- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Get an air pump that runs off your car battery. Don't get a jump/pump as those are more expensive and they break. Get one with a flashlight.
It's one of those cheap purchases that makes a world of difference.
Most places still have a few gas stations with free air!
Don't buy the cheapest tho, look online for one that has metal piston & cogs (are are only slightly more expensive, or perhaps even not more expensive).
The plastic ones break easily when heated (5 ~ 10 minutes).
But yeah, why not just pump the air at gas stations?
They usually have to recertify the gauges once a year.
You are absolutely right about heat. They get hot
As for free air, more and more gas stations have attached credit card machines to their pumps. Having to hunt for ones that haven't had become a chore. Also, it is so helpful to just have it on hand at any time.
