12v Tyre inflator - recommendations sought

[GollyOlly]

I have an older version of the Ring inflator which is good but like the newer one it has a screw on connector which annoyingly lets the air pressure escape as you're unscrewing it-so i bought this adaptor & extension which works very well.

Over inflate on the tyre pressure by a pound or two using the Ring and then use your tyre pressure gauge to zero in the pressure. Don't trust the Ring indicator as it is not accurate.

Got this one. Bit noisy, but it does the job and is very small.View attachment 132264

That’s the one I use - very pleased with it

Went to the local Halfords and bought the manual dual cylinder foot pump for £15 and it stores under the drivers seat nicely if your so inclined for a little leg exercise...no battery drain and works well

Initially I thought cordless wouldn't be man enough, but I guess as long as its got a 12v, or even better 18v battery it should be fine - those compressors can run through a battery quickly.
I've not read what they are capable of in terms of inflation time but would assume they could do at least two tyres.
I must be honest, I was tempted by a cordless one - as long as it had a lead back up as knowing my luck it would be dead when I want it.

Amazon sent the wrong Ring one so I should get it Monday - will post back once I've tried it.

Yeah, my criteria is corded. Don't want rechargeable as don't trust pump run time! Preset and cut off, plus small & compact with stowage bag.

Being a collector of all things makita, I’ve got this.

I have this also Screwfix had an offer on it, only one drawback is that it has auto shut off but you need to pull the trigger all the time LOL

Hi Folks,

Looking for recommendations for a tyre inflator (12v) that comes in a bag, or easily stored & compact (good for stowage in the Cali).

I'd like one that you can program & turns off at the preset pressure.

Keen for your thoughts.

Thanks

Ring RAC830. Maybe overkill, but seems very robust with bag and cable stowage.

I came across this one in a YouTube video of “must haves” for your Cali:

I bought Bosch Easy pumps for my daughter and wife’s cars, but a YaberAuto air compressor and jump starter for the GC.

Also use the Bosch, compact, reliable and can be set on auto and left.

I bought a Sealey CTI120 after it took top spot in a What Car? review. I've used it to deflate tyres to get my Cali out of its temporary garage (quite easy to drive down the ramp but back up was a different matter). Also used it to blow them all up again. Easy and no problem - once i discovered that my willing helper had already taken off the VW dust caps
