Will not inflate tires

Only have had it a few days but found out it will not inflate anything with a valve stem. Air line does not depress the pin in the middle of the valve stem allowing air to pass through the valve stem. As soon as you try to use the compressor with a valve stem the compressor shuts off because it is only compressing the air between the compressor and the valve stem. Do not know if other Fatmaxs have the same problem.

Doesn't last

Have purchased 5. All of them had pump burn out while trying to air up more than a car tire (SUV, pick-up, or trailer). Battery doesn't hold charge after a while. One died in a year, the others varied. I wanted it to be good. That's why I chalked up the 1st two failures to neglect or lemon's. But after buying 3 more...

Doesn't last

I purchased 3 of these to give as Christmas gifts to my adult children. Now all 3 are dead and non-functional. This product obviously has some sort of design flaw, since all 3 units did not last the year. Since this product is made to stay charged and kept ready for an emergency, it isn't like it is used all the time. It can't stand occasional use. I paid much higher than the current price for these, so I am not happy. This was not a case of a cheap product not lasting--I specifically purchased this due to the Fat Max name with an expectation of a quality product that would last.

This thing is the best!

The battery on my v8 titan was dead and this had no trouble jumping me every day for a week until I could get it replaced. It also had no issues inflating my low truck tires. It's great for power outages too to keep my phone charged. I've had mine for over 3 years with no issues. I take it camping, too. It works great with my golf cart batteries if they get too low in the winter and the charger wont work. Perfect for golf cart tires and bike tires and recharging the portable speaker around the campfire.

Good, while it lasted

Purchased March 2019, and as of September 2020, unit will not suffice when it comes to inflating that low pressure tire while on the road. The key thing I remembered when I read the manual, was to ensure I charged the unit monthly, if I wasn't actively using it. I did a good job doing so, but the lead acid battery has decreased in reliability and since it is not serviceable, I have a pile of ewaste. I was hoping for a solution which would work 2-3 years, but this is the same product offered in club for a jump starter/inflator, and I am hesitant to purchase it again. Frustrating.

Stay Away!!! Run Away!!!

Stay away from this piece of junk. People who made this product should be put in jail for making junk like this. First it doesn't come with its own cord to charge. And for most it will fail miserably when you need it the most and get you stranded. 9 out of 10 times it will fail to crank your car/lawn mower. Just run away from it and don't look back.

Terrible. Stanley warranty company Baccus Global

Bought for my sons birthday. He charged per instruction. Never worked. Instructions state to not return product to store but to Baccus Global. Customer is responsible for shipping cost. I shipped it from the midwest and the USPS cost, it's bulky, was $45! I paid $63 plus tax for it. So my real cost, no fault of my own, was now over $110. Sams Club, Stanley, and Baccus should be ashamed.

Please Don’t Waste Your Money

This company…Wow!!! I bought the older version and the battery does not keep a charge over time to conduct a jump. Then called the company to report how the product didn’t last they said they weren’t meant to and that was that. So don’t buy for yourself or as a gift etc. find something else please. Be warned!!!

We appreciate your feedback. This model is designed to last the lifespan of the internal battery. Depending on the age of a unit, the internal battery can expire. To extend the life span of this model, we recommend charging this unit every 30 days. to keep the battery fully charged. If a battery is stored in weak/depleted status this can cause the battery to suffer damage and can shorten the lifespan.

Air compressor failed after 3rd tire.

The compressor stopped working after the 3rd tire. I was adding about 5 psi to each tire. It was working great until it stopped working on the 4th tire. I thought it was low on battery so I charged it up and it still didn't work. I only got to use it twice since having it. The first time was to help a co-worker jumped start his vehicle and the second time was adding 5 psi each to three tires on my vehicle.

Save your money, buy something else

I bought this a few years ago (mine is a 1000). Air compressor is very slow, but at least it works, kind of. At least I can get an emergency jump when needed, it'll still be worth the price. Today I tried to use the jump start feature. NOPE. No go. Battery gauge says full charge, but it will not jump start my pickup... just a few clicks, not even close to the power needed. I'm just thankful that I tried the jump feature with my truck parked in front my house. I bought this for Jeeping. Thankfully I didn't need it when there was no option b. Now I own an expensive cell phone charger.
