Re: canned air - wurm - 11-09-2023
I have this one. Is that the "station"? I've never had it screech on me, but I only usually have to add maybe 2-3 psi when I've needed it. *edited to add that I did have to add about 10psi to each of the tires on my daughter's car a few weeks ago. She noticed the TPMS light on the dash but apparently not how the car was riding. Probably because they all needed air.
As for cans of air, I've never had them go flat. But as they get low, they do get weak.

I bought an electric canned air for around $25 recently on a deal I found on slickdeals. I dropped my old one one too many times.

It's now listed at $56, but I got it with a 50% off coupon - it's been up again at least once since I bought it.

I literally just ordered this 5 minutes ago. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P2T3RLN/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
It's corded, so you won't have a built-in battery going bad in 4 years.
I have a pancake air compressor, but this is for light duty electronics stuff, like my stickng kes n m laptp.

Here's the one I bought awhile ago on sale on Prime Day, have been pretty happy with it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7N9S2G7

I have the "station". Best part of the station is you can set a PSI target and start it and it'll stop when it hits that target.
Is it the same as worm's, below or the older version?
I want the Set and Forget feature!

That's a newer I haven't seen, that replaced this:
It has a three-year warranty, where my $25 inflator may have an expired two-year warranty.
Does yours do 'Set and Forget'?
I literally just ordered this 5 minutes ago.
Let us know if it produces canned air velocity.
If so, and it's still $20 I'll do that instead of the six-pack.

I have the older version - still has the "set and forget", as would the newer one (indicated by the +/- and Start buttons).
Re: canned air - wurm - 11-10-2023
Yes, mine's a set and forget. Only thing I didn't like was the screw on thing for the valve stem. I bought a couple of clamp-on adapters shortly after I got the inflator.

That's the one I have and we use it a lot around the farm for topping off tires. Even taken a few implement tires that were down to like 5 psi back full pressure around 30 psi. We have a 5hp 240 volt compressor in the equipment shed but sometimes it's just not accessible. We this inflator with us on day trips, pick ups and deliveries.
I only paid like $30 at Direct Tool Outlet for a factory refurb/new actually.

I bought this years ago when I was cleaning out computers at my school. I still have it and it works wonders for my needs.
Was much cheaper when I purchased it than what it is today plus it is electric and it is powerful for its size.
I use a similar one that cost about $60 a few years ago. I figured that plugging it in to use it wasn't a big deal as it's not used regularly. And I didn't have to worry about the battery being charged when I need it.
I would not use a standard air compressor. They tend to include moisture and or oil in the air. Not something that I want to blow on electronics, etc.
We have the same and no battery for the same reason, infrequent enough use that keeping a battery maintained will not happen.

You can always go w/ something like this......
Your basic RYO refillable air duster. Use your own bicycle pump, or inflation stations as shown above to charge 'em up.
$22 at Bezosville
$15 at Wally's
There are bigger, better, more powerful units available at more premium prices, but you oughta get the idea here.
Good luck!
