REVIEW – My garage workshop is primarily designed as a bike-oriented DIY/MOD/upgrade shop. I work on bicycles, E-bikes, E-motorcycles, and motorcycles. In addition, I have a trailer and a few cars to maintain. Then there are my daughter’s soccer balls, the kids’ basketballs, the air-inflated pool, etc. One certain thing is that I will always need a portable air inflator around my home and sometimes on the go. Enter the ETENWOLF Vortex S6 Tire Inflator.

The ETENWOLF Vortex S6 Tire Inflator is a lightweight and compact device. It features a large rotary dial on the front with surrounding buttons for the controls. There is an LED display in the middle of the dial. On the back are the included nozzles that sit in their respective mounts, and on the bottom at the back is a USB-C port for charging and a USB-A port for charging accessories via the built-in battery. On one side, there are ports for inflating or deflating via the included hose, and there are vents on the other side.

Performance
The ETENWOLF Vortex S6 Tire Inflator is lightweight, compact, and easy to charge and use. The device feels sturdy and it pushes a nice volume of air. I like that the LED on the dial on the front is bright and that selecting measurements for air is easy. The nozzles all work well, and the auto shut-off is a nice feature. The built-in LED light on the handle will work great if on the road and light is needed,d plus the strobe feature will work nicely as an alert or to get attention.
I like the inflate and deflate options, and I like that everything that is needed to use the device is included. The carrying bag is not hefty, so I will see how long it will hold up to zipping and unzipping. The built-in large-capacity battery is great since I should be ok if I am unable to recharge the inflator between uses. With this size battery, I should still have charge left to use it again and with the additional USB port, to charge some other accessories. I do not doubt that this inflator can work on a vehicle larger than my full-size Toyota Tundra Crewmax. The only slight negative I have found is that this inflator is quite loud.

Final thoughts
The ETENWOLF Vortex S6 Tire Inflator is a nice and compact tire inflator with a built-in battery making it completely portable. I can carry it with my gear wherever and whenever. It provides great inflation pressure that works on my large Tundra. Its large dial allows for easy adjustments of settings, and the ability to charge other devices from its battery rounds out its usefulness.
