Has anyone used the cheaper 12 volt air compressor's priced at around $100 to $150 such as Truck Air or 4x4 Bushranger. The other brands such as Big Red and ARB units etc. are way over priced for what's in them and as I would only be using it for the occasional use I would consider one of the cheaper units provided they can actually pump up a 31" x 10.5" x 15" tyre and are reliable. I would interested in hearing comments from anyone who actually has used one of these units in regard to pumping up a totally flat tyre or re inflating low air pressures.

Hi,Rob
Bushranger unit(about$150) should do the job.It can pump the tyre from flat and reinflate after sand driving.However i would consider any such unit as emergency only.I agree with you about the prices of heavy duty units but i dont think we have a choice.Cheaper units are not very reliable and tend to
cook themselfs when most needed.
I run liquid CO2 bottle on my roof rack capable of inflating about 26 tyres(265 75 R16) from flat to 32psi at the 10 sec.per tyre.No 12V compressor can mach that
