I’m looking for suggestions on an inexpensive but efficient tire inflator to air up tires after off roading
Thanks!

I'm done with cheap ones.
I used a dual cylinder one from Napa. Looks and works like more expensive and can do 4 tires at once.
And the Milwaukee 18v compressor. One tire at a time but fast and auto shut off. I used the heck out of it.

Yep, I use the Napa dual cylinder portable air compressor too. It does a great job for a great price. I'm not sure how long it will actually last but so far after 2.5 years, it still works like new.

I looked at what they have available now and it looks a little different and about $50 more than I paid.

I looked on Amazon and this one looks pretty close to what I have now. https://a.co/d/bZ3nq73
I'm sure they are all made by the same Chinese factory and sold to different companies under their brand.

I did add a quick connect to mine so I could take the hose off easily.

I use a Napa variant from TD industry it’s the trickflate 300 I did add the pressure switch and quick release hose and I use a MORRFLATE 4-way hose. I keep it in a HF box I modded my Air compressor with Anderson connector so I don’t have to open my hood and hook up alligator clips to the battery plus I can use the Anderson connector for jumper cables. https://td-distributing.myshopify.com/products/trickflate-dual-cylinder-12v-300-l-min-air-compressor

Buy once …. Cry once…. Spend the coins if able and bite the bullet… Thor Lightning is an excellent choice.

I really like the Viair. The 300P is $137 at Amazon right now.
This one is inexpensive at less than $40, but it's been surprisingly accurate whenever I've used it. It's slower than the Viair or other heavy duty compressors, and you'll need to let it cool for a few minutes after each tire so it doesn't overheat or it WILL shorten the lifespan of the pump. This is necessary for almost every compressor made, but the heavy duty ones can run longer before having to cool and they move more air so they aren't running as long so don't build up as much heat.
https://www.astroai.com/portable-air-compressor-100psi-yellow/ap/1000145 Sometimes you can find it on sale on Amazon for just under $20. That was the reason I tried it in the first place, and mostly used it on the cars at work. I wouldn't want to use it frequently to bring tire pressure from 15-20 up to 33PSI on 30s
