Auto Tire inflator
Air Station

I bought this because I can't be exposed to sun light so I need to check and fill my car tires indoors. This is to be a garage tool. I filled 5 car tires from 25 to 35 pounds. I set the gage for 35 and plugged it in a wall socket and it filled all tires then shut off. I didn't check the DC function because I will only use this in my garage. It works as advertised. I am recommending this Black & Decker Air Station and I am giving it 4 stars.

Worth the price
The Black and Decker Air Station works great. My objective was to have a small easy to use pump to keep my bike and car tires inflated. The dual power source (120/12v) was a prime criteria for me. This allows me to inflate my bike tires in my garage without needing the car and also to have a pump I can keep in the car for emergency use. There are several pumps with this option but the feature that sold me was the automatic shut off on the pump. This works great, I can just set the pressure I want and not have to read the gauge while I am filling the tires.
The pump is well designed, light weight and easy to use. The only dissapointment is the 120v cord is very short and I need to use an extension cord when using the house outlet.

ASI300 Air Station
Works very well. Automatically stops when appropriate PSI is reached. A great benefit.

Great value for the price

Rock Solid Performance
I bought this product because I hated going to the gas station everytime my tires were running soft. By the time I arrived there they were too hot for the normal PSI so I had to add a couple of PSis to compensate.

At least now, while my car is parked inside the garage I can run this baby on cold tires.

Some folks complain about the auto-shut-off for each air fill, but come on guys RTFM it's a safety feature.

My only gripes are:
- Short build-in AC cord, the cigarette plug cord is longer, ok you can buy a Black & Deckter extension cord for this air pump but come on, they could have at least made a longer built-in cord.
- pressure gauge could use more PSI indicators, I mean if you you require 30+ PSI for your tires I can be tough to get an accurate reading, although like some folks suggested you could buy one of those pen-type pressure gauges for 99c

But even with the above gripes, I would still buy this air pump.

Disappointed
I just used my new B&D As1300 Air Station for the 1st time and was greatly disappointed. I had a older model that worked much better and faster and had longer power and inflation cords. When using the inflator, the storage compartment door must be left open which makes turning the air station on and off very awkward. The only part that broke on my old air station was the plastic valve stem attachment which I could not replace. If I had bought this new air station from a local retailer I would return it for a refund.
