Last winter, in minus 20C (-4F), I needed to get to a medical appointment and when I started my car, my tire pressure monitor indicator light went on. Which is horrible, because it means that you might need to buy a new pair of tires, if you have an un-repairable puncture in one. Or, you could just need to add some air. But you really can't drive the car to the gas station to pump more air into it to find out, because if you do need air, you could find yourself driving on one of (my) expensive winter alloy rims, which can do serious damage.
At the time, we were having some work done in our house, and one of the workmen asked me what was wrong. I explained, and he ran to his car and came back with this small kit that plugged into my cigarette lighter and he was able to tell me within 2 minutes that my tire was down from 35 psi to 34 psi, and he was also able to pump up the tire with this little device he had.
So when I saw this little device he had on Amazon, I pounced on it, because I never want to be stuck in that kind of situation again.
I am amazed how small this device is and how much is packed into it. The adapters fit into the machine itself. One was stuck in there, which is why you see all of them out except one in the photo. As you can see from the photos, there are adapters to fit not only tires, but sports balls, bike tires, toys, and several other things. It has a digital display, and can plug into the cigarette lighter or USB. There are also several pre-set modes and a wide range of psi and other pressure settings to chose from.
I used this to pump up a soccer ball and it was super fast and did the job. Even if I use it only once for a car tire, it will be worth it. I recommend this product.
