There are electric 12 volt models that can fill a tank to 100 psi and are easier
to install and require no power from the engine. This type is used on luxury
motorcycles for tire air and air shocks. I have seen what you are describing and
they are not very efficient. I doubt it can develop enough cfm to run air tools
but airing up tires it could do.
