Attarsiya: I like to go back to some of my bigger purchases after a few years and revisit my review because so often reviews are written just weeks or days after purchase and do not reflect durability of a product, especially of that product has moving parts, motors, etc. I purchased this compressor in summer of 2018 and have had it for over four years and it is still working great.

We've got a Rubicon with 34" tires, and a Subaru, both of which see a good amount of off-roading, overlanding and beach driving, a fair amount of airing down and airing up. We are also a family of five with bicycles, camping air mattresses, etc.

I have to say I am very happy with it and it is working great after a good amount of use for more than three years. It has been in dust, sand, mud and rain. It has aired up 12 large mud terrain tires with a cool down of about five minutes between each vehicle (all but very huge compressors need this) with no problem. even with its 66% duty cycle (pressurizing 2/3 of the time , actively cooling 1/3 of the time), it takes my 33s from 16psi to 38psi in a couple of minutes. After three years of using it around 100 times and a total of a...

DAXX: I ordered this @ the end of August and it took 15 days to arrive (even with Prime). It was over a week later than its original estimated delivery date before I received it. Delivery originated in PA, U.S.A which came to Ontario, Canada, its destination. Unusual. I was concerned further as the box it arrived in was torn up. But after opening, contents seemed ok.

Looked pretty hard at these units online, taking all reviews and videos into account. I came to the conclusion this Smittybilt 2780 tire inflator isn't one of your run of the mill units on Amazon. This feels to be a robust, heavy, well built compressor that does the simple job of putting air in your tires (or other items). It isn't as loud as my previous compressor, but that is a relative experience. It doesn't shake and move around as it runs, just stays in place. I found after about 5 min of use the heat sinks were hot, but not enough to burn skin. The hoses seem like good quality, fittings work as intended. The gauge doesn't match the readings on my other two tire gauges but most people who own these have had similar experiences, so it was expected. Once you learn the discrepency in the...

Kyle GruenKyle Gruen: Best in class / pricepoint for up to 33” tires - Id probably spend the money on the next model up if you have 35” tires.

It can run pretty hot but hasn’t failed yet before airing up all 4 tires. I bought this after an off-road run where I used my friends after he finished 4 35” tires. (See photo). No problem finishing mine right after. He carries extra fuses / I would recommend letting it cool down for 15 minutes between cars but good to know it has the capacity if nec.

The hose can kink thought so just be conscious of that if it’s not airing up as quick as you expected...

UPDATE 2020 - I accidentally drove right over my compressor a few weeks ago - bent the mounting plate but the pump still works. Amazing.

VVBulldog: I got this to carry in my truck. It is a 4x4 but Im not into trails and such. I use it to pull my boat and do other truck things. I got this pump after the one I had forever broke(different brand). This one came in a bag and stores well in it but the material and zippers do feel a bit cheap. For my light use I think it will be fine though.

The pump itself is very nice and it is not very loud. It was easy to hook up and all the hoses connected up easy. The only thing I would have liked to see is a different style chuck. The one on it is a screw style and it takes more time and effort than a locking chuck. It is also straight and when my old pump broke it did so when my motorcycle tire needed some air. I tired to use this and found it just would not work. The air tip needed to screw to far onto the stem and I did not have enough room to to make it happen. I could get it on but it took to long to get it both on and off and I ended up loosing all the air plus some. It just didnt work.

Overall it is a nice little pump and it will suit me well. I used it today as the weather has been colder and my tires could use a top off. I got all four of my tires from...
