There is your difference. I don't own that particular compressor, but I have one similar for air up bike tires, pool floaties, and the occasional flat tire.

I can tell you from personal experience that this type of compressor will not push enough CFM to do what you have in mind. Even the bigger Craftsman version that I had would take forever to fill a completely flat tire. It helped if I jacked the truck up to alleviate resistance, but it still took a good 15 minutes or more.

One more thing regarding longevity is the cheaper units don't have a bearing on the connecting rod. They have a cheap oil less bushing. I found this out when one of mine threw a rod.
