Best Portable Tire Inflators with Digital Gauge

Fixing your flat tires can be a pain, and that difficulty is doubled when you have to check the pressure. This usually includes disconnecting the compressor to use a stand-alone gauge, which makes a tedious task that much more frustrating.

Wouldn’t it be great if a tire inflator came attached with a pressure gauge? Oh, they’re available? Before you panic, attempt to avoid the tedious task of inflating a tire, and head down to your local Albany tire store, take a look at the best inflator/gauge combinations on the market. It could save you a whole lot of time and stress…

The Campbell Hausfeld MP6000

This durable, relatively small inflator combines three useful tools for inflating your tires: an actual inflation gun, a pressure gauge (capable of reading between 10 and 150 PSI), and a tire chuck. The chuck will allow you to be hands free as the tool inflates your tires.

The inflator is very easy to use, but it also has the ability to help you out when you’ve screwed up. Overinflated tires can do a number on your car and wheels. Luckily, the MP600 will reduce the amount of pressure when it determines that your tire has too much air in it.

So, needless to say, this is definitely worth the reasonable $15-$30 price tag.

The Campbell Hausfeld Home Inflation System

Sure, you’re looking for a contraption that will help inflate your tires, but the home inflation system means you can also inflate objects inside your house (it comes with a 10-foot electrical cord).

This version of the Campbell Hausfeld only weights five pounds, but don’t let it fool you… it’s still a very powerful machine. It can reportedly inflate a flat tire to 35 PSI in no time at all!

Black & Decker Air Station Inflator ASI300

This 12/120 volt combo inflator packs a punch for it’s tiny size. This easy-to-use tool can be operated by practically anyone, as it prevents over-inflating (the motor shuts off when it determines the tire’s at it’s optimal pressure value).

The attached gauge provides a welcoming characteristic that the other attached gauges omit: a backlight! This means you’ll never have to stress if you get a flat tire in the middle of the night.

Kensun AC/DC Heavy Duty Air Compressor Tire Inflator

This guy is capable of filling up the biggest truck and SUV tires, which is somewhat surprising considering it’s size. It’s capable of pumping up to 40 PSI, and the attached gauge measures up to 250 PSI.

As you can see, there are plenty of dual inflators/gauges on the market, and you can choose whether you want to prioritize power, durability, size, or gauge functions. Of course, the tool isn’t going to prevent all tire accidents from happening. Whenever you come across a completely busted tire, take your car down to DePaula Chevrolet in Albany, and the staff will be happy to help you out!
