Which Tire Inflator would you recommend?

For those that take their vehicle onto the beach or sand dunes. I assume you take out air from your tires. But when you leave do you use a tire inflator or go to the nearest gas station to fill the tires back up to their proper psi?

If you use a portable tire inflator, which would you recommend?

When driving on the beach I air down to about 15 PSI and then air back up when leaving the beach. I purchased this air compressor from Amazon:

It works pretty well, takes about 15 minutes total to air up all the tires. I plug it into the 12V jack in the trunk and the cord is long enough that it reaches all four tires from that jack.

I'm looking at the Slime ones at Walmart and Autozone. Slime makes a lot of different ones. I'm looking at one around $70 with the light that plugs into the cigarette lighter.

Too many things I want... Waiting for funds and going down the list...

I use a Viair 400P. It's a little expensive, but it works VERY well. I never deflate to less than 20lbs, but it refills each tire in under 90 seconds (to 38 lbs). It does not have a cigarette lighter style plug. It hooks directly to the battery. Plenty of hose to hit all the tires.

I just picked up a 4-in-1 Jump Starter with Air Compressor at Harbor Freight.

I've used this one from Harbor Freight for a couple years now on my Wranglers. Connects to battery and fills tires pretty fast. http://www.harborfreight.com/12volt-150-psi-compact-air-compressor-69285.html#
