Something under $50. I'd prefer one with that uses an electrical outlet, most of the ones I see are 12V auto plugs and people say they don't work that well.

I bought a 12v one from Auto Zone and it comes with all the adapters and needles for sports balls, it was under $30

I got some generic one from over 10 years ago and it still works just like new. It was inexpensive, like under $30. Paid for itself many times over. I'd recommend everyone keep a compressor in their car.

We have one that plug sinto the cigarette lighter and is great for topping off car tires at home. It's really old and I have no idea where we got it from. It doesn't work well for pumping up things like swimming rafts and such because it's meant for high pressure things and not pumping huge amounts of air, but it will work if you sit long enough.

Halfords own digital. It's a UK store, sorry!

No doubt it's the same chinese crappola they sell over there too. Saying that, it works a charm.
