![]() So it lets you know when it's ready to go again. And when it reaches a safe temperature, it actually kicks itself back on if you leave it in the on position. It'll shut off, wait till it's completely cool back down. It can see a potential to overheat, in which case, it has that fail-safe. So that thermal shut-off is really great if you're in any high temperature areas there, or desert climates that see over 100 degrees and you're constantly running this thing. Now, if it overheats, it has the thermal shut-off, which actually is a fail-safe that kills it so it doesn't overheat and cause damage to the compressor or cause any damage to you or anybody near it. The actual compressor is by nature gonna generate heat. It's got a thermal shut-off and it's got an air pressure shut-off.Now the thermal shut-off is exactly what it sounds like. Now, built-in are a couple of fail-safes worth mentioning that are really nice to have on hand just to make sure nothing can go wrong. And then at that point, you hook up the hose, connect it to your tires, for example, or whatever it is that you're filling up and you can easily use it. It'll boot up for a couple of seconds and pressurize the compressor and then shut off. The compressor basically kicks on automatically once you hit it in the on position. And then the on position's at the bottom there, where it has a little picture of a tire and a pressure gauge so you know what's on and what's off. The top is gonna be your off position, which it's on by default, and the off position there has the ARB logo, which will illuminate when it's connected to the battery. So it's extremely easy and consumer-friendly, super easy to use, very comprehensive. And that's easily something you can pick up, and because they're more or less universal, they'll work directly with this hose here.This compressor has a couple of features that, again, I'll walk you through later on in the video, but just to know upfront, it comes with one switch of operation. ![]() The only other thing you might want to pick up that it doesn't come with here is a pressure gauge to monitor the actual pressure of your tires as you're filling them up. You can easily use that included in the kit. It also comes with a couple of other accessories to air up other accessories, things like a football or a basketball, things like that. It also comes with a couple of other accessories here worth mentioning, including a tire filler valve, which easily fits right into the hose there. So even though the entire thing is compact, this guy has absolutely no problem reaching all four corners of your truck to air up your tires when it comes time to. The hose itself is an extremely durable material and it's 19 feet. It's all screwed in right out of the box. None of that nonsense, just pop it down on the floor.Aside from that, it comes with the air hose here with the male and female fittings built-in there. You don't have to worry about feeding it into the engine bay or propping it up on your manifold. The nice thing about that also is that the cables themselves are long enough that you can actually put the box right down on the floor. So you don't have to worry about other sources of energy or other sources of power, it just hooks right up under the hood. Now because it's that 12-volt air compressor, it's got these battery cables that'll hook straight up to your positive and negative terminals on your truck's battery. Right out of the box, you can open it up and get to work using it. As a matter of fact, the compressor itself is actually bolted to the inside of the box, so you don't have to remove it. Now, if you're heading off-road or to the worksite and you need to air down your tires and just want a convenient way to air your tires back up, when it's time to hit the road without hitting the facility at a campsite, for example, then having one of these portable air compressors on deck is gonna be a lifesaver and a time-saver, more importantly.Now, the nice thing about this particular one here from ARB, who, by the way, is a reputable name in the air compressor community here, a number of other communities as well, but they make this portable compact air compressor that fits neatly into this box. And it's something that you can easily store in your backseats or in your truck bed, for example. Now, if you're in need of an air compressor that's portable, compact, and extremely easy to use, and powerful enough to get the job done, this is a great way to go. ![]() And today, we're taking a closer look at and demonstrating the ARB High Performance 12-Volt Portable Air Compressor, available for really any RAM 1500 as it's more of a universal part.
