Is this strong enough for the occasional tire inflation? I plan to use for airbrush, but it'd be nice to use for other tasks.

I don't think it would work well to inflate a tire. You'd need an adapter for one thing, and I think the total pressure produced is probably too low. I'd recommend you buy a combination tire inflator/battery jumper and keep it in your car.

Have used it to inflate t0 80psi but difficult to use at that pressure, maybe that Im a weakling

It does a good job. If the tire is really low, the unit will probably need to be connected to a power source because the tank does not hold that much air

Sometimes you can get a couple of uses out of it. Depending how big your tire is and how much pressure you put in it. Thank you Dana

My husband used his air compressor. Any gas station would have one for tires. Maybe you could try that for free?I even use this great exercise ball at my desk to get exercise while typing away!

I use mine for this, and it is great to be able to increase the firmness by just opening the valve. For me the valve is able to hold whatever pressure I set, and the self inflating feature is excellent. Mine is 2.5 years old, and I am very happy with it.

This compressor was made strictly for airing up tires. It has battery clamps to car battery, no converter to run off an outlet. The valve stem tool does not come off, not interchangeable with other tools. It will inflate a car tire in under 2 minutes, so for the intended purpose it works great. I've not tried it on smaller things so don't know the ratings of cfm. I suppose a person could custom modify it if one knew how to attach fittings.

I have used this only for my mountain bike. It works great for that, but I think you would have difficulty removing the tire with the tool and the 3 CO2 cartridges may not be enough to inflate it.

I haven't really used it for high pressure use because it took 12 minutes to air a car tire up from being totally flat, so no I don't think the pressure is strong enough.

I imagine it could be, but I would think it would take quite awhile to fill a tire. It's a small compressor, because the air bags don't take much air.

Pretty much this is your gadget. Excellent for inflating small toys, bike tires in a few seconds. With car tires, inflation from zero pressure can be accomplished, but not recommended routinely. For top ups of under inflated auto tires, this is your handy tool. The storage tank holds enough for a remote inflation if a power supply is not available. Just remember to drain the storage tank of air when you are finished for the day!!Darin

Yes. This gun is a high volume low pressure gun. Small projects like your talking about is perfect for the air compressor your using.

Air always escapes through the walls of anything plastic -- like balloons, for example. That's science. Auto tires, too, which is why you have to add air periodically, and tires are a lot thicker than the walls of this pillow. So if you get four uses out of it before adding air, I'd say that's pretty good. If it doesn't hold air for one use, then you'd have an issue to complain about.

I'm not sure i haven't used it for anything more than tires. So far i am not impressed i could only get about 5 lbs of air in my tire before the pressure went down to the point i had to wait for the pressure to build up again.

I tried to inflate it with an air compressor i usually use for tires & it worked a little but the hose was not the same size as the inflation valve so I could not get a good seal going on & ended up finishing blowing the thing up the old fashioned way (with my own hot air) while making a mental note to purchase an air pump made for air mattresses. I. Have 2 of these air mattresses & they have held up very well through several camping trips & sleepovers with kids jumping on them.

no.....this is more of a slow steady air source which works great for tires. For what you want I'd look at something like this... The Source S-KIT10 High Performace Portable Air System

Hey Nick , I'm not sure what your wanting to use this for but it is a very good airbrush compressor for airbrushing .
