Yeah, I'd have said that too, except that there's no air flow (at least
discernable airflow... Like if you hold it on there you can't hear any air
flowing and holding it in place for probably 10 seconds doesn't change the
pressure in the tire).
It could be that the pressure switch on my current compressor stops the
party early, for all I know.
I'd say this is 50% justification and 50% need. That's an average of 25%
need in reality and 75% need reported to my wife.
