When you say pumping up struts, if you mean the nose strut on a Cessna
the compressor won't do it. You need a special tool as there is a hell
of a lot more pressure in that strut than 150 psi.


Only 40 psi on my 177B, that's with no weight on the nosewheel, which
is the way you are supposed to inflate it (tail tied down). Even with
weight *on*, its still only about 120psi, even my cheapo 12V portable
inflates that.
