Black & Decker ASI500 High-Performance Cordless Inflator is an air station that offers incredible convenience. Featuring long-lasting cordless power, this inflator will give you the versatility you need, when and where you need it, whether you're at home or on the road.
The ASI500 inflator can be operated from you vehicle's 12-volt DC power outlet, or it can be powered by its own internal 12-volt battery for cordless convenience. Be sure to charge the inflator from a wall/120-volt AC outlet for four to five hours, and it will be ready to handle a variety of common objects.
Two Inflation Settings for Any Job
Featuring two pressure settings, the ASI500 can handle just about anything you throw at it. The low-pressure setting is ideal for rafts or mattresses, and the high-pressure setting is perfect for bike and car tires.
In fact, when with the high-pressure setting, you can inflate a completely flat full-sized tire on just a single charge.
Built-In Gauge with Auto Shut-Off for Accuracy
To ensure optimum accuracy, an auto shut-off feature allows you to get within +/- 1 PSI of your required inflation pressure. To avoid over/under inflation or blowouts, just set your desired PSI on the ASI500's digital gauge and then inflate--the air station will shut off at your preset PSI. You can also periodically check your item's pressure via the gauge, which is backlit for easy reading.
Easy to Transport and Store
With a small profile and weighing just 5.2 pounds, the ASI500 is portable and easy to store. Take it with you to your child's soccer game, the beach, or on camping trips, and store it in your trunk or garage between uses.
For added convenience, this air station also features a quick-connect hose and on-board accessory storage, so you can keep track of the included cords, needles, and hoses.
The ASI500 is backed by a one-year warranty.
What's in the Box
ASI500 Cordless Inflator; inflator hose; air pump hose; three accessories; and charger.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Great air station, but keep the manual
This compressor/inflator is very attractive. It is also lightweight and all the accessories with the exception of the charger store right on the unit.
I have owned compressors and I have owned high volume inflators. However, I have not owned a unit that includes both functions, and none of my units have ever been cordless.
Mounted on the front of the unit are three connectors for inflatables and balls. The high volume hose has a large connector and there is also a high volume adapter for pushing in the internal flap of some inflatables. On the front is an LED light for working in the dark.
The digital dial is bright and easy to read both in daylight and at night, and it has a sleep mode to save battery life.
Right out of the box, I see nothing but perks.
THE OPERATION
Operating the pump was not intuitive. First, I hooked up the pump to the tire and pushed the power button. That is the logical thing to do, and all...

Died after one year
UPDATE 3/23/11: Died. Simply won't work anymore. It's been charged, plugged in to the car accessory port, and the thing simply will not turn on. The digital readout just blinks. Very frustrating. So I guess the lesson here is: don't buy! Changed my 3-star review to 1-star to reflect the failure.
Original review 2/2010: For whatever reason, I have amassed several portable air pumps over the years, apparently attempting to get the "best" one. I've decided there simply isn't one. This one is close, but suffers the same problem my other battery-operated pump had: it HAS to be charged for it to work, and for it to be charged, it must be plugged into a wall socket for a number of hours. Adding to this is that the unit comes with a cigarette-adapter plug, which aids in powering the unit while running the unit (the other battery-operated unit need this too.) To fill all four car tires, it's pretty much a necessity to make use of the adapter.
Operation is...
Nice compact portable inflator
I have been using Black & Deckers ASI300 Air Station for over a year and can safely say that the ASI500 is a much better product. The one marked area of improvement is that the ASI500 is cordless. No more need to drag an extension cord around the car. After reading through the manual, and using the ASI500's digital pressure gage, I checked the tire pressure on one tire. After some trial and error, I was able to go through setting the recommended shut off pressure on the digital gage and inflated our van's tires. I was able to test the claim Black & Decker make about being able to fill four tires on one charge. Without charging, and using only the out of the box factory charge, this was accomplish leaving very little power to spare. I'm guessing that after a full charge the claim would be easily achieved. The ASI500 air station is very compact and easy to carry around. It has all the accessories for car, truck, bicycle, air mattress and all the sports balls. The unit comes...
