Overview
The Thor's Lightning Strike is a Jeep-branded 12V air compressor built for serious tire work. It tops 155 PSI, holds a 75% duty cycle, and runs up to 45 minutes at a stretch, so it airs a full set of 35s without quitting on you halfway.
Key features
- TotalControl digital preset: dial in a target PSI and it runs hands-free, then shuts off automatically when it hits the number.
- 75% duty cycle with up to 45 minutes of runtime, backed by a redesigned cooling path that cuts cylinder temps about 30°F and motor temps about 40°F versus the prior model.
- ZeroOut calibration resets the pressure reading for changes in elevation so the gauge stays accurate.
- Live voltage readout on the digital display so you can monitor your battery while it runs.
- Clamps to the battery via a 120A Anderson plug and 9-foot clamped cable, or hard-mounts to a Refuge MOLLE mount system.
Use cases
Built for airing 35-inch Jeep tires down for the trail and back up after, with reviewers reporting a full set returned to factory pressure in about five minutes. It also tops off RV, trailer, and commercial tires and drives portable air tools, so it earns its spot in the rig beyond just tire duty.

How fast does it air up a 35-inch tire?
Reviewers report a 35-inch tire from about 10 to 35 PSI in under four minutes, and all four tires back to factory pressure in roughly five. Your times depend on tire size, target PSI, and battery voltage.
Does it shut off on its own at a set pressure?
Yes. Use the TotalControl preset to dial in your target PSI. It runs hands-free and shuts off automatically the moment it reaches the number, so you can walk the rig instead of babysitting a gauge.
How much power does it pull, and what battery do I need?
It draws hard like any high-output 12V compressor, so run it with the engine on or off a healthy, well-charged battery. It clamps straight to the battery with the included 120A Anderson plug and 9-foot clamped cable, and the display shows live voltage so you can watch your battery as it works.
Will it overheat airing up a full set of large tires?
It's rated for a 75% duty cycle and up to 45 minutes of runtime. A redesigned cooling path drops cylinder temps about 30°F and motor temps about 40°F versus the older model, which gives you margin to handle a full set of 35s.
Can I mount it permanently in my rig?
Yes. It's compatible with Refuge MOLLE mount systems for a fixed in-vehicle install, or you can keep it in the included padded carry bag and run it portable.
Why does the pressure reading need recalibrating?
Ambient pressure changes with elevation, which can throw off a gauge. The ZeroOut feature lets you reset the reading wherever you are, so your target PSI stays accurate from the desert floor to a mountain pass.
What comes in the box?
The compressor, a padded carry bag, a 120A Anderson plug, a 9-foot clamped power cable, a 22-foot air hose extension, and I/M quick-connect fittings.
