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 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.

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.
