Let’s be honest: Nobody wants to buy an air compressor. You only think about them at the worst possible moment—sitting on the shoulder of a busy highway with a hissing tire, or staring at a flashing “low pressure” light on your SUV dashboard at 7 AM.

Yes. Buy one for yourself and one for your partner’s car. Just remember to charge it every 3 months.

For $70–$90 (depending on sales), you get a cordless, rechargeable pump that lives in your glove box and saves you from dirty gas station hoses or waiting two hours for roadside assistance.

It took 12 seconds to attach the screw-type brass nozzle to my valve stem. (Pro tip: The hose is short but flexible; you will need to hold the unit, not let it dangle).
