Customers like the air pump. It's a handy little compressor for home and car, inflating things quickly. They say it works well, is fairly quiet, and can inflate tires easily. Some find it versatile and powerful, with storage of the power cord and inflation hose.

"...This Craftsman has more features, inflates more quickly, and is cheaper than the B and D product (or it was when I bought it.)..." Read more

"...options are vast and this has got to be most versatile and powerful pump out there...." Read more
Customers appreciate the air pump's accuracy. They find the pressure settings accurate, with a range of 1 pound for most purposes. The machine turns off when it reaches the set pressure, and the target pressure display is easy to read. It fills up low-pressure, regular 19-inch car tires fairly quickly in 20-40 seconds. The digital PSI gauge is easy to read, and customers find it an excellent tool for maintaining tire pressure on all their vehicles and lawns.

Customers have mixed opinions about the air pump's value for money. Some find it acceptable and inexpensive, while others feel it works slowly and is overpriced. The cord is short, making it impractical to use without a battery setup.
"...has more features, inflates more quickly, and is cheaper than the B and D product (or it was when I bought it.)..." Read more
"The plug in cord is supper short, less than a food. No battery came with the item so read before you buy. Works great for both bike and auto tires...." Read more
"...Still worth it. The other brand mentioned only has a battery option." Read more
"...It was a piece of garbage from China. This Craftsman inflator works great. It can run off household current or the cigarette lighter in your car...." Read more
Customers have different views on the air pump's battery life. Some find it useful to use an existing battery from other Craftsman tools, a car 12V plug, or a 120V wall plug. Others mention that it doesn't come with a battery, the battery drains quickly if left in use, and the AC power is short.
"...It works equally well via the 110V plug and the car cigarette style adapter. I highly recommend this model to anyone that asks." Read more
"...makes this unit perfect... My only complaint is that the battery drains if left in it... But it's not a huge deal... just need to note it..." Read more

"The plug in cord is supper short, less than a food. No battery came with the item so read before you buy. Works great for both bike and auto tires...." Read more
Customers have issues with the air pump's functionality. They mention it doesn't work half the time, the 20V Craftsman battery didn't work at all, and the pressure shut off doesn't appear to work. The power is not good, so inflating car tires is slow. The tire inflator option won't work on DC or AC power without an extension cord. There are also electrical issues and after 1 year it can no longer be used with a battery, unless that battery is fresh.
"Doesn't really work." Read more
"Firstly... it is NOT intuitive! I couldn't figure out why the thing wouldn't turn on when I attached it to the tire...." Read more
"...quick inflation time, digital pressure display and automatic shutoff, AC power (if you have an outlet handy) and DC power..." Read more
"...It didn’t turn on at all. Hoeever it did work when attaching a battery though. The battery is not included, so keep that in mind...." Read more

- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2023Checking and inflating our cars' tires has always been a frustrating job for me, but this well-designed tire inflator promises to make it easier. It has a combination of features I haven't found on any of the more than several inflators I've used in the past including: a "leakless" thumb-press hose connector, quick inflation time, digital pressure display and automatic shutoff, AC power (if you have an outlet handy) and DC power (to run off your car battery if you don't), easy storage of power cord and inflation hose. Having struggled to neatly stow power cords and inflation hoses after use on other inflators I've had, I especially appreciate the last feature.
It's easy to use the digital gauge to set this inflator to shut off automatically once the tire reaches reaches your selected pressure. Just be sure to follow the instructions to select the pressure and then wait until the gauge reads "0" again before you start the inflator.
I like to keep our cars' tires at 36 psi (cold). After my first use, I'd say this inflator did a pretty good job of hitting the mark, based on my follow up with a digital tire gauge -- trust but verify always being a good idea. Anyway, I can't say for certain that it's always dead on re. selected pressure, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five for accuracy.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2025I replaced an old, very large compressor with this one. I only need to inflate car tires and pool toys. It works great. I love that I can attach the hose to a tire, set a pressure and don't have to hold a chuck onto the valve stem. It is much easier to use. I would buy it again and recommend it to a friend.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2025I've used this tire inflator for the past 4 years and it's one of the best that I've ever owned. It works equally well via the 110V plug and the car cigarette style adapter. I highly recommend this model to anyone that asks.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2024I used Black and Decker Air Stations for ages, until they changed the design to be worse and not work as well. This Craftsman has more features, inflates more quickly, and is cheaper than the B and D product (or it was when I bought it.)
It inflates quickly and doesn't make too much noise. I took one star off for slightly cheesy build quality and a sometimes difficult to read display, but otherwise it works great and tested against three different pressure gages, it seems to be very accurate.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2024Purchased this craftsman V20 air pump along with appropriate battery, thankfully has worked well for me. Very convenient, easy to carry around. Have used to inflate a variety of car, bike, and utility tires, as well as beach toys. Haven't used as a compressor or anything like that.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2025Instructions could have been clearer and bolder. Like steps to use with ac and dc. For instance, I plugged it into garage outlet and did not know where to set the rocker switch (up or down to start filling tire on my truck. It fired right up but did not fill the tire just blew air until I reversed the switch and it filled up tire in a couple minutes and shut off at 36 lb setting. I was more than concerned that it wasn’t working for a bit. Secondly, I would have preferred a screw on tire attachment vs the clampdown connection. A better attachment mechanism would be welcomed. Aside from the above the unit looks and feels strong and heavy and seems like it will last except for that tire valve attachment which probably won’t last as long as the rest of this unit. It is compact and well thought out. Hoping for several good years of inflating joy.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2024This has came in handy multiple times. A coworker had a flat tire and we were able to send him off safely with a tire plug kit and this compressor. Plus it’s easy to just bring this out in the colder months to fill your tires. I always have a craftsman 20v battery in it and it can use the 12v car charger as well. I think everyone should have one of these in their car or truck!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024This is a very handy little air compressor for the home and car. I have found it very easy to use. It’s about the size of a shoe box. It can be powered either from an external wall socket or by the cigarette lighter / 12 volt outlet in the car dashboard. The connecting cord for the wall outlet is only about 12-inches (300 mm) long so you need to have your own extension cord. The included attached cord for connecting to the car 12-volt outlet on the dashboard is several feet (meters) long. You can also power it from a separate detachable battery but you have to order the battery separately — it does not automatically come with the compressor.
One advisory regarding the pressure LED indicator system: you must set the relief pressure before using the compressor or the compressor will not produce any air. That is, a setting of zero does not work. Pressure setting can be selected in psi or kg / square cm.
My only minor criticism is that the air hose for use with car tires is only about 18-inches (450 mm) long.
