OK gentlemen, here is what you do to get a $105 jump box with decent tire inflator. As usual Evan was ahead of his time:
$65 Tacklife T6 Lithium starter actually works. I guess I'm done with lead-acid motorcycle battery jump starters. My bar is low; it starts a Miata with a totally dead battery, but it works, and it's tiny (fits in a NA Miata glovebox!). It also comes with a cigarette lighter output...

...which is perfect for their $40 inflator

Also shown is the Campbell Hausfeld inflator which is fantastic, but draws more than 10A and most of these jump-starters won't run it.

Both inflators read a psi or two lower than my trusty gauge, which is fine, as the threaded attachments always release a decent amount of air. Campbell Hausfeld fills a 235/17/45 tire from 30 to 36 psi in 45 sec, has a real heat sink and a fan. Tacklife does the same in 70 sec, appears to have a fake plastic heatsink, but is otherwise equally hefty, a little quieter, and documentation and labels are an interesting brand of Engrish. Most importantly it runs off the jump box! I don't know why someone hasn't combined these products into one piece of plastic. I guess I'll have to make one out of wood.
