH products. To top it off the price was far better than the the price for the COBRA unit which is way under designed for the intended purpose.

I bought this air compresor for airing up tires on my atv's used it twice works great and takes only a
minute to do the job. ( only needs 4-7 psi per tire )

One thing I was worried about was the amp's needed to run it, I did'nt want to blow a fuse,
using the cigerette lighter on my atv worked great with no problems.

one complant I have with with the air compresor is the screw on tip,( for the valve stem ) I think it's a pain,
But it does work.

my other complant is, The air gauge seems to be way off, shows 20 psi, actual psi was 5
I'm looking forward to trying it on a full size tire

Great little air compressor. I use it mainly for airing up the tires on my ATV trailer, truck, & wife's SUV. I've also used it on my Honda Big Red UTV.

The pump is compact, efficient, and well made. It put 25 additional pounds in my trailer tires in about 3 minutes each.

I would have given the pump 5 stars except for the inaccurate air pressure gauge on the pump. It read 40 lbs on my trailer tires when they actually had 60+ pounds in them after filling with the Viair 85.

Like most people I've purchased the portable air pumps at local discount stores. I have an SUV that I seldom used as it consumes 2 to 3 times the fuel that my subcompact does. The light comes on the dash advising me of low tire pressure.

The cheaper units start burning up before the tires are topped off and I have to finish with a bicycle pump. At 65 with the weather turning wet and cold, this is not fun. The gas stations with FREE AIR are few these days. You have to wait in line and the output is much slower than this new device provides and it is extremely quiet which assures me that it's not working hard. I like the threaded fitting also.

Thanks for a great unit.

The compressor is easy to use and is worth the money I paid. The gauge on the compressor is not accurate, it's off about 2 to 3 psi, but on other compressors I have used the gauge was off up to 10 psi.

If you don't have a tire gauge at the time you need the compressor it gets you close enough without excessive over or under inflating your tires.
