Note that the air flow rate is so much faster than you would expect, even in large tires, that the inflation must be monitored visually at all times. The tire pressure could easily reach dangerous levels if you take your eyes off the gauge while the compressor is running.
Remember to wear gloves to protect your hands during use. When you try to disengage the hose coupler or if you try to touch the top of the cylinder and air fittings you will burn your skin.
Do not use this compressor with a vehicle engine turned off. You will quickly take too much charge out of your battery, unless it is brand new. All automotive batteries are subject to aging over time, losing about 20% of energy storage capacity every year. A starter motor only needs a small amount of energy to start an engine, about 150 Amps for 5 seconds. You never notice the gradual loss of capacity until you do something stressful to the battery and suddenly find it dead.
This compressor uses over 40 AMPS of current. For an older battery, this could drain all the energy out of it in a few minutes. A large new battery might be able to run this compressor for 30 to 40 minutes. Every time you do that kind of discharge to an automotive lead acid battery you shorten its life.
A couple of quick notes to new buyers.
1 - If possible, keep your vehicle running. It'll provide a lot more power for the pump to draw off of, and will work much better (and cooler)
2 - Be CAREFUL after it's been running for a bit. It gets hot enough to burn you if you're not careful.
3 - Turn the pump on BEFORE connecting it to your tire. Says it right there in the manual, and takes stress off the pump when connecting it.
4 - We were able to fill up 6 and a half 35" tires back to back (not turning it off) before it tripped the overheat protection. It took about 10 minutes for it too cool down enough to resume, but it was impressive considering how long it was running.
5 - There are a number of pumps that are identical to this, but are branded differently. One such pump (won't mention the name, but it's red) is both less expensive, and has a uncoiled/straight hose rather than the coiled hose which comes with the smittybilt. I'd opt for that one instead, as the hose is just easier to manage. Regardless, both are great pumps.
It's a fantastic pump. I've had a previous one for a couple of years, and recently gifted it to my daughter for her own off-road rig.
I am running 35x12.5r15 BFG KM3’s. This compressor took me from 20 psi to 37 psi in 3 minutes. Very capable, Fast, “Little” compressor.
Overall I am happy.
**Things to mention:
-The fittings are Not Standard.
-This compressor is much larger than I had anticipated. (See Photo in the trunk of my TJ)
-It does get hot, Be careful.
-The supplied bag is Junk.
-It moves around while on.

1. Inflated my Jeep’s 33’s from 20 psi to 37 psi in about 90 seconds.
2. Never failed or even struggled to fill the tires.
3. Compressor got submerged in water for over five hours and after a thorough drying, it still worked when tried two weeks later. I’m still using it.
4. I have read that others have experienced overheating but I never experienced that. Sure, it got very warm after ten minutes of continuous use, but it never shut down.
The bad:
1. The carrying bag is very thin and develops rips and holes easily.
2. The pressure gauge is way off, but consistent. After off-roading I always inflated the tires back to 37 psi. On the gauge however this showed up as 51 psi. So I always inflated to 51 psi gauge and as a check used a separate gauge. The second gauge always indicated 37 psi, so the compressor gauge is consistent.
3. Having to thread the hose onto the valve stem is not ideal, but it works and does not leak.
4. Two connections have to be made to connect the three hose components before use. Afterwards, the components have to be disconnected to get everything back in the bag.
In summary, I don’t regret my purchase. It does the important thing very well which is pump a lot of high pressure air quickly. If/when this one conks out I will be replacing it with another just like it.
Top reviews from other countries
Fills up my 33s from 10psi in less that 2 min to 35psi
What I don't like is how when it's inflating the pressure gauge reads higher than what you actually have in the tire, so you have to turn off the pump and check...roughly reads 5 psi higher when running than actual pressure
The only thing I don't like is the air gauge on the hose. The compressor puts out so much air that it can't stuff it through the tire valve fast enough, so the air gauge reads a lot higher than the tire itself. Not a reason to not buy it, just means it's that quick, and you have to stop inflating to check the tire pressure.
