I've used this thing so many times over the years that if it's a final sale... I'm thinking of buying a backup.

It's worked perfectly for me. Works with either 12v car plug, 20v craftsman battery or standard electric outlet. It has a compressor for car tires and then a separate blower for inflation of things like pool toys or air mattresses.

So just buy it from Lowes then for the same price and you won't have to worry about the silly final sale.

Had one go defective after 10 days, got a return for another unit. Can use for 10mins before a cool down. Comes with Plug in or 12v car lighter.

Beware of 2 psi off and reliability issues.

This handle tractor tires or fully flat car tires? Or just good for top ups when it's cold?

Looking at Lowe's. The battery is $159. Better off buying the one from them with 2 batteries for $198 imo

This has a 12volt car plug and a household two prong. Battery is not needed, though it might remember my 35 psi car inflation if I put the battery on it, never tried. Also I would just buy a battery kit on ebay, I got a battery plus charger for not much more than this iirc, or get the hammer drill on Amazon that was not expensive, charger plus two small batteries. Oh and actually there was a 6ah that was on sale for a while on Amazon with coupon last month. Not sure if that's still available honestly. For what it's worth the small battery on the hammer drill did 5 or 6 sections of fence yesterday, 5 inch deck screws, and didn't die.
Edit:
4ah battery $59

You don't need a battery. I have one of these and it's handy using either the cigarette adapter or an extension cord. I've not gotten mine hot.

Stanley Black & Decker makes both Dewalt and Craftsman now. Is there any kind of converter to use a Dewalt battery on a Craftsman tool? I'm vested in Dewalt but their portable inflator is usually pretty expensive.
