And for Warren; I have a MV-50 air compressor.  MV-50 Air Compressor - SuperFlow.  And Hadley Ambassador air horns.  Security Check   They weren't that expensive back then.  I don't use their compressor, tank, or hoses, or switch.  The electric air valve and the two horns are all you need from them.  Harbor freight aluminum tank. I can fill the tank at home. Don't use the horn too much.  The cats ride in the cabover, and really don't like being just underneath the horns even if they (the horns) are outside.  The advertising slogan is the "sound heard a mile away".  They are pretty loud, the fundamental beat note is 210 Hz between the short and longer trumpets. Each horn has it's higher separate frequency along with harmonics. (so of course you get beat notes from the harmonics). Generally a broad spectrum of notes, loud but not too 'blaring'.  The neighbors don't appreciate me testing the horns either. (most have never heard them).
    With seven gallons of 125 psi, a sticking valve could be a problem. I have a manual valve that can turn off the air to the horns if necessary, within reach of the driver.  The plan was to integrate it into the car alarm, but remote paging with an electronic receiver is more discrete.  RonB

After watching the tire monkey remove my  lug nuts with a cordless tool, I'm very impressed by this Milwaukee. \https://www.grainger.com/product/423K59?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:4P7A1P:20501231&gclid=Cj0KCQiAtbqdBhDvARIsAGYnXBP3LtDrEjHGVIEURjHgJGz16NPklmA4lkUxnZcr3JdbSjsdVPtYDhkaAg3JEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
He also had a $400 Snap-On, but it was about 5 lbs heavier

My Ryobi 1/2” impact will loosen our Jeep’s lug nuts which are torqued to 130 ft/lb.
It will not break loose the LD’s lug nuts, I use a long breaker bar with a 36” cheater first.
My old Chicago Pneumatic 1/2” impact will loosen the LD’s lug nuts.

I carry a Ryobi 18v brushless 1/2 impact wrench and unpack sockets. I also carry a Ryobi inflator and some of their other power tools. Cheaper and batteries are interchangeable.
