Anyone here use this portable inflator from Craftsman? It looks like a nifty gadget for a sag and doesn't take up much room. Is it faster than a floor pump say to 100 psi? How many tubes can it inflate per charge?

buddy of mine uses it, modified the hose/chuck to accept this head, and routinely inflates his kid's TT wheels to 140 with it.

It works great! Modified mine with a Topeak hose with Smarthead.

From 0 psi to full would probably take longer than a good floor pump but with much less effort. For top-ups it's fantastic. I took care of our team of 7 riders at Redlands and Sea Otter....recharged the battery before each event and had plenty to top up all bikes and spares for the duration. I carry an extra battery just in case.

I'll second that. We have one at the shop I work at and I "borrow" it for the weekend CX races. Faster to fill a 700c road tire with a floor pump, but we hand it to the sales guy and he fills up all the tires on the floor with it. Digital gauge is very accurate.
