Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Cordless Inflator — 

This inflator is a great add-on for the C3 product line. I fyou already own the tools, batteries,e tc. this is a no-brainer! Makes for a decent digital pressure gauge, a good top-off for vehicle tires, good bicycle inflator, and a good ball inflator. Very handy to have around!

I try to check my truck tire pressure once a month or so, but I forget a lot. I have pressure sensors in the tires so when one gets low an alarm goes off. This inflator is real handy for that purpose too! I hate trying to manuever around the gas station lot and get air, always busy and a PITA. The Lock feature is wonderful!

The complaints I have are: 

  • The way the hose attaches ... it has a screw-in fitting, but just sticks into a rubber tube-like grommet and gets held-in, tightly, by the screw on cap. I don't like the connection method.
  • I agree with another poster, I think the tire chuck is cheap pot metal and they could have at least went with brass.
  • Mine runs hot. After a few minutes of running, the tip of the connector which attaches to the device and the hose were pretty hot.
  • The lock feature only works up to 40 PSI.

None of these complaints are deal-breakers for me. They are just on my wish list for improvements and thus my 4-star rating. It still is a functional tool to definitely have!
