Thinking about getting one.My truck has a 400 watt 110 outlet other vehicles don't.Worth buying 12/110 one or just buy a 12 v one.Will the 400 watt inverter even run it .Any decent ones to buy?

Another consideration:
I have Milwaukee tools and bought a Milwaukee battery powered compressor. I believe DeWalt, Mikita and others have their own. It's small enough that it fits under my rear seat along with all my other essential crap.

It doesn't have a huge capacity, but enough to fill a full sized tire, or I recently used it to top off 4 trailer tires. The portability is nice.

In regards to the 400watt outlet. with my Milwaukee chargers, I have to watch which charger I use. A combo 18V/12V rapid charger draws too much and trips the outlet. A combo 18V/12V standard charger runs without an issue. I also have a dual 12V/110V Milwaukee charger that works.

I have the Dewalt version and as gsganzer noted they aren’t fast or have a large duty cycle. What they are is handy and better than nothing. If I wanted something bigger and better I’d look at the Puma line of dc compressors. Good luck, Dave
