Why We Love This Deal
What’s one of the most inconvenient things that can happen after driving away from your home? In our opinion, it's an unexpected flat tire. It’s why every car should have a cordless tire inflator in the trunk. They've become ultra-affordable recently, and right now, Amazon is selling one from a popular brand for the eye-opening price of $20.
The AstroAI L7 Tire Inflator is now 50% off. Coming onto the scene just 10 years ago, AstroAI quickly distinguished itself from other gadget makers by knocking it out of the park with affordable and reliable tire inflators. This model, the L7, is AstroAI’s most affordable mini tire inflator and is highly prized by shoppers who value space and money.
Over 30,000 L7s have been sold in the past month, and it's currently ranked as the No. 18 bestselling automotive product on the entire site. Finally, note that the two-pack is under $40 right now, in case you want one for both cars in the family.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Dimensions: 2.6 x 1.97 x 5.28 inches
- Weight: 1 pound
- Suitable For: Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and sports equipment
- Power Supply: 4000mAh battery (enough to refill about 8 car tires when maximally charged)
- Notable Features: Comes with necessary nozzle heads for different objects, has an emergency flashlight, has auto off, and can be used as a power supply in a pinch.
The L7 is ready to pump up your car, motorcycle, and bicycle tires quickly, and includes all the nozzles you need to get pumping correctly. Despite its small size, it is still capable of getting 195/65R15 tires (a common tire type for mid-sized cars) pumped up. Its 4000mAh battery holds enough charge to do so for eight car tires on one charge, too. This little guy is small but mighty.
But the mini device goes beyond that. It can be used as a power supply in a pinch, possibly giving you enough battery life to make the call that gets you out of a jam. There’s also a flashlight feature that can go into strobe mode, making you more visible while dealing with other car issues.
At just $20, this is an excellent device to have handy in your glove box or trunk box. And that’s especially true when top competitors can cost some serious change, including the much-loved Milwaukee M18 Inflator, now at $145.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Users typically emphasize that the L7 works snappily for bike tires, but can certainly handle car tires as well. One such reviewer said, “It worked great for several ‘emergencies,’ that is, bringing my tires up to pressure recommendation.”
Another shopper confirmed, just in case you’re curious, that “it handles anything you want to air up.”
The AstroAI L7 is just $20 right now, and it’s a great idea to have one in your glove compartment, especially during the winter months.
