I’ve driven ALL over and can’t find a working car tire air pump. They’re either missing the piece on the end, don’t inflate to the set PSI (just beep immediately) or don’t work at all! TIA

You should get a tire inflator that runs off the cigarette lighter. They are pretty inexpensive.

Do you have one you recommend? I looked on Amazon gif one recently but there were conflicting reviews, many saying it wasn’t strong enough

The gas station next to Walmart has one that's always worked for me.

On warning its automatic and doesn't work if the tire is really low. The tire person there might help.

They are quite hard to come by in Columbia.

I went to the Firestone in Columbia and asked them to show me how to fill my tires and they just did it for me for free.

Lowes has a free pump near the contractor door. And the weis on rt 1 & 32 has been consistent for me.
I havent used either in a while tho.

That usually just means they take longer to inflate. Generally they'll still have the muscle to inflate the tire, just more slowly.

The one @ Lowes isn't working as of last week.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09C6C6BR1?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I bought this a month or two ago when my work vehicle had a slow leak in one tire and had to be refilled every couple days. Works great, you set the desired pressure and it'll shut off when it hits it. Charges off a USB-C cable, the same kind most phones use, so you can just charge it up and keep it in you trunk with a jumper box or something.
