Well, here's a random question for the crowd... any recommendations for a portable DC 12V air compressor, preferably one that also has an AC adapter? 
I've had a portal compressor as part of the gear I keep in the back of my vehicle for years now and I think it's finally died. It's a cheap unit that I picked up from Pep Boy's and is easily 15'ish years old. Time for a new one but there's some fancy new models out now that have stuff like digital readouts and included AC adapters for home use (or are they AC units with DC adapters?
) with a huge gap in price range.
The ideal replacement would be something that is durable enough to survive being stored in the back of a vehicle (current one came with a storage bag that it's kept in), would be easily usable with both DC 12V and AC (so I don't have to have the truck running just to inflate my dog's favorite toy ball
), an easy to read PSI gauge, and maybe an option to set the target PSI for 'set & forget' operation?
Any recommendations? Any particular features I should be on the lookout for?
