Worked...while it worked.

Would Not Recommend

Won't charge less than a year after purchase. Pass at Lowe's price. Maybe the sales price around $20.

worked one time

Would Not Recommend

I got this as a gift. It worked one time. Now it won't hold a charge. Battery indicator says it is fully charged but drops down to 1 bar when it's turned on. I am using the supplied charger. Won't inflate anymore. truly disappointed

TRASH DO NOT BUY - DO NOT BUY CRAFTSMAN

Lasted about a month, got the same reply from craftsman as the other person on here. Craftsman won't help and tell you to contact another company. Craftsman used to mean quality, now it means garbage. Last craftsman purchase I'll ever make. Buy this if you like flushing money down the drain.

Handy Item for travelling

Would Recommend

As described and quite robust. I like the ability to charge and use from a car 12V port in addition to the built in battery.

Alaskan approved

Would Recommend

As an Alaskan low tires can be a normal accurance. This helps tremendously! I love that there are 2 charge options for use (wired or wireless) Also being able to set the PSI and it automatically shuts off when it reaches it is extremely helpful.

Warning: Crasftsman doesn’t stand behind this item

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Battery died a few months in, won’t power on unless plugged into a charger. Support is inexistant, Craftsman doesn’t handle it themselves and sent you to some supplier, which in turn doesn’t provide any replacements, only spare parts. The battery isn’t user serviceable so that’s just good for the trash it seems.

Nice Inflator

Would Recommend

It is small, self contained - no extra battery needed, can be used either from the internal battery or car outlet. The only downside is that when the battery goes bad it cannot be replaced.

Compact & easy to store

Would Recommend

Purchased as a secret santa gift for family get together. It was a big hit and was "stolen" several times within the group. The person that ended up with the air inflator wished she had one sooner. It's compact, has a storage bag and was charged right out of the box.

Great for emergency.

Would Recommend

Not for everyday inflating tires, but excellent if you need to limp home with a slow leak.
