Craftsman 12V Portable Inflator w/ Digital Tire Pressure Gauge —
This compressor actually performs as promised and the price beats most of the competition. The removable electronic gauge is very convenient and accurate (checked against several other gauges). The auto-stop feature is also very convenient, although the over-pressure in the hose while the compressor is pumping requires that the pressure setpoint be set a few psi higher than the desired pressure. Accurate readings can only be taken with the compressor switched off. But it only takes 2 or 3 tries to figure out what the correct setpoint for your tires will be, and the compressor rememebers the last setting as well. Pumping is relatively quiet and fast (faster than a bigger pump I used to own that failed to work after about 2 years). I've only owned this compressor for less than 1 year, so I don't know if it will last, but so far the reliability and workmanship seem better than most compressors I've used.
