Ha, good point. I was just doing a race against the other, not considering time since they both took a few minutes. Normally, I'm only topping off a few psi due to the change in temp, that takes about 30 seconds to a minute. To go up about 10-15psi, it's about 4-5 minutes. A full inflate from empty depending on the tire does take a considerable amount of time, around 10-15 minutes. If it's cold out, expect to need to charge the unit afterwards.
It's listed on Amazon for $120 but they have a lot of incentives on their site. I still use it frequently and besides losing a lot of battery quickly in cold weather, which any battery would really, it's holding up well.
Doesn't look like it. And I wasn't aware of the price before it was released, it's a steep ask for what it is. Still a decent product but with no replaceable battery, that could be a deal breaker.
Hah, I think you'll get more than a year out it but that's if you use it like I do, once every two weeks. If you're an active person, yeah, doorstop in a year or two. If you can find this or a similar one for around $75, I'd say that's fair. Anything cheaper and it'll probably do the whole shoddy battery explosion thing.
@@Altek1 That's the kick starter pre launch price..$79. Based on what they did with theirjump pack, expect the price to gradually increase by another $20-$40 after. Maybe final price will be around $100. If you want battery operated inflator, its a good choice. If you're just looking for an inflator that runs off the car, then the Viair 85/87/88p are much better choices at around $55-$70.
Even for $100, that's not a bad deal. Any higher and you definitely lost me. My wired inflator was about $35 on Amazon and it's pretty good. I did have an issue with a fuse and had to bum power off another car which wasn't ideal but that scenario is rare. The main reason I like it is when I go to pickup my car at the garage after a few weeks. My bag has a battery booster and now the air inflator and I'm ready to go without annoying cables. Unless that's what you're doing, or camping, it's definitely overkill for most people.
Hah, the words tires and sneakers are interchangeable in the auto world in my opinion. Let's catch up with lunch soon, I'm just up the road from where I used to be. I'll give you the lowdown. Hope you're well! And thanks for still checking out my vids!
@@Altek1 Glad to hear you are close by. Can you send me your contact info to my cng address so as not to have it on full CZcams display :) I will then reach to you to grab some lunch. Best John R.
We have auto tools need veido review, how to do cooperation with you? We are waiting for your great job video.
How long did it take to inflate the tires? You "started the clock" but didn't tell us the time it took to get to your desired PSI. Thanks

What's the price of the inflator
It's listed on Amazon for $120 but they have a lot of incentives on their site. I still use it frequently and besides losing a lot of battery quickly in cold weather, which any battery would really, it's holding up well.
Can the battery be replaced?
Doesn't look like it. And I wasn't aware of the price before it was released, it's a steep ask for what it is. Still a decent product but with no replaceable battery, that could be a deal breaker.
@@Altek1 thanks for feeder, that's a deal breaker $100.00 door stop in a year

79 bucks?
That seems to be the pre-order price which is very well worth it if that's the permanent price.
