This thing? $50 and doesn't even come with a battery OR charger. You'd have to go to the $100 bundle to get those!
So that's 200 trips to the gas station to get air before you'd break even. Let's say you go once a month, because you buy cheap tires and run over nails for fun (normal folks need to put air in their tires once or twice a year, at most). At once a month, that's 12 trips a year. You'd break even in roughly 16.66 years.
Even at an excessive once a week, 52x a year, that's 3.8 years before breaking even.

Let's say you spend $1 per air refill, and let's factor in $3 in fuel/time costs -- that's $4 a trip. That's 25 visits to the gas station. Most people go 1-2 times a year for JUST air, so let's say double that and say 4x a year. That's 6.25 years to break even factoring all the other costs.
But let's be real, we're going to the gas station at least once a week for fuel. We'd just take care of any low tire pressure issues while already there.
Nah, I'll buy two and go twice as fast.
Also if the nozzle is too big to slip into a gap, it helps that you nudge the valve stem slightly outwards. The key is to keep the valve stem and the nozzle on a straight line.
The life time warranty is honestly a very big reason for me to go with this. The auto-inflating feature is cool too. I wish it fits over a presta valve though.

How many minutes on this badboy to inflate a doll?

Curious on if it seals well and if it has lasted any amount of time of general use.

If you set a tire to.....say 35PSI from 25 it ramps up inflating it and you'll notice the pressure shoots up super fast and hits target turning the pump off. After double-checking the pressure you'll see it only went up to 28. Do this again and it'll hit 31 then 32 then 33, then 33.5 etc. Using it in manual mode it is very fast at inflating, more so than the M12 and Ryobi and its pretty quiet but the fact you can't set it and forget it kinda defeats the purpose of it.
