I love how they made it look like the design of the more durable inflators, the kind that have heat sink. Don't be deceived, it's still the same plastic cr*p as the other cheap ones no matter what it looks like. Maybe throw it in a car as for emergency use? Probably not something you want to use on a regular basis to top off your tires (unless you want to buy one every 6-12 months).

Can't speak for this model, but I have the USVL711RE by the same manufacturer. Have used it twice and both times it worked really well. Paid $20 for it.

In addition, the metal motor is durable to use.

I have never seen a plastic motor. But I have seen more and more plastic/nylon gear in these and that's where it fail.

Anyone know where I can buy a replacement gear for these? a metal gear to replace these would be great.

lol, just checked the Amazon page for this, 128 reviews, every single one is 5 stars. Load of BS.

Just get a Viair or similar design like the Husky ones at homedepot. Preferably get one that can be directly connected to the car battery. Get a $4 pencil gauge too as it's easier to use/probably more accurate when used right than the compressor gauges.

Any of these, for example, are better options. This is one of those things for me I would spend more for.

Exactly my thoughts too. Most of these cheap Chinese pumps don't work well, they simply are not powerful enough to top off all 4 car/truck tires. They get hot sometimes melf can also blow a fuse or even burn the socket. To save $10-20 bucks having to replace the wiring harness on a car Frown
