For people to waste money. People complain no money but got money to buy useless gadgets. They are poor because spending is so convenient and they have weak wills.

I have a portable electric pump in all my cars. It's indispensable.
If you come back to your car and see a flat tyre because you ran over a nail and didn't know, you can pump up the tyre, and drive to the tyre shop to get it patched. Without the pump, you will need to put on the spare tyre which most people don't know how to do.

I’ve been driving for more than 20yrs… almost on a daily basis… I only encountered flat tyre twice… only the first time need to change to spare tyre and drive to the nearest tyre shop to patch for $3-5… the 2nd time is with run flat tyre… just continue to drive and patch it for $5…

if I buy a pump especially to deal with flat tyre… I think the pump will either spoil first or get misplaced before I even have a chance to use it…

this is more for overseas when u are unable to find a petrol kiosk or tyre shop within the next 10-20km…

Wouldn't the air escape immediately?
Since it is a flat, there is a hole somewhere?

When the car stuck a nail and there is no gas station around, you are screwed without an air pump. Yeah, the car can drive until flat but damage the wheel rim then you can pay more.

No need to buy air pump bro like u said every patrol station got free air pump.

and trust me even u buy the air pump u won’t be using it maybe once in a life time.

but what u need is the pump gauge very few months u can use it to check your tire.
Some care they can even tell u which tyres need to pump air.

hope this help bro
