These are fantastic inflators. I hope more people will mod this unit in the future. If anyone is inflating anything over 100 psi use a small hose clamp where the chuck meets the air hose to add some strength. The chuck came off mine while refilling a compressed air can. And if you ever take the case off, check where the hose is connected inside. If there's no hose clamp there, add one there too if you can. Don't crank too tight as only a plastic barb you're cranking it onto. They can easily crack. More hacks I'd love to see for this unit: -Flashlight/hazard light mod, perhaps with a blinker for visibility/safety on the road. - Blow Gun mod. For those who use compressed air cans alot. For now I hacked a compressed air can to make it refillable. I have no room for an air pig or I would have hacked a propane bottle for that. - Better tire chuck. One that locks onto the tire without having to bend a lever. You might need to change to regular compressed air hose for that, which is another mod. (adding regular air line to be able to connect compressed air tools) - Power mod. Add 50 psi. Is it doable? - Close off the bit holder on the side with a lid that opens and closes. Or add a container that opens and closes. You could add more bits. Don't lose those as they're great for camping say inflate air mattress, inflatable beds, various water toys. Usb charger mod is pointless since there's a Ryobi inverter/usb charger that connects to the battery. People can also mod or of 3d print those.
I want to replace the hose on this and looking at the video here looks like it is kind of molded into place in the unit rather than being able to screw it out!
Anybody mod one of these with a dual air chuck, like you would use on truck tires? I'm sure it would be simple but I'd love to see an example so I know what the hose looks like inside before I go and hack it up.
I tried to take mine apart and got all the screws and bits off but couldn’t for them life of me figure out how to fully separate the two sides of the case. Any feedback on how you were able to?

It would have been cool if they incorporated usb ports or an inverter in there as well. Heck make it a charger too. :-D
Do it!! :)

did it make it run longer? I destroyed one of the other ones by inflating a big truck tire and ziptied it on.

Please someone mod this to be able to use 12V as power as well!
Very nice! Any trouble getting the case apart?
Not too bad actually.
