I bought this hand held air compressor in the hopes that it would work in my unique application which is to be able to air up the drag slicks on the race car. And does this do the job in spades. I am very pleased with the results and am pleased with the battery life. It will not only air up your basketball/soccer/football in short order, but it will air up one of my race car drag slicks (26X8.5)from 9 psi to 13 psi in about one min. or less. That may not seem like a lot of pressure change, but it is a lot of volume change in a race slick. It is very portable and can be charged from the wall or a cig. lighter. Am very pleased with this item and would recommend it with out question.

First let me say that I've had two Airman pumps for almost 8 years each. They have been reliable and handy saving me many trips to the gas station. Not to mention helping with other uses around the house since they come with multiple tip adaptors.The nicad battery packs have since given up the ghost and no longer accept charges but in fairness they lasted longer than I expected for nicads anyway. I happily continued using the pumps with the included cigarette lighter adaptor.
Now my oldest pump is not generating any output pressure. Time for a rebuild. In the hopes that ActiveTools sold repair parts or at least offered a repair service I emailed ActiveTools USA directly.
No response. Not even after two attempts. Nothing, nadda, zippo.
Not even a redirection of my email "help" request to a different department.
I'm not completely surprised in this day and age. But I am disappointed because I specifically chose Airman (after much research) over several other cheapo, made-in-China, disposable, "use once and throw away" products. In fact, it was quite easy to find junk pumps everywhere and very difficult to find a quality pump.
You could say I got my moneys worth after all these years. But it's a shame to throw away a perfectly repairable product that has served me well for years simply because the manufacturer doesn't have their customer service act together.
