Picked up this Black & Decker ASI500 12-Volt cordless portable, rechargeable inflator. Works well, 2 years with no issues.

Okay, so I am likely over the top on this one. I use an ARB portable twin air compressor. I use it for off roading and for stuff around the house. Works for nail guns, tools, and is great for filling tires larger jeep tires. I like how it connects directly to the battery, so no worries about popping fuses. It is self contained so, packing it up or storing it is easy.

I bought one of these primarily for airing up the 265/70-17 Bridgestone Duelers on my 4Runner after wheeling, but it's also come in handy for resetting pressure at a track day:

It's way faster and more powerful than a typical cigarette-lighter job.

For simply topping off a few psi of pressure, I second the recommendation of using a bicycle pump.
