Inflators: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. Maintaining proper air pressure in your tires is crucial. Keeping an inflator on hand can help drivers boost their PSI to the proper levels on-the-go, without the help of a professional mechanic. Inflators are designed to fit in most vehicles without taking up too much space. Some weigh as little as six pounds, so anybody can lift and move them as needed.
Fact #2. Most inflators run on 12-volt batteries that can draw power from a car's DC port. They are also designed to recharge within just a few hours when using an AC power supply. Depending on the PSI of pressure that an inflator can produce, some can even fill up oversized truck tires.
Fact #3. Some inflators come with nozzle adapters, allowing one to put air in car tires, bicycle tires, and even basketballs. Good samaritans who want to help people on the side of the road with deflated tires should get a model with an extra long reach. That way, it can connect between the two cars. In the unfortunate event that an accident occurs, having an inflator with reflectors is handy.
Fact #4. An inflator is an important part of any fix-it kit for drivers who like to patch up their own tires. However, the ideal situation is to reduce the possibility of a flat tire in the first place. It's a good idea to visually check your tires about once a week to catch any slow leaks. Not all flat tires come from nails on the road. Some result from a tire that was leaking for a long time, and couldn't handle a sudden 200-mile road trip.
Fact #5. One cause of flat tires that has nothing to do with driver error is vandalism. Drivers should always park their car in well-lit areas, preferably where they can keep an eye on them. Additionally, when a tire becomes worn out in one area, this can cause it to tear open. On top of regularly checking air pressure, drivers should also check to make sure their tires are wearing out evenly.
