What do you use for a portable tire air compressor?

When off-roading. I air down the M/T's on rocky terrain. This unit is real popular among off roaders. Can inflate my 35's from 20 psi back to 33psi quickly. MV90 - SuperFlow® 12 Volt Portable Air Compressor by Q Industries - Quadratec

now that's a good deal...3.7cfm for under $150.

You must have missed my first post. I paid $30 for it w/ sale price, today it's $25, list $45 (but who pays HF list )

If your writing about the $8 HF units I've burned them out like cigarettes when just adding 10lbs of air to a car tire.

My dual Slime is awaiting me at WalMart.

The REAL bad thing about a $25 air compressor burning out is it'll happen to me on a rainy night where I don't get cell reception. Portable auto air compressors should be built to WORK or be labeled "for laughs and recreational use only".

How would you like it if your tire jack gave out during use?

They sell different units. The one I am talking about is yellow plastic. I have one that is 3 years old. Used it a couple dozen times.
