Do you need a multipurpose air compressor to inflate tires?

If you also want your inflator to pump up sporting goods, inflatable toys, etc., a multipurpose air compressor is probably best. However, if you just want to inflate your vehicle's tires occasionally, you won't need all that versatility. That said, most of the inflators we tested came with a variety of attachments for all kinds of inflation needs.

Is avid power a good tire inflator?

In our test, the Avid Power was more than a full minute faster to both 30 and 45 psi than its main rival, the AstroAI pistol-style cordless (below in the "Other Tire Inflators We Tested" section). But instead of an extra battery, it comes with a supplemental 12-volt DC power cord. (Note: We tested this unit using the battery.)

How loud is a portable inflator?

Most portable inflators are rather loud when operating; nearly all of the ones we tested came in at just under 90 decibels, or about as loud as a leaf blower. All of these units warned against overheating; always allow any portable air compressor (especially handhelds) to cool down after about 10 minutes of constant use.
