At this price I'll bite, the light and ability to charge your phone in an emergency and plug it into a car lighter to use or charge were worth the entry price in my book.

Also, I'm not sure on the logistics, but the whole point of emergency jump starters/inflators is that you charge them and they're (within reason) always ready to go with the battery % degrading very slowly when stored away. I can't picture my weak 2.0 Ah Craftsman batteries holding enough of a charge to be able to reliably inflate more than 1 tire at any given time without having to charge it regularly (The YaberAuto only requires a vharge every couple of months). A 4.0 Ah Craftsman battery alone is $50+ and probably still wouldn't as function as well as a tool/battery that's specifically designed for this task.
I guess this would be cool to have if you have no other options, already own Craftsman tools/batteries, and carry/use them on a daily basis. I just personally think there are so many other cheaper, more efficient options that serve the same purpose.

Amazon sells many for $15 or less with a battery. Reviews for any serious inflating aren't great.
Here's one example:

Let us know how it goes with the Craftsman or the generic. Most of the portable ones struggle to fill a car tire from empty when you need it most.

The pressure gauge on my unit seems to be off. Maybe a pound to 2 lb. I checked it with an air gauge and that's what I found. This is better than most of the other air inflators I've purchased. Some have been off as much as 10 psi.
For the price do I think it's worth it? If you need one and you use it like I do I would say yes. It's small ish and it seems to work. Mind you I just use this once on a tire that was low about 5 PSI. It inflated that 5 PSI at a decent rate I thought. Don't expect this to fill this up in seconds. It took a about a minute to a minute and a half.
edit, just wanted to revisit this. today. I fill the air of four tires on my other car. The air gauges pretty accurate which I found uncommon with the other air inflators I had. The tires on this car were about 10 lb low. On the same charge. this was able to inflate them with no problem. I wanted to revisit the build quality. The bill quality is pretty solid for the unit. pretty satisfied
this inflator should inflate a tire. if it was completely flat. though, it'd probably take about 5 minutes or so.
this one is great if you have B&D batteries.
It's corded too.
