Evaluation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the summer of 2023,&nbsp;we received the X8 Apex portable tire inflator from Fanttik. While using the unit and writing this review, we kept three things in mind, outlined below. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"three_ships_widget-wrapper collapsable_content_widget\" id=\"collapsable_content_widget-block_5c6a84f8eb661db373f39bba8e7527f8\" style=\"height: 40px;\">\n\t\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Versatility &amp; Robustness:<\/strong>&nbsp;We imagined our readers would purchase something like the X8 Apex with the intent to use it for a range of applications, from vehicle and bicycle tires to balls and other inflatables. We also looked for \u201cvalue-added\u201d features, such as the built-in LED flashlight for inflating a tire at night. Since Michigan is home to&nbsp;<em>Automoblog<\/em>, one of our key benchmarks when evaluating products like this is if we would feel comfortable placing it in our winter emergency kit.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ease-of-Use:<\/strong>&nbsp;The Fanttik X8 Apex has a digital screen with multiple attachments and accessories. We looked at how quickly everything could be removed from the storage bag and assembled since having a low tire is both an inconvenience and a potential safety hazard.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Battery Life:<\/strong>&nbsp;We looked at two considerations here: the time it takes the battery to recharge from empty and how many minutes the unit can run under repeated use. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"show-more-bar\">\n\t\t\t<span>Show more<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span>Show less<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fanttik X8 Apex Review Summary <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Portable tire inflators, like the Fanttik X8 Apex, pack the convenience and functionality of a larger air compressor into a cordless, handheld unit. Complete with different adapters and adjustable presets for vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, and balls, the Fanttik X8 Apex provides a maximum pressure of 150 psi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The X8 Apex is well-suited for any winter emergency kit with an integrated flashlight and USB-A outlet, which will charge a phone in a pinch. We have our X8 Apex in our winter emergency kit, but we don&#8217;t recommend letting it sit dormant for too long, as that can discharge the battery. We advise charging it periodically so it&#8217;s ready to go if and when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not counting any specials or promotions, the X8 Apex normally retails for about $130. Below, we cover the main features of the Fanttik X8 Apex if you are in the market for a portable tire inflator.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"three_ships_widget-wrapper single_provider_widget\" id=\"single_provider_widget-block_2ac5a4942773e1fa1025061ec162ee64\">\n    <div class=\"three_ships_widget-table middle\">\n        <div class=\"table-body\">\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"superlative\">\n                    <h5>Fanttik X8 Apex <\/h5>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"logo\">\n                    <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46zsTsM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\">                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-10-e1687990182125.jpg\" alt=\"Fanttik X8 Apex (10)\">\n                    <\/a>                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"btn-group\">\n                                        <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46zsTsM\" class=\"btn btn-primary full\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Get Best Price<\/a>\n\t                                                <span class=\"sp-btn-disclaimer\"><p><em>As an Amazon Associate, Automoblog earns from qualifying purchases.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>\n\t                                                        <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"summary-text\"><p>The Fanttik X8 Apex is a cordless, handheld tire inflator designed for vehicles, motorcycles, bikes, and balls.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFlashlight doubles as an SOS beacon, while an additional USB-A outlet charges a phone or tablet in an emergency.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOne-year manufacturer warranty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fanttik X8 Apex: What It Offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The X8 Apex has a digital display screen, a rubber air tube roughly 18 inches long, a needle valve adapter, a Schrader-Presta valve adapter, USB-C charging cable, an owner&#8217;s manual, and a cloth storage bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the storage bag is a separate pocket for the adapters and charging cord. The adapters attach to the top of the rubber air tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Air Tube <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The air tube screws clockwise into the top of the X8. Since the air tube is already fitted with a Schrader valve, you can inflate vehicle tires without any additional accessories once the tube is attached (the Schrader valve, or &#8220;American valve,&#8221; is the standard valve on nearly every motor vehicle today). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rubber air tube is flexible and maneuverable, making it easier to attach to the valve stem no matter how your car is parked or positioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presta &amp; Needle Valve Adapters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the Presta valve for bicycle tires, including mountain bikes and 700cc road bike clincher and tubular tires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presta valve adapter makes the Fanttik X8 Apex a more versatile tool, especially if your vehicle has a bike rack installed. If needed, the X8 Apex can inflate your vehicle and bike tires on the go. The needle valve provides additional convenience for inflating basketballs, footballs, volleyballs, and soccer balls on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flashlight &amp; Power Bank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of the X8 Apex is an LED flashlight for working at night (the button for the flashlight is to the left of the power button). It doubles as an SOS beacon in the event of an emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the bottom of the X8 is an additional USB-A port that serves as an independent power source when it&#8217;s not inflating tires. You can use this feature to charge your phone, tablet, or other electronic device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-LED-Light-1-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-LED-Light-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Fanttik X8 Apex has a built-in LED light for working at night.

During an emergency, the flashlight will double as an SOS beacon. Photo: Danielle Anthony.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fanttik X8 Apex Battery Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fanttik X8 Apex takes between two to 2.5 hours to charge fully. According to the owner&#8217;s manual, the battery should last about 40 minutes on a full charge in ideal conditions. The battery&#8217;s exact life will depend on how demanding the inflation job is, the weather conditions and ambient temperature, and if you use the flashlight simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the job, the Fanttik X8 Apex should provide the air you need between 30 seconds and six minutes. Quick &#8220;top-offs&#8221; can be done in under a minute for a smaller tire, while filling a low car tire may take a minute or two.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Fanttik, on a full charge, the X8 Apex will handle up to four average-sized vehicle tires, 17 bike tires, 12 motorcycle tires, and nearly 90 balls. It&#8217;s unlikely you would ever need that much capacity at one time, but Fanttik&#8217;s &#8220;over-engineering&#8221; makes the X8 Apex worth every penny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fanttik X8 Apex Charging Tips <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend charging the Fanttik X8 Apex right after you buy it and before you use it for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the fall and winter, when tire pressures drop due to cooler temperatures, the Fanittik X8 Apex can be worth its weight in gold. Living in Michigan, we have started our vehicle on cold mornings to find the tire pressure light on, so we are glad to have our X8 Apex for these occasions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we have gotten into the habit of periodically charging our X8 Apex to avoid getting caught off guard on a cold morning with a low tire&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;a portable tire inflator with a low battery! Once a month, we charge our X8 Apex back to full again, so it&#8217;s ready to go if and when we need it on a cold day. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"three_ships_widget-wrapper single_provider_widget\" id=\"single_provider_widget-block_2ac5a4942773e1fa1025061ec162ee64\">\n    <div class=\"three_ships_widget-table middle\">\n        <div class=\"table-body\">\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"superlative\">\n                    <h5>Fanttik X8 Apex <\/h5>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"logo\">\n                    <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46zsTsM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\">                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-10-e1687990182125.jpg\" alt=\"Fanttik X8 Apex (10)\">\n                    <\/a>                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"btn-group\">\n                                        <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46zsTsM\" class=\"btn btn-primary full\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Get Best Price<\/a>\n\t                                                <span class=\"sp-btn-disclaimer\"><p><em>As an Amazon Associate, Automoblog earns from qualifying purchases.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>\n\t                                                        <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"summary-text\"><p>The Fanttik X8 Apex is a cordless, handheld tire inflator designed for vehicles, motorcycles, bikes, and balls.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFlashlight doubles as an SOS beacon, while an additional USB-A outlet charges a phone or tablet in an emergency.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOne-year manufacturer warranty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Display Screen &amp; Mode Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Press and hold the power button to activate the X8 Apex. The bright white text shows the different modes, battery life, and the current and target tire pressure with a +\/- two psi accuracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mode button, to the right of the power button, is indicated by a small &#8220;perpetual circle&#8221; icon. Tap it to scroll through four preset modes: Car, Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Ball, each indicated by a small icon on the display screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fanttik calls the individual modes &#8220;controlled inflation,&#8221; meaning the X8 Apex delivers a default pressure relative to the mode and no further, stopping automatically once said pressure is reached. For example, the default pressure in Car Mode is 36 psi, although you can manually adjust the range from 26 to 50 psi via the arrow buttons. Either way, the X8 Apex will stop running once it reaches the set pressure to prevent overinflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fanttik X8 Apex also has a manual mode where you can adjust the target pressure from as low as three to 150 psi. Press the &#8220;perpetual circle&#8221; button until you don&#8217;t see any icons on the display screen for the other preset modes. Once you set the target pressure, tap the power button to start the flow of air. Like the default pressures in the preset modes, the X8 Apex will stop automatically once it reaches the target pressure specified in manual mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4.jpg\" alt=\"The numbers on the display screen will climb as the Fanttik X8 Apex delivers air into your tire. \" class=\"wp-image-431182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The numbers on the display screen will climb as the X8 Apex delivers air into your tire. Photo: Danielle Anthony. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fanttik X8 Apex In Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I received the X8 Apex from Fanttik, I had a slow leak from a nail near the sidewall in my right rear tire. I would typically use my&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/slime-inflator-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Slime 12V Inflator<\/a>&nbsp;for something like this, but it allowed me to test the X8 Apex as I waited for a replacement tire. Although I am happy with my Slime inflator and glad I bought it, the cordless, handheld design of the Fanttik X8 Apex is more advantageous in terms of convenience and storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Granted, it&#8217;s not an exact apples-to-apples comparison &#8211; the Fanttik X8 Apex and the Slime 12V Inflator &#8211; but if it&#8217;s all the same, I will opt for a cordless unit regardless of the brand. With handheld, battery-powered tire inflators, you won&#8217;t hassle with draping the 12V cord out your window and around your vehicle (and Slime makes a cordless and portable tire inflator, too, if you prefer that brand). Simply put, a cordless tire inflator with an internal battery is easier to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nail in my rear tire only caused a slow and gradual leak, but slow and gradual equate to persistent and annoying. I would see a low tire pressure warning light on my info screen every few days. For me, this is where the Fanttik X8 Apex proved its worth, especially since the replacement tire I needed was on backorder. While the X8 Apex can handle a completely flat tire, it&#8217;s ease-of-use for quick, repeated fill-ups like this make it a good option if you are in the market for a portable tire inflator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The default sensor accuracy is perhaps our only constructive critique of the Fanttik X8 Apex. According to the owner&#8217;s manual, when the X8 Apex gets a reading on a tire, it&#8217;s within a +\/- two psi accuracy. By contrast, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/fanttik-x8-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smaller Fanttik X8 inflator<\/a>&nbsp;has a +\/- one psi accuracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably not a deal-breaker for the average person, especially since the larger X8 Apex is better for vehicle tires versus the standard X8, but it&#8217;s something to keep in mind. Properly inflated tires will ensure your vehicle&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fueleconomy.gov\/feg\/maintain.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gets the best gas mileage<\/a>, and even a one psi drop can have a marginal impact.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"three_ships_widget-wrapper single_provider_widget\" id=\"single_provider_widget-block_e9a4718d22e4928087eb2b36ba96b025\">\n    <div class=\"three_ships_widget-table middle\">\n        <div class=\"table-body\">\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"superlative\">\n                    <h5>Fanttik X8 Apex<\/h5>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"logo\">\n                    <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46zsTsM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\">                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fanttik-X8-Apex-10-e1687990182125.jpg\" alt=\"Fanttik X8 Apex (10)\">\n                    <\/a>                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"table-column\">\n                                <div class=\"btn-group\">\n                                        <a data-segment-action=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46zsTsM\" class=\"btn btn-primary full\" rel=\"noopener sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Get Best Price<\/a>\n\t                                                <span class=\"sp-btn-disclaimer\"><p><em>As an Amazon Associate, Automoblog earns from qualifying purchases.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>\n\t                                                        <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"summary-text\"><p>The Fanttik X8 Apex is a cordless, handheld tire inflator designed for vehicles, motorcycles, bikes, and balls.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFlashlight doubles as an SOS beacon, while an additional USB-A outlet charges a phone or tablet in an emergency.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOne-year manufacturer warranty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is The Fanttik X8 Apex Worth The Money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Portable tire inflators are one of those things that you would rather have and not need than need and not have. It&#8217;s convenient when you have an unexpected low tire from a nail or bead leak or need to air up the occasional inflatable raft or volleyball while out with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might use a portable tire inflator more frequently if you manage a fleet of vehicles or have multiple trucks and ATVs around the farm. If so, you will appreciate the robust and durable feel of the Fanttik X8 Apex.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living in Michigan, I often add things like the Fanttik X8 Apex to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Msy6EJJiGTA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our winter emergency kit<\/a>.&nbsp;The X8 Apex can air up a low tire, has a built-in flashlight with an SOS beacon, and an additional USB port for charging a phone. That&#8217;s a pretty solid feature set at a reasonable price. Not counting any deals or promotions, the X8 Apex retails for about $130.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Carl Anthony is the Managing Editor of Automoblog and the host of AutoVision News Radio and AutoSens Insights.

Tire Inflators Worth It?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A high-quality portable tire inflator, be it corded or battery-powered, will come in handy when you find yourself with an unexpected low tire from things like a nail or bead leak.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700929589186\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can My Car Be Running While Using a Tire Inflator?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>While some vehicles may require the ignition to be set in the ACC\/accessory mode in order for a corded inflator to operate, we recommend keeping the engine off while using any portable tire inflator, corded or otherwise.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700929605263\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What PSI Should My Tires Be?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Most vehicles range between 30 and 35 psi, but it\u2019s important to have your tires properly inflated to ensure the best ride quality, fuel economy, and tread life. You can find the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle on a sticker or placard inside the driver\u2019s side door jamb.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fanttik X8 Apex is a cordless, handheld tire inflator designed for vehicles, motorcycles, bikes, and balls.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86,"featured_media":431182,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43035,43037],"tags":[],"model":[],"acf":[],"modified_by":"Carl Anthony","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431177"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/86"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431177"},{"taxonomy":"model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/model?post=431177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
