There are a variety of capacities, sizes and shapes for portable air compressors, the most common work with 12 Volts, are small and not heavy, and can be connected to your car's cigarette lighter or power outlet.

An air compressor, as its name says, provides compressed air that is used to inflate your car tires, inflatable devices, balls, compressed air storage tanks and other applications. It’s a very useful thing you must have in your car, home and office.

Generally speaking, it has multiple applications and is a not expensive tool that you can buy starting at $12.00. Where? You can buy it online. Some tool stores may have it too. If you have this device on your car you can solve the problem of a flat or low inflated tire. It happens all the times that if you have to use your spare tire, it is out of air, so you cannot use it and you can be sitting for hours waiting for help, remembering that you saw this article and did nothing, but if you have your portable compressor you can inflate your spare tire and use it in minutes. Even if you do not have a spare, you can also re-inflate your loosing air tire several times until you reach the next service station.

Personally, I used this device 2 times when I was on the road and had a loosing air tire, I took out the jack when I was cleaning my truck and forgot to put it back in, so I was not able to change the tire. I re-inflated it 3 times before I had it repaired.
