Smittybilt Universal Air Compressor - 5.65 CFM Capacity

Jose : El producto está buenísimo, aunque la manguera de inflado se ve de baja calidad. El tiempo de inflado por llanta es de no más de 2 minutos, muy buena opción

Adam: The media could not be loaded.  Comparing this to my Wolo 860 compressor for my onboard air system, this Smittybilt is really good quality. I've only had this compressor for about a week but it is quieter and quite a bit faster to pressurize my tank. To be fair the Wolo is only 3.5 CFM and I think the Smittybilt is a little over 5 CFM. My only complaint with the Smittybilt is that it uses a metric air chuck and metric pipe fittings instead of NPT fittings that you would find here in the States. That said it's not hard to find a M12 x 1.25 F to 1/4NPT M fitting on Amazon to convert to our standard here. I had to do this to adapt to my current onboard air system but otherwise have no complaints so far. Again the pump is very quiet and quick to fill up my tank. I have a 5 gallon tank and it only takes 2 or 3 mins to fill to 100psi now verses 8-10 mins with the Wolo.

MacLeod: I just got back from a trip to SoCal for an off road trip, and this air compressor worked like a champ! We had three vehicles that we had deflated tires to 20 psi each. After finishing our day of 4x4ing, it was time to reinflate our tires before hitting the pavement. It took about 15 mins per vehicle for a total of 45 minutes of continuous use. This was also during desert conditions with temperatures between 115°-121°! I thought for sure the built in overheating safety breaker would have thrown but it didn't! It handled my 35s that I run on the pavement at 48 psi with no problem. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase! Make sure to have some good gloves, because it does get extremely hot! The only downside was Amazon didn't put it in another box for shipping; they shipped it in the MFG's original box and UPS trashed the box. I was lucky that the bag of adapters weren't lost through the gaping hole through the cardboard box and styrofoam shell around the compressor. Shame on Amazon for being cheap!

Your Favorite Antagonist: the attachment with the in-line gauge is NOT accurate, it's off by a few-degrees (~2-3PSI +/-1). I must confess that my reference point was the digital gauge of the vehicle (2021 F-250) monitors, aka the tire-pressure sensors but yeah, there's a disparity of about 3-psi. Not sure how I feel about that. The motor and pump themselves are great. I also don't like the plumbing connectors for the quick-detach couplers on the hoses that ship with the pump. Otherwise, it works amazingly compared to a traditional tank-filled compressor (this is tankless) and it has no issues with heavy-duty tires, doesn't even break a sweat reaching PSI levels above 70-psi. The directly-attached hose does get hot but that's expected for compressed air plumbing--I just wonder if the materials of the hose can expect durability because of the heat stress. I really don't like the fittings, I don't think they use standard quick-detach adapters so you could easily swap for off-the-shelf parts but all in all--it serves its purpose and does so rather well, except the aforementioned grumblings. I still give it a solid 4.5--so that's a statement for this insatiable consumer with high...

Juan: Me funciono perfecto

peter gidzak: This works amazingly well. It's a lot bigger than it appears in the pictures. I tested it out by airing a 33" tire from 22lbs to 36, and it took probably less than a minute.

The only thing I don't like is the air gauge on the hose. The compressor puts out so much air that it can't stuff it through the tire valve fast enough, so the air gauge reads a lot higher than the tire itself. Not a reason to not buy it, just means it's that quick, and you have to stop inflating to check the tire pressure.

Luis A.: Es super rapido y resistente, lo probé en llantas muy grandes de 42" y las infla en menos de 2 minutos cuando los compresores pequeños tardan hasta 10 minutos, lo unico que no me gusta es que los conectores de las mangueras son tipo japones y no son compatibles con los tipo americano que se usan aqui pero es un gran producto

Ashley: Heavy but well made and performs great
Fills up my 33s from 10psi in less that 2 min to 35psi
What I don't like is how when it's inflating the pressure gauge reads higher than what you actually have in the tire, so you have to turn off the pump and check...roughly reads 5 psi higher when running than actual pressure

Ron OwensRon Owens: The functionality of the compressor is very straight forward and easy to use. The supplied yellow hose is plenty long enough for any application I would use it for. The gauge attached to the inflation tip is within 2 psi of my Boulder Tool co Gauge.
I am running 35x12.5r15 BFG KM3’s. This compressor took me from 20 psi to 37 psi in 3 minutes. Very capable, Fast, “Little” compressor.
Overall I am happy.

**Things to mention:
-The fittings are Not Standard.
-This compressor is much larger than I had anticipated. (See Photo in the trunk of my TJ)
-It does get hot, Be careful.
-The supplied bag is Junk.
-It moves around while on.

SC Power Engineering Co.: This compressor is by far the most powerful and fastest that I have ever tested. It is much larger than photos suggest, and includes both a long electrical power cable AND a long flexible air hose. The included pressure gauge did not match separate tire pressure measurements. Possibly due to the higher pressure during inflation in the hose compared to the air in the tire. Use your own accurate gauge to check each tire after inflation.

Note that the air flow rate is so much faster than you would expect, even in large tires, that the inflation must be monitored visually at all times. The tire pressure could easily reach dangerous levels if you take your eyes off the gauge while the compressor is running.

Remember to wear gloves to protect your hands during use. When you try to disengage the hose coupler or if you try to touch the top of the cylinder and air fittings you will burn your skin.

Do not use this compressor with a vehicle engine turned off. You will quickly take too much charge out of your battery, unless it is brand new. All automotive batteries are subject to aging over time, losing about 20% of energy storage capacity...
