It achieves more powerful inflation with 1.97CFM and increases service life by 30%, perfect for any set of tires (Maximum 33-inch tires).
- 25-MINUTE CONTINUOUS WORKING TIME: Featuring TurboRise Technology, the T4 truck air compressor has a longer and more stable runtime of 25 minutes. It can inflate one more tire than the average. (Note: Please turn off the portable air compressor for 10 minutes before using it again.) Moreover, it’s capable of inflating 275/60R20 tires from 40PSI to 45PSI within 38 seconds and 36PSI to 45PSI within 1.25 minutes.
- EXTENDED POWER CABLE & LED LIGHT: This 12V air compressor has a 4.9m (16.1-ft) air hose and a 2.5m (8.2-ft) power cord, making it easy to reach including pickup tires. It’s also perfect for pickup trucks, jeeps, off-road vehicles, 4x4s, RVs, and SUVs. The LED light illuminates automatically when the small electric air compressor is on, making inflation in dim areas easier.
The AstroAI T4 Heavy-Duty Air Compressor is well made. It features a handle on top with a built-in LED display and buttons for selections of pressures, measurement type options, etc. There are rubber feet on the bottom and holders on the sides for the included nozzles. There is a built-in hose with a standard connection and built-in alligator clips for the power connection. There is also a main on/off switch and a light on the front.
Performance
The AstroAI T4 Heavy-Duty Air Compressor works well as designed. It is well-built and thoughtfully designed. It feels like quality and comes with everything needed to use it to its full potential. Like any good air pressure machine, it offers the industry standard choices for selecting pressure, and the long built-in hose adds to its versatility and usefulness.
The air pressure is strong and consistent and I like that I can adapt it for use with a benchtop power supply and its alligator clips.
Overall, this is a nice addition to my workshop. I can always throw it in the included storage/carrying bag and head out on the road. It fits in the saddlebags on my motorcycles and of course in the bed of my truck.
