AstroAI ACJY21LIDCYE 20V Air Compressor - Yellow

This is a nice tool. Purchased for my daughter in Sept of 2024 for a much lower price than this.

^^ Same. Works great but I want to say it was under $30.

Well you need to account for inflation.

(See what I did there?)

I did. But you do have to err on the side of caution, and not be tiresome.

Joking aside, it is a very versatile and useful tool at a good price. I’ve got one and I also bought one for a friend.

I paid $58.99 after a coupon back in 2023, and felt that it was a good price back then. It’s that price today on the mothership.

:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Touché.

Actually I have one of these that are selling on the mothership for $20 at the moment (list price $40) and have used it several times and been very impressed. I recharge after evy use so not sure how battery life compares.

I think I prefer the simplicity of charging with a USB cable & charger over a removable battery and separate charger, though that’s a personal preference.

Some people might prefer to be able to add battery power immediately which I can’t do except mine does have the option to connect directly to the car’s 12v system and power the inflator from that DC.

What I’m more interested in - now that I’ve seen them - are the ones that can inflate and jump start. The jump starters are another piece of technology that amazes me, considering the 40lb boxes we used to have to lug out for jumping, not to mention the battery maintenance for those if you didn’t use it often.

I have the NOCO GB40 starter. Highly recommend as it is amazingly small but packs a punch. They had them on sale here a few days ago, sold out quickly. Good reviews wherever you look. Also has USB out I believe, so you can power/charge the inflator you have.

I have an older one that has saved me many times when I had two different vehicles with a weak battery. I’d like to recommend it but it tends to be finicky which I’m used to but really believe is a design flaw. The best thing about it is the case it came in lol. And I can’t complain about the longevity; it’s been at least five years and still working.

When I replace it though, I would get one that has the air compressor inflator built into it. Unless I feel like they’re overpriced lol. It really does make sense to combine the two unless it’s for someone who would never use the jump start feature.

That looks like a great price for that! I’ve only seen them (low-priced ones) in the $50 range. I just got an another inflator though at a couldn’t-pass-up price of $15. If I can gift it to someone then I could justify buying the combo :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Funny that’s under birthday offers and the description says (in June) Valentine’s Day gift for him. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
