Default tire inflation octupus

Hi, trying to find a company I can buy a octupus for airing up 4 tires at a time. Yes, I could build one but that's not what I'm after. Doe's nobody build and sell these?

you mean something like a "4air" system.

I have 3 children so can just give each of them an air nib. I can handle the last one and my wife can get the spare!! Why would you want to attatch a hose to each tire then inflate them all very slowly at one time rather than do each one individually? Doesn't seem like it would really be any easier.

Its cheaper to build one yourself from harbor freight stuff. You can also make the lengths correct to reach your permanent air compressor location. It really shines when airing up since you plug it in, than can walk around and BS instead of constantly moving your air hose around.

However.

I feel like a dork everytime I pull it out and detangle it to air up or down.
