I was shopping around for one too and had same concern; waiting forever to fill up a tire. I ended up spending more than planned but I think it's worth it. About $200 with inflator, battery and charger (unless you already have a Dewalt charger and battery) DEWALT 20V MAX Tire Inflator, Compact and Portable, Automatic Shut Off, LED Light, Bare Tool Only (DCC020IB) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H39S9JQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

we have a couple, but the one we mainly keep handy is one that plugs into the lighter port to power it. works, takes a while, and one of the 2 heats up pretty good, but it won't run out of juice. just has a really long cable for the lighter plug. I think one has battery clamps too, but never bothered. The 2022 Brand C work truck has no lighter ports, guess when I found that out? Anyway, OP isn't asking about those.

I've had two smaller rechargeable pumps that I bought off amazon. Initially I intended to use it just for my bicycle, but they worked on the car as well (albeit slowly) This first one has more then doubled in price since I bought it in 2022, Would I pay the new, higher price? No, but for the $32.xx I originally paid I would. This thing was a trooper. I got a pin hole in the sidewall of my tire (toyota corolla) shortly after I bought the tires. Tires didn't have the replacement coverage I thought I had gotten, and I didn't have the coin (or desire) to buy a tire at the time. EVERYDAY for 5 months, I used it to pump the tire from 15-20 PSI to 40 PSI first thing in the morning. Would take about 6 minutes. Pump never did die, but it reached a point where it wasn't pumping 100%. Still works on my bike, forget about using it on a car now. TGBOX tire inflator When I went to replace the first one, it wasn't available, so I tried something different. It's louder and runs hotter than the first one did. I'm not doing daily pump ups like I did before, but if I need to add a few pounds here and there it works great. SUNPOW tire inflator With both of them, I was looking for something small to carry with me on my bike. With both, the charge lasts a considerable amount of time and can be charged at home or in your car. With either one, it might do a tire from dead-flat but you'd need to help it some by taking the weight off the tire. Even so, plan on being there awhile. Keep in mind, I'm talking 'normal' sized car tire, not some monster mudder tire or semi truck tires. I'd never go back to a plug into a cigarette lighter small compressor.

I've had two Chinesium versions of these inflators. Both died after a couple months. If you dissect them you find a poorly designed cheap piece of crap. And that's being generous.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C36BBF7Y?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsI got this one. Works pretty fast on small car tires as far as topping off. Not sure how fast it would be on a completely flat tire. Has light and usb port for phone. I'm comparing this to a corded one that I have and it's a bit quicker. I bought it to top off some riding lawn mower tires that lose a bit of air between mowings at my mom's house.

I still haven't pulled the trigger and bought one yet but I hadn't thought about higher pressure tires. All mine are 35 to 45 psi but that may not always be the case. One reason I was looking at craftsman was the batteries. I currently have tools with 4 brands of batteries and was hoping to not add a 5th but I am liking some of the others. Time is not too big of a deal, 5 to 10 minutes isn't a deal breaker. Thank you all for the advice.
