Would a cheap tyre compressor do, or are those strictly for tyre

Low volume, high pressure. You can hardly feel the draft froma tyre
inflator...

You need at least a tank to hold pressure.

It's called a tyre. Still not convinced I need a compressor but a
work around for blowing needs would be a bit of tube with a trigger
nozzle one end and tyre connector the other. I have a heavy duty tyre
inflator to fill the tyre.
