I've seen a commercial for this a few times now and wonder if it's worth it. Should would be easier than using my pancake compressor.

I have an Air Hawk, very similar. It's ok but it's no real air compressor. I use it to keep my riding mower tires inflated.



For my vehicles I use this instead. Does my truck tires, no sweat.

I remember seeing ads for the Air Hawk too. I clicked on your link but it states "product not available". The commercial for the Bullseye shows it inflating a car tire very quickly (I assume it's in real time).

I had one like a Bullseye (same shape, different color) for using on the race car at the track. It was a miserable piece of crap.

I bought a DeWalt inflator. It's a bit bigger but still portable, and it's automatic. Set your pressure and walk away. I checked it against my good tire gauge and it is spot on.

My old gun style I couldn't even give away. It went in the garbage.

Okay I will have to look at what DeWalt has. Good brand name at least. The thing I'm most tired of is running an extension cord out to my driveway for my cars outside. Gets to be a pain. Also the auto shut off is nice.

Dewalt looks nice. Nice handle for carrying.

Kobalt has one but doesn't look as nice or easy to carry but 120 Volt

I have the dewalt one too. It works great. I use it to pump up my tires instead of dragging out the air hose. I also take it with me on long trips.

The Milwaukee one seems to be the most popular one I see at the dragstrip.

I have a Ryobi handheld compressor but it is painfully slow. I keep one of my wife's hair ties on it so I can hold the trigger down and walk off if I need to add more than a few lbs.

Yeah, I bought one solely because I already had all the other DeWalt tools and batteries.

I keep it in the truck and find myself using it at least once a week! Well worth the $100 at Lowes!

i have a robi version of that.. it inflates tires but is super slow about it. great for bike and motorcycle tires though.


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Probably no better, or maybe worse, then the little Inflaters, you'd plug into cig. lighter.
You'd wear down that battery to inflate a Flat car/truck tire to any good pressure.

I have had the Milwaukee M12 tire pump for 4 years and really like it,
but it has gone up in price from $60 back then,
and the 6 amp hour lithium battery for it has gone up from its original $69 price by an even higher percentage.

Don't buy a bullseye. When the battery eventually dies, where do you get a new battery? Answer is, you don't. It's proprietary, and who knows if this company will be around in a couple of years. Get a Ryobi, Dewalt or Milwaukee, at least you can always buy a new battery and use it on other tools. If you want to go cheaper, get the Ryobi.

As soon as Milwaukee came out with the M18 inflator I bought one as I already had other M18 tools. It works incredibly well, I even convinced work to buy one for our test trips as it can top off our 110 psi truck/trailer tires. Pretty quiet too!

Good point regarding battery. They already have me convinced to go with DeWalt or Milwaukee. Thanks all.

I just ordered this one. Cheapest was Amazon $125
