So far everything has been as it should be. Shipping was very fast, as is the compressor. My wife was upset with me for spending that much money, 399. As luck would have have it, she had a low tire on her car the day after I got my Thor. She was running late, in less time then it would take me for the home compressor I hooked up the hose kit and got all 4 tires filled to 34 PSI. now she is happy I bought it. So guys, if you find your wife is not happy with you for spending that money, do what I did. Before she wakes up go out and let some air out of one of her tires, you and Thor will be her hero.
These guys mean business when you place your order! I received my total control compressor and Thors hammer in two days!! Can’t wait to test this thing out!!!!
Thor's Lightning Portable TotalControl 12v True Dual Air Compressor 10.6 CFM
Used a few times out in the Sand dunes. Takes me only a couple minutes to deflate and less than 5 minutes to inflate my 4runner on 33's. All to the same PSI. Must have for off roading imo.
I mean that in a good way. I bought the deflate kit and I love it. My wife had a low tire on her car, and she was running late. Normally I would turn the compressor and wait for it to fill, 4 or 5 minutes.I hooked up all 4 tires turned on my Thor and in no time at all I had all 4 tires up to 40 psi. I only had it a day before I got to use it, the wife was upset with me for spending 400 dollars. My thor is now a welcome member of the family. Buy one, there great. And if the wife gets upset with you for spending all that money, just do what I did. Let 20 pounds out of one tire and come to the rescue with your new thor lighting.
Received my Thor’s lightening compressor much sooner than estimated. I tested it extensively prior to going to the beach. Aired down and up the first day. Second day when I got to soft sand and went to air down the chuck was loose and came off and apparently the rubber seal came out. No airing down or up. There was no Teflon tape. I couldn’t find a chuck nor gasket that would fit so bought a grommet and cut it in half. Seems to be working OK.
Other then that, I air down my stock tires in 12 minutes total using a single hose and air them up in less then 5 minutes. I do not regret my purchase and my son is ordering one soon. Longevity is the only unknown. I think I’ll get a few back up chucks and maybe another backup hose.
Got the new compressor and it works well and for the money. I don't think you can beat it.
Haven’t had a chance to use it yet
I haven't taken the opportunity to try the equipment yet but when I do I'll update this review. However, the customer service was fantastic. I called the day I ordered, (notice I said I called) to see if they had the equipment I needed and the guy I talked to said he had it right there and would get it out that day, the call was at 3pm. I received my order of the Total Control compressor and the Rapid 4-tire hose kit in a couple of days. One minor issue was that they forgot to include the manifold. I CALLED again to see if they could next-day air it to me since I had a trip planned. Again it was late in the day and too late to get it shipped in time for my trip but they volunteered to drive it to the UPS station and ship it to my hotel. Phenomenal! Thanks Thor's Lightning! I emphasize the fact that customers can call because the other suppliers of similar equipment have no phone number and are slow to respond or completely unresponsive to emails and texts.
No issues so far. 10.6 cfm, auto turn off feature along with 4 way inflate/deflate hose, I am able to air up and down quickly and carries a 5 yr warranty.
Very impressive.
Have only use once and the zipper broke on the bag not very good quality. Hope this does not mean whats to come. Will have to wait and see. Looking at also purchasing a mounting bracket.
This compressor is awesome! No more 30 minute air-ups. With the 4-way air setup, I can air up and air down all 4 tires in no time. Glad I bought the setup.
When we got our new Jeep, we were looking for an air system to use on the trails. After a lot of research, I decided Thor’s Lightning air system was exactly what we wanted. Even though the cost of most air systems is higher than I wanted to pay, I bought it and I’m definitely happy I did. It was really easy to set up and the construction is very sturdy and well made. I was able to air down in minutes and re-inflate even faster than I thought it would. I’m very happy we decided to make this purchase.
Worked perfectly with my Nitto air compressor to hook up a digital gauge. Really good build quality and has a strong locking mechanism.
Overall it's a good kit but first use and the tool to push the plug in came apart when I pulled to set the plug, handle piece pulled clean off and won't stay on, so now I bought another kit to replace 1 tool. Really disappointed, and using a 2 piece design could definitely be improved for this exact reason.
Josh- we are SO sorry for your experience. Our T-Handle tool has an allen bolt that holds the shaft to the handle- the kit includes an allen wrench to tighten that bolt if needed. Obviously yours is not threading into the handle correctly. We really want to resolve this for you, and would like to re-imburse you for costs on the other kit. Can you please e-mail us at sales@thorslightning.com so we can get you straightened out? We've never had a failure like this occur, so we want to make it right!
Thanks,

Great quality gear! Had a mix up on an adapter and they made it right faster than lightning! Thanks Derek!
The kit comes with everything you need and in a small compact design. These are a must have contingency plan for on/off roading.
Great product. Fills tires fast. Love the on demand air
