Our verdict
A good top-off pump for passenger cars. It is not an all-purpose inflator, but for a compact glove-box tool at a modest price it does the job.

Pros

  • Very light at 1.74 lb
  • 150 psi rating
  • USB power-bank output
  • Relatively quiet

Cons

  • Struggled on a truck tire
  • Very short hose
  • No 12V or AC adapter
  • Sealed built-in battery

What to know about Fanttik X8 APEX

A compact (1.74 lb) cordless inflator with a 28.8Wh built-in battery, 150 psi max, ±1 psi claimed accuracy, auto shut-off and a USB power-bank output. Tom's Guide ranks it No. 1 and Outdoor Life names it best compact inflator. It suits passenger-car top-offs, not truck tires.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

It is Outdoor Life's Best Compact and the first pick in Tom's Guide's guide. At 1.74 lb it fits almost anywhere, and the USB output lets it double as a small power bank.

For sedans and crossovers that need a few psi, it is quick to grab and use. It measured 72.5 dB in Outdoor Life's test, quieter than the larger units.

What to know

Skip it for truck or large SUV tires. It is labeled for tires up to 26.3 inches, and its battery died at 40 psi on a truck tire after 21:30.
