    Don’t buy the cheapest tho, look online for one that has metal piston & cogs (are are only slightly more expensive, or perhaps even not more expensive).

    The plastic ones break easily when heated (5 ~ 10 minutes).

    But yeah, why not just pump the air at gas stations?
    They usually have to recertify the gauges once a year.

      You are absolutely right about heat. They get hot

      As for free air, more and more gas stations have attached credit card machines to their pumps. Having to hunt for ones that haven’t had become a chore. Also, it is so helpful to just have it on hand at any time.
