Re: Hand tire inflator..

It's nice but I wished the air delivery rate was faster, when you have to do 4 tires that are down to 10 psi back up to 35 it can be a pain.

The point of having an air pump at home is that you don't let your tire pressure get down to 10 psi....

You don't drive on the beach with street pressure...

If your tires are that low, then either you need to rethink your maintenance intervals or you own a trails truck and just got back from rock climbing or driving on sand dunes.

For a dune ready vehicle you should have a on-board air tank reservoir and compressor to keep up with the larger than normal air volume replacement needed when transiting from sand to pavement again.

Or refit a a/c compressor for making compressed air.

I remember we had a circa-1970 Pontiac that had an engine-driven air pump under the hood, along with a hose long enough to reach all four tires.
