3 gallon Compressor $29 at home depot YMMV

Quote from yosh2000 : only tools for a car this will work on is the inflating tires tool! for car air tools, you need at least 1.5 times the CFM the tool requires and almost always more than a 15gal tank or more.

Mine shipped using the cache trick. Do I actually want to keep this? Will it pump tires better than the compressors that come with car battery jump packs? Or am I better off spending $20 toward a better compressor? I don't expect to use this much. I'm trying to avoid deal clutter.

I noticed the unit is available on homedepot.com again but the price is $79 now. Mine shipped (for $20) & should arrive on Wednesday.

Just received mine ($20.00). Came shipped in factory box and wasn't damaged. Will give it a test tomorrow and make sure it is working and all. Thanks again OP.

it will for sure pump up tires better than those jump pack compressors!! i got a little 12v compressor for my wife to carry around with her on the road just in case at it took close to 3 minutes to pump up her tire from 15psi to 35psi (i know, i know, she told me her TPMS light came on a few weeks ago, but she thought it was just the cold....!). it has a slow leak, so i refilled it from 25 to 35 in about 3 seconds w/ this compressor. plus this little thing will work fine for trim work with a smaller brad nailer or staple gun. it also will work great for blowing out the computer and things like that. just think, all the money you can save over those stupid cans of air!

i personally will be taking mine back, due to the fact that i got the porter cable one for $49 that has about 4 tiems the cfms at 90psi, which means it will refill faster, as well as its a 135 psi tank, versus this 100psi tank.

Can the $49 one run impact tools for the car? I've not owned a compressor. I guess I'll dabble with this cheap one and look for another deal if I need better.

Agree with you ; the Porter Cable is better for the reasons you cited. IMO it's the better compressor at $49 even sans the 13 pc accessory kit the $20 HDX has. I'm waiting delivery of my HDX one. Probably will keep the HDX & won't switch over to the PC because it appears they are no longer in stock.

no. again, your compressor needs to be at least a 15 gal and 1.5 times the cfm of the impact tool you will be running.

Ugh, any luck with these any more? I found some in stock (on-line) at a local store, but the on-line price is $79. I guess I just have to go down there? Thanks!
