tire inflators

Portable air compressors

Tire inflators are devices that pump air into tires.

They range from manual foot pumps to electric compressors that plug into a car's power outlet or run on batteries.

Most include a pressure gauge to monitor inflation.

Portable tire inflators have become standard emergency equipment for drivers: I keep a tire inflator in my trunk.
