Automatic Air
Set it, and forget it-that's what the new line of portable air compressors from Viair allows you to do. The 400P- and 450P-Automatic will shut off air delivery as soon as a preset pressure level is reached. That means, rather than rushing from the tire back to the compressor to shut it off, all you'll have to do is let the compressor run until your tire is full. Both units are capable of 150 psi maximum working pressure and come with their own gas-station-style tire-inflation gun and high-performance, onboard, air-pressure gauge. Each compressor also includes a heavy-duty carrying bag, battery connection cables, and a kit full of inflation tips.Viair(800) 618-1994 www.viaircorp.com
