I bought it for this purpose. Btw it also deflates the thing. Game changer imo.

Yes - Have awkward 10ft tinny tied to tree,and was ? inflatable,but inflate/deflate defeated the benefit .
Will have another look,as kayak/small dinghy = swim .
Had a 8ft Walker Bay that was positively dangerous,but good for a child !

Consider an inflatable paddle board.

The blower will help with a SUP but they are quite high pressure (unlike a dinghy) so you also need to pump.

Got a $200 Lifetime Kayak from Big Bird Shop - to just get out to mooring/quick sail .
Like large Surf paddle board = very stable
Can even stand up on it,but careful !!
Only 17kg, so go on roofracks and take home .
Better than struggling with 10ft tinny ,that is resting under Tree on foreshore .

I bought one of these dual action compressors for the dinghy and paddle board,, best thing I ever did , it's now a pleasure to blow the things up.
It won't get the paddle board to 15 psi but does 12 psi which I find ok.

Ive been using a couple of these the last few years, works great. I made an extension hose for them from articulated washing machine hose. Where from, Bunnings of course. It has the advantage the batteries are transferrable between the power tools and a LED spot light we use.
