I was looking around Target one day, and I noticed they had some Black & Decker 2 gallon compressors (BDCP200AV, same as BDCP200 but with a free auto vacuum) in their clearance area. They were marked @ $70, and there was a sign saying 30% off. I thought 30% off $70 was an unbelievable price. But I asked and found that the $70 price was already reduce by the 30%. I passed, but then a day later changed my mind, and decided to get it.
The compressor came with various adaptors, including a tire nozzle. But there was no gauge on that. So I went to Walmart, and bought a tire inflator tool that had a gauge.
This compressor is a great addition to my garage. With a 25 foot hose, it makes it easy to keep the tire pressure of my car at the proper levels. And by keeping my tires inflated, my gas mileage is improved.
The adaptor I got a Walmart is easy to use. It snaps on to the valve stem, and I just pull the trigger, and put in a burst of air. When I release the trigger, the gauge shows the actual pressure in the tire. If I go over where I wanted it to be, there is a button to release just a little air.
