Hey guys,

Can anyone here recommend a good car manual tire pump to keep at home? I tried searching the forums, but I didn't see any related topics. Perhaps manual tire pumps aren't made for cars? I'm a when it comes to tires, sorry

I guess I wasn't very clear, but that's what I meant by "manual." I guess the word I was looking for was "non-pneumatic", ie, not one of the big air compressors.

Thanks

daniel1113- what do you want to do with a "manual tire pump"?

All devices that pump air are pneumatic. (You can't have a non-pneumatic air pump.)

There are basically three categories of air compressors (air "pumps") for tire-filling purposes:
1) hand-operated bicycle-tire pump
2) 12VDC compact electric air compressor
3) 120VAC large garage-based air compressor

If you want a portable compact compressor for occasional or emergency use, go to any auto parts store (or even Walmart or Target) and look for 12v air compressors. You can even get combo units that include a battery jump-starter and an air compressor all-in-one (but they're more expensive).

will this work.....



sorry couldnt resist....


i am sure a 12vdc compressor is going to be your best bet for the price....but it would probably be easier/faster to just go to the gas station whenever you need some air.
