Havent used on beach but it is really built well. Very heavy duty. Cant wait to us3
Hands down the best air compressor I have ever used. I have had others and they didn’t last very long or feel as solid as Thor’s. Air up or down quickly. Shipping was quick and well packaged.
This is a perfect compressor for a UTV. It is compact and comes with a case. Case can be mounted on a Molle rack.
Thor's Lightning Portable TotalControl 12v True Dual Air Compressor 10.6 CFM
I've used it several times and works great! Deflation is fast and so is inflation. I don't have large tires on my Bronco but it inflates them in less than 5 minutes from 10 psi to 40. The only issue is the pressure counter on the compressor doesn't match the vehicle's measurement. It's off by about 4 psi. But that's a minor issue of your looking for reliable air ups. I can't imagine if altitude affects that but I'm usually at 10k feet or more.
Love my compressor mount I don't have to haul it on my truck anymore
Package arrived un-damaged and as advertised. Waiting for compressor to arrive so I can give the inflator kit s try.
The Thor’s Lightning worked fantastic. We aired up my buddy Jeep on 35’s and then aired up my Jeep on 37’s with no problems and quickly! It shut off once it got to the right pressure so we didn’t have to worry about it while we were talking about the trails we just ran!
Complete setup with an awesome air compressor and 4 tire inflator
I really love it I used last weekend on a off-roading and it’s so easy and fast to used so so love it.
The 4 tire kit might be a bit pricey, but it is a huge time saver and works great! I love this thing already!
I purchased the 4-Tire Inflation/Deflation System using the customizable compressor bundle link. Also, I had considered the base model compressor, but ended up getting the Total Control. After having tested it in my driveway a couple times to learn how to operate it and on the trail once, I have to say that it performs nicely! It's fast, efficient, not too loud, doesn't vibrate heavily, and every component feels solid. The automatic inflate feature was also really nice and pumped up my tires to the right PSI as if the tires were cold. The tires actually hit 2 PSI higher than entered, but in the morning they were perfectly at 37 (which is the manufacturer's recommendation). I actually think that makes the Total Control feature even more nice! Honestly, all of my friends were impressed by this air system and all took pictures of it. As a slight newbie, I got some "Trail Cred" for this purchase.
While the Hammer Hose Manifold does get a little hot, I was able to handle it with thin fabric without issue. However, consider the fact that I used it on two vehicles (8 tires), in 100 degree weather, in direct sunlight for around 10 minutes straight. The hose ends in the Hammer Manifold (the ones that go into the quick disconnects) were also a little toasty, but less so. Every other part of the hose system was cool to the touch. The chucks are easy to use if you think of pushing them on the valve stem and making the seal before locking the chuck. Some dust got in them, but was easy to remove by blowing on them, or using compressed air canisters, while moving the chuck lock up and down a little. The hoses themselves are durable, rated for 300 PSI, and slightly slick to the touch which indicates they are the right material. The hoses were also plenty long for a Jeep Wrangler JLU and could easy reach all tires on a full-sized pickup.
Finally, the customer service was top notch. I told them I have beadlocks and they gave me small extensions to the front tire connectors free of charge. Even with the customizations to the hoses the order came in early! They were also very responsive and kind. They also took care of me in other ways that I think should reasonably stay between me and Thor's Lightning. Just know that they were amazing and if how they treated me, the average customer, is any indicator of how they'll treat you then I think you'll have a great buying experience!
Love this air line system. Excellent quality, easy to use, and fast to air down and back up again. I also have the Total Control compressor. And together, they can’t be beat. Plus a 5 year warranty, what’s not to love.
Great product, easy to use. Great customer service.
Bought the digital dual pump and the air up/down hose setup at Overland Expo in Redmond, OR and tested it out as soon as I got home. The process of airing down and then back up after going off-road used to take around 40ish minutes with my old setup. I timed it and to air down to 15psi on a 33” tire and back up to 42 on all 4 took about 15 minutes total! No more kneeling down over and over to stop and check my pressures or swap to another wheel etc! This setup is legit!!
Haven't had a chance to use it yet, been to hot out to go 4x4 Wheeling in my open top JF40 Land Cruiser.
This air system makes everything so much easier. I didn’t know how easily would be. And it’s super easy and quick to air up and down now.
I bought the Total control compressor along with the 4 tire set up. This thing works amazing and is a huge time saver. Helped a buddy fill his 38" tires back up and his valves didn't have enough clearance for the 4 tire quick connects, so we aired up with the single hose. Even in his big tires, going from 15psi back up to 30 was surprisingly fast.
I aired up two jeeps while the Jeep next to us was on his second tire. this thing is no pun intended lightning fast. I am so pleased with my purchase.
Easy to use and quickly able to air down all four tires at once then air them back up at the same time!
This is an amazing compressor and will definitely work for my application. Angie was amazing and made sure that I was satisfied with my order. I highly recommend this company. Thank you!
