Portable jump box with air compressor

[grizzly72]

Hi, looking to buy a good one.. Need one that will pump up a truck tire and must jump start v8 or diesels.. anybody with any good recommendations I would appreciate it.. thanks

Saint Todd to the rescue. Although we use a separate Viair pump (model 90P - now discontinued) as we also have trailer tires to inflate.

We have a Gooloo jump pack.

Have you had good luck with goo loo

gooloo has had a good name on this forum. I’ve got 2 NOCO 1000A units and they have been good to use. After reading about VIAR compressors, I bought one for each of my kids and then recently one for myself when my old Autozone unit failed in front of Lowes. VIAR is a step up from the average offerings.

But, IDK if you’ll find lithium jump packs combined with the compressor? Those may still be lead acid? Or just buy them separately and carry them in a small bag?

Yeah, I carry separate devices. Not planning for a flat tire and dead battery simultaneously.

Recommend two items that are great for purpose , not one that compromises.

I keep both a NOCO jump pack and a Milwaukee M12 inflator in the back, amongst a tool kit. Both work great for their specific needs and are small enough to not be in the way.

Ironically, I see NOCO now has their own combo unit.

Had one of these for several years now. Mainly used it to fill tractor tires and jump them off.

I have one of these in my wife’s car and I like it.

Yes, two winters and my son uses it with his laptop on trips.

Bought AntiGravity when they were one of the first LiFe units. Gooloo works just as well.

The Viair pump we bought has alligator clips rather than a 12V plug. 12V plugs are limited to 180 watts so direct battery connection is a little faster. And you can use the jump pack as a power source.

Have a small Slime pump for my motorcycle. They don’t have great ratings but it’s 10 years old and still works.

Viair is a mid-range pump. Off roaders who deflate/ reflate all the time buy more expensive units. The Viair works for us.
