At least if you purchase the Good Year pump you could just sit on top of it, turn it on, and that thing will drive you home itself.

Instead of banning plastic straws, maybe they should ban plastic gears.

Your channel is truly the Gold Standard of consumer product testing, especially for us handyman, diy mechanic types.
Keep up the excellent work! 👍👍

Needed one of these in a pinch and all they had at the local Walmart was the hyper tough, which based on this video is a solid choice and I can vouch for its effectiveness. Thanks Project Farm!

This is completely unrelated to the video content, but I noticed on every video, he responds to nearly every single comment. That is true fan service and dedication to your craft right there! Also, you consistently produce unique and interesting test ideas, but all of them are practical for everyday consideration, especially this video. Keep up the good work man!

You know you're getting old when you call the 12v outlets cigarette lighters and your daughter calls them phone chargers.

Great video, definitely gave me a better understanding of what to look for in a portable pump. I've heard from a lot of different people that portable tire pumps are unreliable and fail in short order. This video perfectly demonstrates why. If you put max 10 minutes on the packaging and the pump can't survive running for atleast 15 people are going to break it. Especially if it cannot reach the pressure specified after 10 minutes and there is no thermal shutoff (eventhough it's written on the package).

My favorite tire pump was the Shin Woo that was sold at K Mart back in the 80's & made in Taiwan...mine lasted from 1987 till 2020 when it finally died in December, it lasted 33 years under heavy constant use including filling dozens of water cannon fire extinguishers to 125-150 psi as well as lots of tires

I don't know what it is - but, through some cosmic anomaly, I always find one of your videos testing out THE EXACT THING I NEED but know nothing about. your videos have been extraordinarily helpful to me as I navigate unfamiliar territory and I offer you my sincerest thanks!

I've had my Harbor Freight Air Pump for 12 years. It does the job when called on.
Small enough to keep in the the Miata trunk. I couldn't ask for more.

That Hyper Tough is 100% identical to the Slime compressor I carry in my trunk. Have had it for so many years now I don't even know how old it is, but it's still going strong the last time I needed it.

being an older video I was still able to see Husky 12V is a pretty good pump for cars. I bought one today for $30 and this video had everything to do with my purchase. This pump does what I need it to do for the money. If it does well, I will buy the 120V for the garage this summer. Thanks again for another great comparison!

I never thought I’d hear that harbor freight was the “high end” of the competition

[BehzadVaziri]

man I love how this guy is doing the tests. its like he is doing PhD on each review project :)))

[CaseyGoff]

I had to come back to this video to double check. Harbor Freight has their pump on sale for the holiday at $29.99. I picked one up today. Great video and thanks for ALL of the informative videos you make. You're an asset for sure.

[spydergto]

I love how through you are with all your testing you obviously put alot of thought into how your going to do your tests

Everyone: If you get or have one of these things or any high amperage 12v device, spend the extra 5 bucks on a 12v socket with alligator clips and hook'em directly to the battery when using.

Your car's electrical system will thank you (and continue functioning). Most of these seem to keep under a 10A draw *but* I'm sure the cheap ones don't have a soft start and a brushed motor like those are going to have a seemingly insane startup draw, AND the cheapest ones probably aren't fitted with anything to prevent EM spikes or noise.

Now can you have a race with all the pumps to see which one vibrates along the floor the fastest?

I bought a Pittsburg before even coming across this video. I used it once about a week or two ago and I'm super impressed so far. Relatively quiet, filled my tire from 25 psi to 45psi in about 2 minutes or so. Then again I got the 150psi rated version that hooks straight to your car battery. Couldn't go wrong whatsoever. Also helps that I work for HF and got a discount lol
