The 12v compressor is, in my opinion anyway, a must.
The only time I had a puncture miles from anywhere, I only had the compressed CO2 cylinders available. Not enough, specially as I fixed the wrong "hole" first...
With a compressor you can at least find the friggin hole for a start and don't end up poking a new one through a perfectly sound tyre wall...
Then you have enough grunt to pump the tyre up to proper pressure once fixed.
I got mine from SCA - "SCA Thunder" is the model. Carry it in the tail bag at all times. Currently selling at $75 but I got mine on a sale weekend for around $50. Well worth the hassle.
