I need a new portable air compressor to keep in my truck. Preferably able to plug into the cigarette lighter. What do y'all recommend?

I have one from Home Depot, Husky brand, seems durable, works fine. Heavier duty ones exist but I haven’t needed that.
Added: you’re talking about a tire inflator right? A real compressor needs a lot more power than you can get from a cig lighter socket.

This is probably not the solution most people would pick but honestly I just use my manual bike pump lol
I already had it, and it works just fine with a little effort. No batteries, no cables, no electronics. Just a pump. It’s been working pretty alright for me
Sedan tires are probably quite a bit smaller than truck tires though, so pumping might get more tiring (hah :P)
Otherwise honestly this might be a thing where most decent options would hold up okay. Myself, I’d be looking harbor freight reviews to see if folks think their options are reliable (I’m very broke lol. Which is why bike pump lol)
I hope you find a good solution!

Yeah sounds good, but the effort though…

I have a 12Vair compressor and a manual pump as backup in the car.
I’ve never needed to use the backup, but I do like having it.

Lol, totally understandable
I hate loud stuff so for me it’s a tradeoff either way. And I really hate things that are loud
