1.0 out of 5 stars Love Amazon. Hate this product!, September 22, 2007

By 

farmer - See all my reviews

The product description fails to disclose that the battery is LEAD/ACID. In spite of packaging information that states that it's a no-leak battery, I had acid on my counter after the first charge.

To make matters even worse, the fitting attached to the hose that's to be used for valve stems DOES NOT FIT. No matter which position I put the lock lever in, I had to force it over the threads on the stem. This shaves material off the seal in the fitting, leaving debris in the stem. Further, it was impossible to force in on far enough to actually depress the core and pump air into the tire.

I'm a nationally certified automotive master mechanic. It's not that I don't know how to operate these things. . .

Beware!

Amazon Verified Purchase

Although the air compressor appeared to well designed, it did not live up to it's claims. The catalog had indicated that it could be used to inflate auto tires, which is the primary reason I purchased it. But the connector is not compatible with the valve stem of an auto tire!!! It is useless!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Money, July 15, 2008

My experience was similar to the other reviews. The connection doesn't fit and the battery is lead/acid (who would have thought?). To make things even worse, once you get the hose connected, the motor doesn't have enough power to inflate a car tire to 30 lbs.

Returning this thing cost me $9 in postage, plus a write down on the product itself because it was "opened". Save yourself a headache and get an electric unit.
