Questions people ask
What is the maximum pressure?
100 PSI, according to the seller [1]. That covers normal car tyre pressures. Check the figure in your vehicle handbook.
Can I use it to inflate an air bed or a ball?
The seller says it comes with adaptors for inflatables such as sports balls and air beds [1].
Does it have a light?
Yes. The seller lists an LED lamp with light, flash and SOS settings [1].
Does it work without the engine running?
It plugs into the 12 V socket, so that depends on whether your car supplies power to the socket with the engine off. Check your vehicle handbook.
Alternatives

Our verdict
Based on the evidence, this suits drivers who want a simple plug-in inflator that goes up to 100 PSI. Look elsewhere if you want cordless operation or need confirmed size, weight and warranty. This is a research summary, not a test result.
