Tire Pump For The Garage

superduty · 01-31-2010, 06:46 PM

I posted this question over in the Maintenance area and got nada. Thought I try over here. Anyway I've been using a Sears Crapsman 120V tire pump on my vehicles. It's bit the dust and I'd like another. Problem is everyone I've seen around is made in China (Sears, Porter Cable, etc.). Anyone know if a high quality small portable pump that runs off 120V. Don't need a compressor, already have one. TIA.

something wrong with things made in china? I've had mine for 5+ years now and still works

I use a Michelin double barrel foot pump, works great.

If you got a compressor, what do you want with a portable? 50-100ft hose is probably a better investment in general.

What a bunch if asinine replies.

What planet are you guys on? It has more to do w/ paying good money for items of marginal quality made in a country that already owns too much of us than it does with having a "Made in the USA" label. Get a frick'n clue.

Running a three stage 220V compressor with an 80 gallon tank to add a couple of pounds of air in a tire is plain stupid. But then again, intelligence does seem to be particularly prevalent here.
