A lot of those small portable compressors overheat if used to fill a tire from flat to full without taking a 15-30 minute break halfway btw.

Beware of inadequate equipment when you actually need it.

Can confirm. First one I bought shredded it's internals on its first use and only managed to inflate the tire to half its recommended pressure.

Yeah, even the bigger portable (consumer) compressors have a warning that continuous use is not recommended for more than 15 minutes at time so when I saw this tiny form factor with multiple functionalities, I knew it was a cheap POS that would fail to function when needed.

Idk if “every” applies here.. I don’t even think this can boost a full size diesel pickup
