Tyre inflation pumps - what do you use?

[MisterB]

Yep - another happy user of this one.

+1 for this one. Reliable and easy to use.

Ring tends to be a decent brand for value/performance. I have one of these, a bit faster than the car focused models.

I do have an ARB for off road use when airing up and down is a requirement, expensive but fast and durable.

Call me old fashioned, but I use one of these for home use. In the van I have a basic foot pump that I keep with the jack and good quality mechanical pressure gauge

At least you could have a tea break in the Cali

Having had a couple of digital ones which ran from the 12V socket but proved unreliable, I went fairly old-school with this pretty robust model from Ring.

I've had it about 6 years now. It runs direct from the vehicle battery terminals and had proved robust, reliable, quick and accurate. The air-hose also reaches easily to all the wheels on my LWB T6

All petrol stations near us either have crap or paying inflation stations - or both (the continent where I grew up had free pumps everywhere) so I am looking at purchasing a pump/compressor. Which (small/compact) type/model would you advise? There’s a lot out there online but I’d be happiest with advice from some discerning fellow Cali users. Thank you!

Michelin footpump, free workout!

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I had been looking for a new TP gauge and I am playing with pressures in my new tyres. Watching the videos, this looks like a great unit for checking and going up and down a few lbs without having to worry about cables. Added bonus, found someone selling it for £55 with next day delivery

That’s got an impressive 10/10 from Road.cc!
Clearly I need to up my game and get one of these double-barrelled bad boys… It won’t fit in the tool kit compartment but it does match the van so definitely worth it
