I can't think of a much better use of a pancake air compressor than for topping up the tires of cars, and especially light trucks, at home. Another great use is seating the beads if you decide to mount your own car tires for different seasons. The large air delivery provided by the pressurized tank comes in handy in several instances.
And in my racecar shop I got a huge giant aircompressor from the 60s that was used to paint cars at a autobody shop this thing is a giant but still runs great never changed oil in it or anything we have had it since 2002 and it never once broke down. It was hooked up to multiple hard line with 10 outlets for ppl to use at the race track my parents owned while we lived in cannada they owned a asphalt oval track and compressor came with it and it was used every Sunday for 50 years and it still runs like a champ
Nice little compressor. I got the big stand up Mcgraw one from harbor freight in back of my truck for my mobile vehicle and boat detailing and paint correction and polish bussiness and it has been exposed to all elements heat rain and storms for 4 years and still runs brand new
Thank you for the video. I have two air compressors. One has a fixed tire nozzle, that's unremovable and locks onto the valve stem. The other has a universal hose, and I have a dual chuck. I had no idea how to use the dual chuck. It works, but, I wish it locks around the valve stem of my tires for ease so I don't have to hold it, and to have a secure fit, so no air leaks.
You're covering up the adapter(isn't it called a 1/4" male quick connect plug?!) with your fingers and not showing it and not showing screwing it in. I know that may sound silly, but it's a lot more instructional than just saying I screwed this in and connected it to the hose. Especially, when you can't see it and it's not the proper terminology? Also, how did you connect the coupler adapter to the air coil hose and how did you connect that to the compressor? Showing these things would be very helpful as well!
I've filled an 11 gallon portable air tank with a Porter cable 6 gallon 150 PSI compressor and it did the job just fine ' so that means it is capable of topping off or inflating any tire on the road ' any tire!
It can be between 40 to 60 psi, but you are not pressurizing to tire equal to the compressor. You need to use a pressure gauge to periodically test pressure in tire, and not go above that indicated on the tire itself.
@@MicroSoftner just for future reference, there are attachments that has the tire chuck and a pressure gauge built into the attachment so you can see the current pressure in the tire itself. but yeah, set the pressure to around 60 when inflating bike tires or something.
that totally sucks... if u happen 2 overinflate a 'sensitive' tire it will burst... like they don't have chucks w/valves which open as soon as the air pressure is the same on both ends?

I followed the video and the tire isn’t airing up. What am I forgetting or doing wrong?
Thanks for the post!

thanks this is really useful too me I needed to know how to put it on and how it works😝
your a lifesaver
Your welcome. Thanks for watching it, and your comment.
What pressure do you set the regulator to?
It can be between 40 to 60 psi, but you are not pressurizing to tire equal to the compressor. You need to use a pressure gauge to periodically test pressure in tire, and not go above that indicated on the tire itself.
thank you, appreciate it my friend.
@@GettinAuld that's why I came here to find out how much air do you put in? I didn't see any gauge? I don't wanna blow up the tire.

Thanks, I just wanted to know what it's called 😅

thanks for the vid!
Shoulda showed how to turn it off
Omg 🤪
