I'm looking for an all purpose compressor for the garage occasionally running tools,does it have the capability to fill tires quickly?

This rather heavy tool seems a bit "over the top" for mainly tire filling, but once at 90 to 100 psi pressure, it will fill tires quickly, just like a gas station hose. It doesn't have the reservoir capacity for extensive paint spraying or continuous impact tool operation, but for the DIY'er, it works well. Note that this unit is oil lubricated, so you can expect some oil in the air produced, not a problem for the uses you mention. If you need a unit which can be easily moved around, you may want to consider one of their equivalent, though more costly, wheeled units - this one is a bear to lug up stairs or any significant distance (about 65 lbs.).

I got The Bull last year and I can't be more happy with this compressor. I researched it and it stood out above the rest for dependability, performance and cost. A great garage compressor for odds and ends work. Pressures up FAST! Run my nail guns with it... Greatness! I highly recommend "The Bull!"

It will be much faster than most compressors, short of running something with a large 30gallon tank that is already charged and ready to go. It is about the best you will get in something fairly portable.

I don't believe that this compressor can drive air tools of that type. The only air tools that I've used with this unit is smaller paint spraying guns, inflating tires and multiple sizes of air nail guns. That's a good question and I would suggest going to the Bositich web site and sending that question to the Customer Service / Tech Help via the Contacts link. This is a really good compressor, it's fast, designed very well and it's not as loud as prior units that I use to own.

Yes. There is a port on top that i put a valve and a hose with a tire gauge that i found cheap at Home Depot that i can fill up my tires. It works ok and does the job.

Nope, nothing. Wouldn't you think it would? Anyway, great little compressor. Just plan a trip or two to the hardware store before you can actually use it.

Some air compressors have auxilliary pieces/heads/attachments that work for this if you are looking for something faster.

The compressor has worked well with the pneumatic tools. I found it on sale later at Lowes.

Ms. Betty, I'm not sure what kind of tires you are looking to fill, but it wouldn't work on a car, motorcycle or bike tire. For those, I believe you'd need a compressor.

I used mine for a nailer to nail down my hardwood floors. really good compressor for that - also use it to top up my car tyres on occasion!

It really doesn't have that kind of throughput for air tools. I think you'll just overheat it or plain run out of air because the compressor can't keep up. You can run a large nail gun because it's intermittent use. I blow out the garage but, I don't keep my finger on the trigger full-time.

Yes but there are a few questions. What are you spraying? A compressor needs to supply 43 to 58 psi at the gun. But air storage of the compressor is important if you are spraying a lot. Small tank storage of the compressor will empty quickly and you will loose pressure. My home compressor has about 4.8 gallons of storage. It is good enough to blow out air filters, fill tires, clean the garage out and supply pressure for short term needs. If I was painting a car, a compressor with a 60 gallon storage tank would a better choice as the compressor would not have to run all the time and the pressure would not vary. Also consider a properly placed water filter that will take the moisture out of the compressed air if that would be an issue for your project. All fittings and tubing are very common and available at your local Sears, Ace Hardware, Home Depot and of course Amazon.

My husband used his air compressor. Any gas station would have one for tires. Maybe you could try that for free? I even use this great exercise ball at my desk to get exercise while typing away!

Yes, I use this compressor to air my tires. You will need to purchase attachment available in any hardware or home supply store for $15-$20. Don't forget the quick connect (if the tire attachment doesn't come with it). A great compressor kit, use it all the time.

This is a great off road compressor but does not have AC plug nor does it accept air powered accessories. It excels at putting air into tires quickly.

This is more of a medium duty, but is right on the edge of being a fast-fill compressor. Unfortunately we are out of stock on these at the moment. Hopefully we will have new stock in about 2 weeks. If you have any questions please let us know.

No. It is not powerful enough to drive any tools. It barely will put air in 2 tires.

I don't believe this is suitable for that purpose. It's not actually an air compressor, where you have an instant volume of air at the press of a button. It's basically designed to pulsate or pump air into air inflatable devices such as vehicle tires, basketballs, etc. BUT... if you are looking for a FAST vehicle tire inflation pump, this is the ONE to get! I LOVE mine!

No, you'll need something with a tank so you have enough volume of air. At least a 1 gal tank, preferably bigger. You can pick up that type of compressor for much less than the cost of one of these.
