Do you want it to have 100% duty cycle? How big of an air tank do you want to fill up? Do you need fast fill for the air tank? |

Thanks for the feedback. I need a compressor to inflate my tires. I got a beach permit so after I air down I need to refill them. I tried hooking a compressor up to the cigarette lighter but it didn't work so I was looking into ones that hooked up to the battery. I'm getting an air horn installed though and wanted to see if i could just use the compressor that is going to be hooked up to the horn. |

if the compressor has a resevere tank thats larger than a gallon you might be able to get away with it... most air horn compressors are tiny tho unless you get a huge unit |

Ive had to inflate my tire using the lighter with a craftsman air pump good for 120 psi (it was free) and blown the fuse twice ( i got a ten pack just incase) I was thinking that my next one will have leads to use off the battery. I have a harbor freight in town. Im going to check it out. |

If you get one of these kits you can do both, operate air horns and fill tires. I have a kit like this on my work truck and I can fill an 80 PSI from 0-80 in about 5 minutes. If all you need to do is add 15-20lbs of air you can fill each tire in about a minute. http://www.hornblasters.com/products/ca ... ir-systems |
