Super little tyre inflato
This tyre inflator is so light and compact, stores in the boot and does what it says on the can, very reasonable priced too. After seeing this my brother went and bought one too.
It works
Really good.
Used for the first time today, living in a remote area having to drive to pump up tyres especially in colder weather when they are likley to need more pressure.
Less than 10 mins to make sure my car is safe. For me it will pay for itself as i don’t have to use fuel to pump my tyres and i don’t need to scrat about for 50p each time.
It does eventually unwind!
Works a treat! Love it! Although Spent most of the day trying to unwind the power lead poking it with a knife, probably best use a screwdriver & push into the hole in an anti clockwise direction while pulling really hard on the lead or maybe it was just mine, slightly noisy & wiggles about, not brilliant but best on the marke
Efficient and Convenient Tire Inflatio
Its most notable feature is the exclusive retractable power cord, making it incredibly convenient and tidy. The LCD display adds to its modern appeal and functionality. Its strong motor efficiently inflates car tires from 0-35psi in just about 5 minutes, and the maximum pressure of 150 PSI is more than adequate for daily needs. The addition of an LED light is a thoughtful touch for nighttime emergencies. The auto-shutoff feature is a lifesaver, preventing over-inflation. Its versatility impresses me the most; with multiple adapters included, I can use it for cars, bikes, and even sports equipment. Plus, the 24-month warranty gives me peace of mind. It’s compact enough for easy storage in my car, making it perfect for on-the-go situations.
Fab !
Easy and compact enough to store in boot of the car for travelling , quick and easy to use and has many attached so very handy for a lot of different things ie footballs
Great quality air compresso
This tire inflator is great as it is small enough to keep in the back of your car and is powered by plugging it into your cigarette lighter. This means you never have to worry about it running out of charge. Great for emergencies and for inflation on the go. It comes with lots of different ends for different needs and it is great quality. It also has a handy storage compartment in the base for the different ends. This well made unit is easy to use and works really well.
The build quality is better than I was expecting actually. It’s well put together and feels pretty solid.
The light on it is a little feeble if I’m being honest and lacks any SOS or strobe function. However it is bright enough that in dark conditions it allows you to see what you need to see at the roadside.
The nozzle adapters are neatly stored away in the base under a plastic cover. It keeps them from going astray. In a similar fashion the retractable cable works well. Press the retraction button and gentle feed the cable back into the device and it saves you fighting with coiling cable.
In use it’s really easy and intuitive to get to grips with. I can believe what the manufacturers say about the compressor being quite powerful ad able to operate for extended periods. The pressure climbed at a fairly constant rate throughout a tyre inflation. Some cheaper ones tend to slow down as the pressure increases, but this seemed fairly consistent.
The auto shut-off works just as it should, which should protect you from accidental over inflation.
So like and dislikes? Mostly likes to be fair. I like the build quality, the cable retraction and cable length is very adequate to reach all four tyres. I also like the fact the hose, cable and adapters are all stored inside the device body, making it much easier to use and store. Dislikes are minimal, more niggles than dislikes. The carry pouch for it offers little protection to the device other than scratch protection. Also as I already said the light is a little underpowered and has no strobe or SOS function. Overall though it’s a pretty capable device.
The video attached shows you a tyre I intentionally deflated and you can see the rate of inflation throughout the pressure range of my tyres. 18″ low profile, wide tyres if it gives you a better idea of performance.
I like it, genuinely I do, especially for the money they’re asking, 29.99 with a 20% discount. It’s on par with similar items from large automotive shops and roadside assistance organisations, but I have to say it’s better quality than those I’ve seen from them.
