Those things actually work pretty well. I've used one on my dad's 48 GMC shop truck to pressurize a long gas line for testing purposes. It was about 1/2 mile long, and it made quick work of getting it up to test pressure.

Unfortunately I can't use that in the scenario to air up tires on a non-running vehicle unless I borrow a gasser, as my daily driver is a diesel. If it had spark plug holes, it would probably blow it right out. grin

I like the pancake compressor and generator idea. Always looking for an excuse to buy new tools.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
