Portable tire inflators? Any reccomendations of something small like these?

The problem I have is when slicks go complete dead on a car I have stored somewhere not near an air compressor.
Any thoughts?

I have this box that plugs into your cig lighter, and has other stupid **** like flashing hazard light that pops up, etc. But it pumps up tires like there is no tomorrow. If I remember right my dad got it for my mom like 10 yrs ago at SAMS club. But still works like a champ to this day. Impresses me.
I guess after all of that rambling, I've had good luck with those.

I just picked one up from Black and Decker, you can adjust a dial to the PSI you want and walk away. It shuts off once it reaches that point. PLugs into the lighter and is small enough to tuck into the side hole in the trunk.
All the ones I have seen work ok, but you can't expect much out of a small compressor. Nice to have for safety though. One thing that I have recently been impressed with is using a co2 bottle for tire inflation and/or running air tools at the track. With all different size bottles to choose from you could have a small kit for road safety or a larger one to have at the track to use for inflation and tools that last a long time.
