    I had an Aldi one for like 2 years believe it or not. It would get super hot, but I could do 35 psi in my Tundra if I wanted. Then it literally all just fell apart. And now here we are 🫤

      I also have one of the newer gen Ryobi pumps and can confirm it’s great. Never had to use it for a fully flat tire but have used it to get to a tire shop when I ran over a nail. And the amount of accessories it comes with lets you inflate lots of different things.

      I rotate the battery with other tools so that it’s not left fully charged for too long but it otherwise lives in the car.

      I believe it, I’ve just never had any luck with plugin compressors, or really, any automotive 12v device. They’ve all either been a bit knaf or killed the outlets.

      Spec sheet on the Ryobi pump says it can do 160psi, though I’ve never had cause to test that. Highest pressure tire I have is on my yard truck at work (100 psi), and they have a built in air compressor. At some point I should see if the Ryobi can actually bring those tires up to pressure.
