Mine was cheap, but my favorite feature is the targeted auto stop. So I set it to a pressure, and it stops when it reaches it automatically, which no gas station pump ever did for me. So I can get them all to the exact same pressure without stopping to check where I'm at a bunch mid fill-up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] froh42@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Ah ok - if the gas station doesn't have such a machine that's pretty useful. My next gas station has such a compressor, I enter the pressure and it does everything automatically once the hose is connected. Anyways, keeping your tires at correct pressure probably pays for such a pump in a short time. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) I legit just bought one yesterday lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] OptimusPrime@lemmy.moonling.nl 2 points 3 years ago What a coincidence! permalink fedilink source parent [โ] haych@lemmy.one 3 points 3 years ago I have a Ryobi one, technically seperate battery but it's so good it's worth it. Attach, set the PSI I want, hit go, it stops on its own, no awkwardly crouching down holding a button or keeping my eye on a dial that wobbles a lot. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Notnotmike@beehaw.org 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Bonus points if it also includes jumper cables with that battery. Having a portable jumper when your batter dies is insanely useful. However, the model I have doesn't hold a charge forever, so I find that I have to recharge it every couple months or else it will be dead the next time I actually need it.
