will the 20 oz can pump up a light duty tire that is completely flat?. thanks!

Yes. That is why you want to have the 20 oz. in your trunk, versus the 16 oz., in my opinion. I suggest you also carry some bottled water and an old umbrella.

it is not a pump. it is just a tire inflater with built in gauge that works with an external air compressor. you need to already have a compressor. with that said, it works great for bike tires, i used mine on Sunday to top off my tires on my beach cruiser.

It does a good job. If the tire is really low, the unit will probably need to be connected to a power source because the tank does not hold that much air

Absolutely. That is the reason I bought this compressor, for my MH tires. I have a another compressor with a larger tank but it tops off at 100 lbs. The PC compressor works great for topping off tires but not so good for air tools. Tank is just too small and the compressor cycles too much. Plus this compressor is small enough to toss in your basement storage compartment to carry with you

I use it on mine, frequently. It is not a "super-duty" inflator and runs slow enough to take care of my bicycle tires without problems.

Realistically, this compressor is inadequate for the job. The volume it produces is far too small to do a tire in a reasonable amount of time. ARB offers a tire inflation kit (part #171302) that can be fitted to any of the larger compressors such as the CKMA12. However, even that model is slow. Expect a 30 minute fill time for a tire.

To be honest, I don't know because I never used it on tires that large however it does put out a lot of air and will fill my P265 x 17s fast and works great even in below zero weather.

I used my air compressor. Too bad they didn't come with tires that never go flat. I might switch mine with those. Harbor Freight if you have them near you has tires that never go flat and you don't have to inflate.

In my opinion no, due to the small tank. It is good for filling tires and other small air jobs.

they are air filledI have a question can you really have a flat tire on an air compressor
1149175
I've only ran it up to 90 psi. It done that easy. On a small compressor on how much presure they will pump up to depends on the compressor and how heavy the vehicle is your trying to lift. If your trying to air up a tire on car or pickup this compressor should not have a problem. Is your trying to air up a tire on a loaded 18 wheeler your going to be SOL.

Yes. This is the only tire pump I have for all my vehicles, and it works fine for such purposes. As a kid growing up, we would use bicycle pumps such as these to pump up tires when we had flats and we were on the road, and our spare needed air. A bicycle pump will pump up any tire, regardless of size, as long as the valve stems on the tires are the same as the valve stems of the bicycle pump. Since bicycle tires, car tires, and even semi-truck tires all have the same valve stems, you may use a bicycle pump to pump up any of them. Just make sure the intended PSI of the tire you are pumping up is not greater than the PSI rating of the pump you are using. In this case, the bicycle pump is rated at 70 PSI, more than enough for the average car tire (somewhere around 35ish PSI is average for a car, although it varies from tire to tire). Note when pumping up a car tire, pump it up to the PSI recommended on the specifications sticker located on the driver's side door panel, NOT the max psi listed on the tire. Inflating a tire to its maximum rating will cause it to wear out super fast, and will not handle ideally.

No. Its more for inflatables such as pool loungers and air mattresses. It does not have the capabilities for high pressure low volume as with bicycle tires. Cheers!

No.The small tank will not give you enough air.This compressor is only good for inflating tires.

Depends on size of tire, however it's slow but works well. The good thing is if you have a low tire it will air it up and not leave you stranded.

Well, this one has a rather small reservoir also, so it will completely discharge itself into the tire in a few seconds, then slowly chug its way up to the 120 psi you require. However, that having been said, I find it does an adequate job airing up pretty much anything I have used it for. Have used it quite a bit over the last year and have had no problems. Remarkably easy to carry around and as long as you buy a good hose and pressure gauge, it should do the job. It won't be fast like a huge reservoir compressor, but it will get the job done.

It did on my hand truck and I''m so glad to get rid of those air up tires that are always flat when you need it. They work great for me and we load the hand truck pretty heavy at times and use it often in the winter time hauling wood.
