Question:
I’m debating between the PT85NJ with the light and the PT75NJ. Other than the light, what’s the real difference?

Jason, here’s the breakdown: the # PT75NJ goes up to 150 psi and has a slightly longer air hose at 18 inches, while the # PT85NJ maxes out slightly lower, at 100 psi with a 15 inch hose.
The big advantage of the # PT85NJ is that built-in LED for nighttime use. So if you need the higher-pressure range - say for truck or trailer tires - the # PT75NJ is the better fit. If you mainly use it on standard passenger vehicles and like the lighted work area, the # PT85NJ is going to do just fine.
Which do you see yourself using more often?
