Vacuum, blower (which also makes it a decent inflator for floaties), and high pressure inflator.
also light & 12v adapter
solid trunk choice even if you are not in craftsman battery ecosystem

The reviews on Amazon are untrustworthy. All are Vine reviews.
The only useful parts: the inflator and that it has a 12v cord. The inflator is half baked, the vacuum is silly, and the blower is gutless. You'll have to remember to set it 3-4 psi higher than your desired number, otherwise you'll be disappointed with the results.

With the issues, it acts more like a $30 inflator, not something with a $89 MSRP.

I wonder who makes this vs the DeWalt version. While the DeWalt is twice the price, it's solid and it's accurate. Just set it and forget it.

Also you can get adapters on Amazon to use another brands' battery on craftsman.

I have one for DeWalt batteries to the craftsman tool.

The unpaid reviews suggest it sucks in the pejorative context. 10 minutes to inflate from 25 to 35 psi? Very low suction? Seems like an emergency use only tool, which could be just a simple cigarette lighter inflator if emergency.

I have the Dewalt one and it also needs to be set 4 psi higher to be accurate. Also, the vacuum is great for deflating air mattresses.

Then you must've a defective one. It's less than half a psi off. I have the Dewalt one and it's about .1 .2 off. Project farm did a review on these and also the Dewalt one was less than half a psi off.

I've had this 3-in-1 inflator/vacuum for a few months now. I paid roughly $50 at Lowe's.

Overall, I'm quite happy with it and would recommend it.

I had been looking for something like this *just* for the portable aspect alone. I ran across it at the right price, at the right time, and it had all the right features.

This is by no means a replacement for the 60 gallon upright compressor in my shop, or even the 3 gallon pancake compressor I keep in the garage, but it does have everything I want in a portable device and my expectations for it align with that. The complaints about having to adjust the set pressure up a few PSI are true, but aren't a deal-breaker for me once I figured out the offset.

The bad...
The first unit completely died after using the vacuum/low-pressure inflator for only the second time. The inflator turned on for a fraction of a second, then the unit stopped working entirely. I typically disassemble failed devices with the intent to repair, but this was was still under warranty. Research, and subsequent contact, showed that Alton Industries makes the unit, but does not support/warranty it. Issues are left to Lowe's to handle. Lowe's replaced the unit without issue. The replacement unit has worked perfectly.

The dewalt inflator does me just fine. But that's $99. This is a good buget price if you just need one. Or to put in multiple vehicles.

This is Virtually identical to a Ryobi model (P747) that HD used to sell (I have this model, since replaced I believe) guessing that the guts are the same. It has worked very well for me for > 4 years, and is accurate enough based on other measuring tools I've checked with it.

Why do you consider this some kind of all-in-one device? It moves air from A to B or from B to A. The only multi-function on this device is its power source options (battery or cigarette plug). The vacuum/blower seems gimmicky but that's still just air movement.

I have the previous generation of this (couple years old now). It's absolutely awesome. 3 ways to power plus inflates tire, inflatable beds/toys, and can deflate beds/toys as well. Mine is accurate to 1/2 psi. It's what got me into the craftsman eco system after already being into milwaukee, B&D, Ryobi, and Kobalt.
