yeah, it might work, but it depends on how big of a chamber you are trying to pressurize. And it can work with a schrader valve. :D

You know, you could always just buy a power inverter for your car and use your regular air compressor. I have a 1500 watt one mounted in my car which works fine, and i just run the engine every ten minutes or so for a while to charge the battery.

....Gas compressor?
Expensive and loud, but very fast and efficient.
What about one of those small compressors used for air brushing?
