AstroAI Cordless Tire Inflator

The biggest unknown with most of these devices is whether it will destroy itself by overheating. Filling one tire is probably surviveable, filling four tires in one go arguably is not (without ten minute cool-off periods every 20 minutes or so). Some Elf-discipline required. I have yet to see one brag about monitoring the internal temp buildup and imposing breaks as necessary. YMMV.

I have a Marita battery version of this type of inflator. Works great, but yea overheats quickly. Read the instructions and plan accordingly.

I’ve only had one inflator so far that didn’t overheat after one tire, and it’s a Hart (Walmart brand) that I believe will slow itself down as it gets hot, at least based on how it sounds when it’s working. I can use it to inflate four flat tires to 35 PSI, it takes about half an hour for it to do that and it goes through one and half 4.0Ah batteries when doing so.

This thing? I wouldn’t trust it past getting a single tire from 15 to 35 PSI without eating itself, but the Woot price is competitive with other no-name inflators.

I’ve purchased some other AstroAI items over the years and had good luck with them. Mostly electronics testing devices, so nothing with moving parts like this.

Though I havent used it yet, so I can’t attest to the quality.
