Full Performance. Smarter Price.

The Thor’s Lightning Strike brings our next-generation high-output compressor platform below the $400 mark without cutting the performance and electrical components that matter.

You still get 10.6 CFM dual-cylinder performance, automatic set-pressure inflation, Tank Mode, Continuous Mode, digital pressure control, Bluetooth capability, heavy-duty 4-gauge wiring, and upgraded battery clamps.

We lowered the price by simplifying the carry bag, hose, quick-connect package, and packaging — not by gutting the compressor.

10.6 CFM. Digital Control. $399.
Strike was built for customers who want serious Thor’s Lightning compressor performance without paying for features or accessories they may not need.
Thor's Lightning Strike 10.6 CFM digital air compressor features

Serious Air. Smarter Control.

Strike is built around the same philosophy as our premium compressor systems: move a lot of air, manage pressure intelligently, and make airing up less of a chore.

  • Automatic Set-Pressure Inflation — select your desired PSI and Strike automatically stops when your target pressure is reached.
  • 10.6 CFM Dual-Cylinder Performance — high-flow output designed for large off-road tires, trucks, SUVs, RVs, trailers, and demanding inflation jobs.
  • Tank Mode — allows Strike to operate with compatible air tanks and pressure-controlled pneumatic systems.
  • Continuous Mode — keeps the compressor running when an application calls for uninterrupted airflow.
  • Digital Pressure Control — repeatable pressure management without constantly checking a traditional handheld gauge.
  • Bluetooth Capability — built into the next-generation control platform.
  • Heavy-Duty Electrical System — 4-gauge wiring, upgraded battery clamps, and a 120A Anderson-style power connection designed for high-current operation.
Set It Once. Move Tire to Tire.
Set your target pressure on Strike and let the compressor shut itself off when the tire reaches the selected PSI. No repeated gauge checks. No standing over the compressor waiting for the exact moment to shut it down.

Strike or StrikePro?

Both models share Thor’s Lightning’s high-output dual-cylinder compressor platform, automatic set-pressure inflation, Tank Mode, Continuous Mode, digital pressure control, Bluetooth capability, and heavy-duty electrical system.

The biggest functional upgrade with StrikePro is built-in automatic preset deflation. StrikePro also includes our premium hose, coupler, heavy-duty carrying bag, and upgraded accessory package.

Thor's Lightning Strike vs StrikePro air compressor comparison

Choose Strike if you want 10.6 CFM performance, automatic set-pressure inflation, and Thor’s Lightning’s next-generation digital compressor platform at the best possible value.

Choose StrikePro if you also want built-in automatic preset deflation plus our premium hose, coupler, carrying bag, and accessory package.

Built for Big Tires and Real Use

Strike is designed for off-road vehicles, overland rigs, trucks, SUVs, trailers, RVs, fleet vehicles, and anyone who needs substantially more air than a typical portable tire inflator can deliver.

Whether you are airing up after a trail day, adjusting pressure on a tow vehicle, running an air tank, or simply want a compressor that does not require you to stand around holding a trigger and watching a gauge, Strike is built to make the job faster.

Inflate Multiple Tires at Once

Pair Strike with the Thor’s Lightning Rapid 4-Tire Air System to connect multiple tires to one central system.

Set your pressure, connect your tires, and let Strike handle the air while you work on the rest of your recovery or trail setup.

Built Around a Serious Electrical System

High-output 12-volt compressors demand substantial current. Strike uses 4-gauge wiring, upgraded battery clamps, and a 120A Anderson-style connection to support the power demands of the dual-cylinder compressor.

An integrated cooling system helps manage operating temperature during demanding inflation sessions, while the 75% duty cycle supports extended real-world use.
