Nope.
Like schnikies79 said above that little pump won't have sufficient volume.

Your best bet is to get a 5 gallon tank like this* for $23 and charge it for free at the gas
station when you fuel up.

If you clean a lot of PC's it will pay for itself pretty quick if you were buying canned air previously.

Plus, as doublejack was saying you can save even more money on tires & fuel
by using the portable tank to keep your tires properly inflated.
My dad owns a repair shop, so I can probably use that!

Are there any smaller portable ones that you can refill?? My dad's air compressor is bigger than a human and is fully standing up, so I have more power than I would need. :) Just gotta find something that I can refill and reuse everytime... the smaller, the better.

*EDIT*
ACTUALLY, SOME OF YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THIS OUT!!! WHAT A COINCIDENCE THAT IT'S ON SLICKDEALS!!! CLICK HERE AND CHECK THE TOP FOR TODAY'S SPECIAL!!

can you charge those with an air compressor or do you have to take it to a gas station?

Not sure. Refillable air tanks are usually 5gal or larger from what I've seen. Much smaller
and they won't have enough volume for most automotive needs.
Look around, you may be able to get a smaller one. They used to sell kits to
change a propane tank for air but they put a stop to that. Probably because of tank failures.

Both :)
Or you could use one of those cheap little emergency compressors you put in
your trunk to charge the refillable tank.

$7.99 for three cans is not bad. That's 9 cans for about the same price as
the 5gal tank I suggested above. However the tank is refillable indefinitely. :p
 
ok, well someone took down my deals thread about the Walmart 2 Gallon air compressor for $22.18, but you all know that its a cherry deal that walmart most likely screwed up on. So if you've changed your mind you can still hit up walmart and take a look at them. I'm going to try to find out why the mods rejected my thread without explanation.

You should PM them and ask. They will gladly answer. :)
