Default Best portable tire inflator

With the anxiety of having only run-flat tires, what portable tire inflator do you carry in your NX? Something that'll stow easily in the 350h, specifically. Thanks!

I bought this off Amazon last year and it's been my favorite one I've owned.

I carry a tire inflator in my trunk but I cannot remember the name of it. Having said that I carry in both our vehicles a bicycle tire pump. A total accumulation between myself and my wife probably have driven 1.4 million miles. When I was working I was putting on 40,000 miles a year. I've had one blowout and that was actually 2 months ago. Almost all the flats I get are nails with slow leaks. So I just pulled the bicycle pump out pump up 4-5 lb take it to a tire place and get it fixed.

I have a set of these in our household's 3 cars, along with a gallon of Crystal Geyser water, a few high energy bars, an old Northface ski jacket and an old throw in a small duffle.

I recently bought one of this for my teenage son's car, just in case he needs a patch in a hurry. My wife's 24 350h has RFs, so she doesn't get one. I know how to change tire fairly quickly, so i didn't get one.

BTW, my wife's 350h just had its first flat a couple of weeks ago, a nail right in the center of the left rear tire and the tire was on 21PSI. She drive home without even noticing it or feeling anything strange. She did noticed the little tire warning light in the dash...........
So I pumped it up with the tire inflator, drove straight to Americas Tire store and they were able to patch it.

I bought a Teramos Tire inflator from Amazon. Works beautifully. Digital, both AC and DC. Set the psi you want. push the start button, in it inflates to the pressure you have set. Works very fast. Checked the pressure with my gauge, and it was right on.

I bought this one--delivery tomorrow from Amazon.
DEWALT 20V MAX Tire Inflator, Compact and Portable, Automatic Shut Off, LED Light, Bare Tool Only (DCC020IB) DEWALT 20V MAX Tire Inflator, Compact and Portable, Automatic Shut Off, LED Light, Bare Tool Only (DCC020IB)

I also have a different one in the car ((have to go look under the mat to see the brand) but it inflates and can spray a product inside the tire to help close the leak.

I have had this one for about a year now. BEST INFLATOR EVER !!!!

Make sure you get the case for it... as you know, an expensive tool. Keep it protected. I'll go get the Amazon link for you.

I keep it in the trunk under the floor where a spare typically goes. It's right next to my NOCO Jump Pak
