Wagan Tech AC/DC Digital Tire Inflator

The Wagan AC/DC Digital Tire Inflator Runs From a Wall Outlet or Your Vehicle's 12V Socket and Shuts Off at the Pressure You Set

The Wagan AC/DC Digital Tire Inflator is a portable air compressor with two built-in power cords, a 120V AC plug for a wall outlet and a 12V DC plug for your vehicle's accessory socket. Set the target pressure on the lighted digital display, switch it on, and it turns itself off at that pressure. Wagan's manual lists a maximum pressure of 150 PSI and a flow rate of 18 L/min.

It's made for drivers, cyclists and families who top off tires at home or on the road, and for sports balls, pool toys and beach balls with the included adapter tips.

Wagan AC/DC Digital Tire Inflator Features

Automatic Shut-Off at Your Preset Pressure

Press the plus or minus buttons to set your target. The display blinks 3 times at the preset, then shows the current pressure of the item you're inflating. Switch the inflator on and it stops on its own at the preset. You can change the target during inflation.

Lighted Display in PSI, BAR or kPa

The illuminated display and large buttons are easy to read and press. A unit button toggles the readout between PSI, BAR and kPa.

AC and DC Power in One Unit

An AC/DC switch selects the power source. The inflator needs 12V DC at 10A or 120V AC at 2A. On 12V power, keep the vehicle's engine running for optimal performance.

Easy-Locking Air Nozzle

Flip the thumb latch up, press the nozzle firmly onto the valve stem and push the latch down to lock it in place. For balls and inflatables, insert the matching adapter tip into the unlocked nozzle and lock it the same way.

Storage for Cords, Hose and Adapters

The 13 ft DC cord, 6 ft AC cord and 24 inch air hose tuck into compartments on the unit, and the adapter tips have their own storage spot.

Real-World Applications

Home tire checks. Plug into a wall outlet in the garage and top off car tires to the pressure you set.

On the road. Plug into your vehicle's 12V socket with the engine running and service a tire wherever you've stopped safely.

Bicycles. Fill bike tires after checking the pressure the tire calls for.

Sports and pool gear. Use the adapter tips for sports balls, pool toys and beach balls. Moisten the needle before inserting it into a ball valve.

Practical Comparison

AC/DC Inflator Versus a 12V-Only Inflator

A 12V-only inflator works only near a vehicle socket. This inflator also plugs into a 120V wall outlet, so you can fill bike tires, balls and pool toys at home without running your car.

AC/DC Inflator Versus a Manual Pump

A hand or foot pump needs no power, but you pump every stroke and check the pressure yourself. This inflator shows the pressure and stops at your target.

Buyer Guidance

Know What It's Built For

Wagan's manual says the unit isn't fitted for high-pressure tires such as those on large commercial trucks. Never inflate past the manufacturer's recommendation. The manual puts typical car tires at 30 to 35 PSI depending on the tire, and notes that some racing bicycle tires need more than 75 PSI while other bicycle tires need much less.

Give It Time to Cool

The label on the unit lists a working time of 10 minutes running and 15 minutes rest. If the inflator turns sluggish or the metal fittings get too warm to touch, switch it off and let it cool for about 30 minutes. On 12V power, a slow inflator can also mean low voltage, so check your vehicle's battery. Never leave the inflator unattended while it runs.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You want one inflator for home and the car
• You like setting a target pressure on a display
• You inflate bike tires, balls and pool toys
• You want cords and hose stored on the unit

Common Questions

Can I Plug In Both Cords at Once?

No. Use the 12V DC socket or a 120V AC outlet, never both at the same time, and set the AC/DC switch to match.

What If It Won't Start or Blows Fuses?

Push the plug firmly into the 12V socket and twist it for clean contact, and clear dirt from the socket with a non-conductive probe. Check that the vehicle's socket fuse is at least 15 amps and that the shutoff setting isn't lower than the item's current pressure.

What Warranty Does It Have?

Wagan's manual gives the original purchaser a one-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship for products sold in the United States.
