This streamlined, sturdy air compressor is perfect for cars and other standard-sized vehicles and is designed for day-to-day use, from blowing up balls to inflating low tires. The HV-40-A2's powerful 12-volts and 150 PSI capacity is comparable to other higher-priced compressors. This unit is unique because of its powerful motor and LED light that has a straight stream or strobes. Flow up to 30 LPM (liters per minute). Features include: 10 foot power cord to reach around the vehicle, detachable hose 16 feet long to connect from compressor to tire, and built in pressure gauge. The unit weighs only 6.1 lbs, and has a rubber leg base to prevent movement when in use. Adapters and carrying bag included.
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.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Decent little pump
Updating review.
It's now May 2012 and the pump is still running like a champ.
Keep in mind I don't use it that often, just once or twice a month.
Plug has held together. I do wish it had a longer cord or hose, but it reaches
every tire I've used it on so far.

Ok.. I didn't get this from Amazon. I got it from Steve's Tools for about 5$ more.
Needed it now because my old crappy $15 pump finally died.
Pros.
Real smooth and well balanced. This thing doesn't jump around at all.
Fill speed is good, but not for large tires.
For those get the version that clamps to battery terminals.
This one topped off my P255-75R15 in decent time.
However, filling up my 60PSI doughnut spare took a while.
I don't think there is much head space for the higher pressures.
This is where the screw-on air chuck was useful.
The pressure gauge actually works and is accurate...

Don't waste your money
Honestly, I was impressed with this compressor when I first opened the box and the first 2 or 3 minutes it ran...
The price wasn't bad but this compressor sucks. If you just need one to fill tires you'd be better off with one of those pieces of crap autozone sells.
To begin with the connecting rod for the piston won't stay attached to the counterweight that mounts to the motor shaft. On top of that the counterweight won't stay attached to the shaft either. After breaking about 90psi with this thing the connecting rod and/or counterweight comes free and just bangs around inside the plastic cover.
I have machined out both pieces to keep them from slipping but the "seal" on the piston is shot and it will no longer break 80psi.
Small example of the crap construction...the motor shaft has a flat spot on it and the counterweight slides over that. But these idiots put the set screw on the round side of the shaft...and they use an e-clip to hold...
Problems with connecting the unit's air hose to any tire's vavle stem.
The unit operates as advertised. It is light weight, very portable and inflates SUV, car and bike tires very quickly. The problem I am having is with the screw on hose connection to the tire's valve stem. I am never (and I mean never) able to screw the end of the air hose onto any SUV, car or bike tire's valve stem. It simply won't screw on. I therefore need to manually hold the end of the hose onto the valve stem to inflate a tire. I need to hold it in the exact proper position or the air will quickly leak out of the tire. Frustrating to say the least. There have been times when I thought the tire was inflating to find out that I didn't have it in the proper position and the tire was actually deflating.
I just sent an email to Q Industries to find out if the "Optional clip on tire valve inflator extension" that Q Industries sells on their website for $5, will work with the HV402A that I purchased. If this won't work, I am hoping they can provide another alternative...
