Its a bit pricey and can't attest to the long term reliability, but it feels like its built to withstand a nuclear blast. I can say it works as advertised, that being really fast. It pumped my tires from 25-45 psi in under a minute a piece, dramatically faster than other ordinary pumps I've used and its even quieter. It weighs less than an a portable air tank, takes up less space and is nearly as fast. Hopefully it will be as durable as it feels. Pep boys has these for sale at the same price as the EBay BIN without the S&H, but I can't find it on their website.

I picked up one of these a couple of years ago at Pep Boys. It's still running strong and we usually run two or three cars at each autocross, so it's had a workout. It is a lot faster too. You'll have the urge to loan it to the guy in the pit next to you just so you won't have to spend the next twenty minutes listening to his run.

My Snap-On is a few times faster than the cheapies, but it cost several times more than these above, too. It's cordless and uses the same batteries as my impact, so it's got that going for it, but once you've used one of the fast ones, you'll never want to go back. That's for sure. These look like a good deal, assuming it lasts a couple seasons, at least.
