DON”T BUY BLACK AND DECKER
Nice unit, nice features – BUT no parts or service is available.
After a few years of very light household duty, the air impeller on this model failed.

Works for me
The B&D VEC026BD is a replacement for a previous similar product. I had been looking around at various replacement options for several months before settling on the VEC026BD.

Helpful Unit
The inflator is only good for bike, wheelbarrow tires – not for a car. The unit will easily start a car.

Great return policy!!!!
OK product would like something not as heavy & cables should be attached. However, the LED lights did not work and Amazon shipped another unit very fast.
