For off-roaders who air down and want fast refills on big tires without paying ARB prices. Drivers who only top up car tires should get something smaller.

ARB CKMTP12 Twin Portable
#4 in Heavy dutyFull review
For serious overlanders with 35 in and larger tires, or groups airing up several vehicles, who want the fastest portable air and can justify the price. Most drivers are better served by a single-motor unit.
