So a while back (about 1.5 years) I had an electric compressor I bought from Checker for $40 that was awesome, clamped on to the battery and could fill up my 33x10.50's with little effort and quickly. Had a big motor on it, and was something like 1/2 hp.

Anyway, that one broke, and checker doesn't carry them anymore, in fact no one does (too many breaking?)... So, i'm looking for a good protable air compressor that is capable of quickly filling 33x12.50 tires, has some sort of carrying case/box, and costs around $100. I'm not really interested in a hard-wired one or a power tank system, yet.

So, any recommendations?

the cheap walmart ones didn't even hold up for atv tires.

That much is obvious... I don't want some little comprssor that plugs into a cigarette lighter, I want one that clamps on the battery posts, and has at least 1/2 hp if not more. Similar to a QuickAIR2 or QuickAIR3, but those ones cost $435 for a protable version, a little higher than I would like...

I'm thinking about this one:

Anyone know anything about it?

EDIT:

Actually, I might spring for this one, 15-30 psi on a 35x12.50 tire in 2.25 minutes!

I ran a similar search a while back.

This thread probably contains your best option.

I don't think my mod would work for your tire size, but it's something to think about.

Sweet,

I think I'm probably going to go for this one. Good performance, not too expensive.

Peace out.

Careful with those compressor ratings - they can cause more confusion than they solve!

Here's a good comparison article:
