Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for portable tire inflators. I'm looking for one for my 2002 and for my 914, but I want to make sure that I get a dependable model. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Later model Porsches use a collapsible spare which must be inflated, find a Porsche parts recycler they will have a good selection of inflation units priced around $100

For a Porsche pump in a case 10 years ago you could get them for $100...good luck now days.
You can get a cheap china pump off of amazon, I just check out the amazon and YT reviews to try to find the kit others have had good luck with.

I have't a clue about soldering irons, checked out amazon and YT reviews and ended up with a $100 Hakko. In 5 minutes found out Hakko was a good name, watched a YT shoot out vid and bought it. Not top of the line, but 0 to 750F in 10-15 seconds works for me.

I did exactly the same and love that soldering iron. Sorry for the hijack. Now back to the regularly scheduled program. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
