Go to Repco or Supercheap and buy a compressor with a tank, they are under $200 and pull your roadside assist card at Repco for 20% off.
Alternatively, Scumtree and Facebook have dozens of secondhanders for $100.
It's going to get used regularly and inflates tyres 100% of the time, no fcking about with trips to the servo or worrying that your floor pump might not do it.

It's good to experiment. I am sure most of us have some unconventional practices.

What part do you think doesn't work?

I don't have $200 to splash out on something I'd use a few times a year and I haven't needed one so far. My tyre didn't inflate because the tubeless valve was shit.

Using tyre levels to seat the bead. If your bead is all wobbly, try taking the tyre out of its packaging, "popping" the folded sections out so the tyre's in it's natural, round shape and letting it sit on the ground for a few days before mounting. Shouldn't need to do anything other than tip some sealant in and pump it up after that.

It's a pre-loved tyre. New tyres aren't as uncooperative!

I use mine on every tyre change, the $120 Repco 25L compressor is probably 8-10 yrs old now.
New tyre, no valve, hit with comp, inflated and seated in 3 seconds. Finger over valve stem and screw in presta valve. Top up to required pressure. Complete job done in less than 30 seconds.
Can't be fucked messing with a pump, I did it for years and won't go back there.

To be fair, I've only needed to worry about my tyres but with two more MTBs on the scene, it might be worth a look further down the line.
Did you have to buy a Presta adapter separately for yours?

Rode it to work. Noticed the creak was back 
Rode it home again. Almost went backwards due to the wind!
Went to take photos of the Altitude so I can list it for sale. Noticed that the tires have deflated again. Fuck knows what'd going on them. New rubber, new sealant, new valves but they don't stay up. The rim seems ok so maybe tape is the issue...

Do you still have the Norco Optic?
I've had a small compressor from Supercheap for 14 years, use it all the time. Hand pumps are for wan.....ng
