I've been using an old Craftsman unit and 'pocket style' digital tire gauge but I know there are newer units where you can dial in the pressure you want and flip a switch. Tried ordering one of these with good reviews from AMZN and it ended up being really junky so I sent it back. Checking and topping off air pressure in my cars, wife and daughter's cars is one of the dirtier tedious tasks of car maintenance, I find. Wonder what others do?
I use a Kobalt from Lowes. Its a little bigger than a toaster. Its been reliable for 3 years now for my two vehicles. Guage on board is closely matched to external and the small offset is consistent.
When I add air to my daughter's Nissan, the horn honks when you hit the correct fill pressure. That's the kind of technology Porsche needs.
On my cayman ( 981), you could watch the tires pressures on the screen when inflating to tell when the car is happy.
On my 991.2 GTS, it wont give you the tire pressures until the car is moving, so no feedback until after you have completed topping the tires off.

Suggestions for a new tire air compressor?
