Pump For Tires


Anybody have a pump you would recommend? I'm going to have to deflate my tires to transport my Croozer for now and I'd like to know what others use.

Thanks!

I like one of those portable tanks from harbor freight. I have space for my truck for it though. My buggy tires go flat in about a day and sometimes I need the pressure to reset the bead. A hand pump won't work for that.

Hmmm, I think I'm gonna get a compressor. Sounds easy :). And I'll make room lol. There are smaller ones that won't take too much room. Thanks guys.

I got a little 12v one at Wallyworld for $ 17. It's about 8" square and 3" thick.

I also carry a small electric air pump that plugs into the car with about 12' of cord, hummmmmmmms like you wouldnt believe(hahahaha) but does pump up the tires.
Those beach racers will take a bit of time to inflate, just dont break the bead!!!!!! If you do break the bead, head to the gas station and take lots of quarters.

Man, I am going to miss that bug.:(
(don't leave it alone on the beach for more than a second or 2, some kid named Jeff will run off with it and you wont see it till dark):lol:

Must have one of those! I have lots of the batteries for drill, flashlight, arc inflator and reciprocating saw for tree trimming. I like that you don't have to wrestle with the cord that sometimes doesn't quite reach.

If you didn't cut the cord with the saw, it would reach.:P
