Abstract: A pencil tire gauge with a tubular pencil gauge housing and having a first end and an opposite second end with a linear longitudinal centerline axis through a center of the first end and second end. The first end has a nozzle inlet on the longitudinal centerline and adapted to receive a tire valve stem. The first end and nozzle inlet are on and tilted offset with respect to the longitudinal centerline, and the nozzle inlet is offset at an angle of less than about 10°.

Abstract: A portable inflator includes a housing having or including a compressor. The housing may also contain or include a handle and stand. The housing has an outer surface at least in part formed or constructed of a light reflective material. Suitable light reflective materials can include reflective plastic materials or the like.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment can be inflator having an integrated compressor and carry handle. The compressor can include a housing having a top surface contoured to form at least a first portion of a first container holder. The carry handle can he foldable between a first upright carry position and a second folded position wherein the carry handle lies flush with a top surface of the compressor housing. The carry handle can include an inner grasping area contoured to form at least a second portion of the first container holder when the carry handle is in the folded position and wherein the carry handle second portion of the first container holder is complementary to the compressor housing first portion of the first container holder.
