Today we discuss a common question asked by Lokithor customers trying to decide between our range of rescue jump starters.

Should they choose a Lokithor model with a built-in air compressor?

WHICH LOKITHOR MODELS INCLUDE AIR COMPRESSORS?

Both the Lokithor Essential 4-in-1 and Lokithor Adventure Buddy 5-in-1 series of rescue jump starters come with air compressors, a summary of specifications is included below for quick reference.

1. Digital Air Compressor Pump 150 PSI Max Pressure
2. Rescue Jump Starter 12v @ 2000A

WHICH LOKITHOR JUMP STARTER SHOULD I CHOOSE?

The Lokithor Essential 4-in-1 and Lokithor Adventure Buddy 5-in-1 are almost identical;

OPTION 1.
The Lokithor Essential 4-in-1 includes everything the Adventure Buddy does except NO water pump pressure washer is included. The jump starting power for engines is 2000A.

OPTION 2. The Lokithor Adventure Buddy 5-in-1 comes with a water pump pressure washer built-in, additional to the already included air compressor. The jump starting power for engines is 2500A.

ASK YOURSELF - Do I need all the standard benefits of a Lokithor rescue jump starter (2000A Jump Starter, LED Torch & USB Power Bank) and don't need to wash anything. However, I would find the built-in air compressor pump handy for the beach for inflatables, inflatable camping equipment, bike tyres, kids ride-on toys with pneumatic wheels, car tyres, trailers tyres and inflatable pool toys, floatation devices and play equipment? If you answered YES; Get the Lokithor Essential 4-in-1

ASK YOURSELF - 
Do I need all the standard benefits of a Lokithor rescue jump starter (2500A Jump Starter, LED Spotlight & USB Power Bank) and need to or likely want to wash pets, cars and campsite equipment away from home with fresh water access or water container supply? Do I need a portable camping shower for my next adventure or fresh water emergency bilge pump for boating? If you answered YES; Get the Lokithor Adventure Buddy 5-in-1

NOTE: Please take note of the differences in jump starting power between the two models and determine suitability based on the engine size you wish to jump start. The rescue jump starting power between the two Lokithor air compressor models is between 2000A - 2500A. Suitable for almost all passenger vehicles, small boats, vans, small trucks, 4x4, SUV's and motorcycles. Please check full specifications on each product page to be sure.

WHAT ARE REAL WORLD USES FOR JUMP STARTERS WITH AIR COMPRESSORS?

This Lokithor rescue jump starter buyers guide outlines the various scenarios you can find portable air compressors and inflation useful.

Having a portable air compressor on a road trip or field use in farming equipment, farming machinery, camping, onboard water craft, trucks and offroad offers several significant benefits. There is always another use for portable air, what are you going to inflate and where? Let's dive in.

1. DIGITAL TYRE INFLATION

Emergency Roadside Repairs: Quickly inflate a flat tyre to get back on the road, especially crucial in remote areas where road side assistance is not available. Spare tyres can become under inflated, pump up the spare before replacing with a punctured tyre anywhere, anytime. Slow punctures are fixed by the roadside providing valuable time to get to safety for proper puncture repairs.

Maintaining Proper Tyre Pressure: Maintain optimal tyre pressure for better fuel efficiency, improved handling and longer tyre life. Read your owners manual for recommended tyre inflation pressures. Typically this is also affixed to the drivers side door pillar. All Lokithor air compressor rescue jump starter models include a digital pressure gauge.

Adjusting for Load: Adjust tyre pressure based on road conditions and cargo weight. Vehicles require different pressures based on the cargo weight and quantity of passengers onboard. If you are towing a boat, caravan or trailer the tyre pressure needs to be set correctly. Inflate air suspension systems and other pneumatic devices.

Recreational Equipment: Inflate tyres on recreational equipment such as bikes, kids ride-on cars, tricycles and scooters.

2. SPORTS, BEACH & CAMPING EQUIPMENT INFLATION

Sports Equipment: Inflate sports equipment (Footballs, Soccer Balls, Basketballs, Volleyballs etc.)

Beach & Pool Equipment: Inflate beach equipment (Play Beach Boats, Inflatable Chairs, Beach & Pool Rings, Pool Toys, Paddleboards, Beachballs, Rafts, Floating Sunlounges etc.)

Camping Equipment: Inflate camping equipment (Air Mattresses, Air Pillows, Air Cushions, Air Chairs etc.)

3. CLEANING

Using the included air nozzle the Lokithor rescue jump starter air compressor models can clean light dust off equipment. Several nozzles are included for various inflation situations. Use the air compressor to blow off dust and debris from electronics, keyboards and other hard to reach areas.

4. INDEPENDENCE

Never go to the service station again, inflate at home, offroad and anywhere you are using the Lokithor air compressor jump starter.

5. SERIOUSELY PORTABLE

All Lokithor digital air compressor fitted models are compact and lightweight making them easy to store and transport when on the road or water.

6. TRULY MULTIFUNCTIONAL

The adventure seeker faces a unique set of challenges. Dead batteries, flat tyres and the occasional need to inflate recreational gear can all turn a journey into a trip breaking ordeal. Lokithor rescue jump starters include jump starters, USB Power Banks & LED torches as standard. Charging phones, tablets and other small electronics is a bonus.

This versatility has strong appeal, offering convenience and peace of mind for drivers and boaters who frequently encounter roadside emergencies or simply enjoy the outdoors.

7. ESSENTIAL TRAVEL EQUIPMENT

Lokithor rescue jump starters with built-in air compressors such as the Lokithor Essential 4-in-1 and Lokithor Adventure Buddy 5-in-1 represent a compelling solution for adventure seekers, boaters, campers and all outdoor enthusiasts. While Lokithor air compressor devices may not be the perfect solution for every situation, their versatility and convenience make them a valuable addition to any outdoor adventure.

Don't get left stranded by the roadside or water by not having a Lokithor rescue jump starter with air compressor capabilities onboard for your next adventure big or small.
