You Need One Of These!
You never actually realise you needed one of these until you have one and then when you get one, you will never go back to not having one. So many times these have ben ideal especially when away from home to keep in the boot, whether camping, holidays or days out. Also ideal to have at home too to avoid lengthy queues at petrol stations or as I had the once to be hurried along by a rude man when attempting to do my tyres myself for the first time. That situation mad me then nervous to do it again but now, I have the safety of my own home or wherever to do it myself.
This nifty bit of kit let’s you use your own cigarette lighter and obviously battery to pump up your tyres and is very simple to use. Just stay your car, plug into the cigarette lighter, attached the valve device to the tyre, then set your pressure ( as noted in your cars manual), turn on and let it do it’s thing till it auto shuts off.
It comes with different attachments that I didn’t realise that you can use it to blow up other things too. There are a set of instructions but also the sellers page is also a good reference too to. I like the fact that everything stores neatly and tucked away in the back of the device too, o very easy to store in your boot as it’s not roo large.
Compact and self-contained, solid performance
In a nutshell:
Things I liked:
+ Compact and everything is self-contained, folding up nicely around the back.
+ Handy to be able to set it and forget it when it comes to your desired pressure.
+ Choice of PSI, BAR, KPA and KG/CM2 units.
+ Performance is perfectly acceptable.
Things I didn’t like:
– It’s a little bit of a pain to plug it in to the 12V socket every time you want to use it, but the cable is a decent length.
– Gets a little hot when you’re using it for a while.
– Loud!
Do I recommend it?
Yes. 20 is fine for this.
Inexpensive and works well
I had a compressor supplied with one of our cars and have found it invaluable so decided to order this to keep in our other car just in case it’s needed which it was recently. It works really well and connects to the 12v socket in your car. The LED readings are easy to see and you just connect the hose to the tyre valve, set the desired pressure and off it goes, automatically shutting off when it reaches it’s target. The only downside with this inflator is how loud it is but then anyone who has used one of these before from any brand will have noticed it’s normal and that it’s not a flaw.
In summary, it’s good value at 19.99, easy to use, works as it should and is probably one of the better looking ones I’ve come across. Highly recommended
Brillia
This 12v tyre inflator is great, it comes with everything you need in the box including small bike valve adaptor, football attachment, a nozzle for inflatables and a spare fuse. I really like the cool design and the plastic casing is very tough and rigid with a clear and easy to read digital psi display for exact pressure accuracy, this tyre inflator also features a light to the front of the machine which is great in a night time emergency. I’ve had many types of these on the past and this one really seems like it will last a long time, it’s pretty quiet compared to most and with a big flat base it doesn’t vibrate around all over the place. Also comes fitted with a long 12v lead and plug to each any power outlet in your car or van. Highly recommend this tyre inflator and excellent value for money to.
It is what it is.
I have a Goodyear branded one that costs 2 times as much but this one is more compact and performs a lot better.
If you need a tyre inflator then you can’t go wrong with this one.
A statement piece; loud, but effective.
For those that like to be seen and heard. If your tyre goes flat on your way to the exclusive party, this is the inflator for you. Not only will it quickly get you back on the road, it will make sure that everyone knows it’s you while doing so. If inflating in BAR or PSI was last season, you’ve also got options for KPA and KG/ CM.
There are four attachments for the accessory conscious, which will inflate tyres, balls, air mattresses, and any other inflatable items that can accept one of the nozzles. The pump will read your current pressure; then you set where you want it to go, turn it on, and it will inflate to the target pressure before turning itself off again. I went from 1.87 BAR to 2.2 in a couple of minutes, with about ten minutes effort altogether.
The ignition doesn’t even need to be turned on, the 12V will power it as long as the doors are unlocked. It all wraps up fairly neatly in the case and has a lengthy three metre cord, which should be able to reach from the 12V socket on even the longest vehicles.
This is a good essential item for any vehicle, and well-priced.
Works well and was perfect for my elderly Step Fathe
Comes in a retail box with adapters for multiple items and a user guide.
I ordered this for my parents car as my Step Father broke his old foot pump and he is getting on
in years so this was perfect for him as he has some issues with his knees due to years of marathon running so using a foot pump is a bit of a struggle now.
The inbuilt cable was long enough to reach all 4 tires and the instructions and use was easy for my step father to understand and he is really pleased with this.
He only had to engage the electrical system in his car to use the pump and ran it off his battery.
The price is pretty good and the way the cables and air hose fold and store into the casing is good too so it’s perfect for storing in the boot.
This is a really useful thing to have in the boot of your car for the times when you’re stuck with a flat. For the money it’s an absolute bargain and it’s not worth being without one. It’s very light and you can reach all four wheels with the length of the power cord you get. Everything folds up back into the unit so it doesn’t take up much space, and you’re not going to be hunting for any specific components when they time comes to use it: everything you need is there in that blue case.
It works in the same way as the tyre pressure machines at the garage. You attach the hose to the valve and it will tell you what the current pressure is in the tyre. You then set the pressure you want and let it do its job: it will shut off when it gets to that point and then off you go.
I already have a 12v compressor however it’s a very old type that has the analogue dial. It works but you have to keep an eye on it as it’s either on or off, so you have to be there when you get to the pressure you want. In this case you can set it and then get back in the car. If you’ve ever had a flat in the rain or snow you’ll appreciate just how valuable this function is.
The only negative I can find is the length of the pressure hose section. If your tyre is flat and the valve is at the 12 o’clock position it’s potentially not long enough to reach without it you holding it. My old model has the same issue however so I’m not knocking any stars off the review for that.
For the price I think it’s a bargain, and I certainly wouldn’t be without one in my car now.
Perfect for topping up the tyres
My old car tyre pump had a manual gauge and a screw on piece for the valve which always meant inaccurate readings and lost air. This has a quick join/release mechanism and a digital reading. Seems to pump up the tyres quickly. Not too noisy. All in all pretty good.
Nice to have in the ca
We like to have a tyre pump in the car, that way if a tyre needs to be topped up or such the pump is on hand.
This is not the smallest, but it is fairly compact with the power cable and the tyre cable all packed underneath.
I do like that the inflation cable is not forced to flatten out when packed as some pumps do.
It is a simple device to use, attach everything, set pressure and turn on. It will stop when the set pressure is reached. The nice thing is remembers the set pressure, so next time you simply attach and switch it on, if it is the same car and same tyres.
It is not a quiet pump, but not any louder than I expected.
The extra nozzles can be stored underneath, I chose not to since I am sure if I store them on the pump I will bump the device and lose the nozzles. It is nice that the storage clips are there though, so I do still like that.
Overall, nothing fancy, does what it is supposed to and very simple to use
Handy to keep in the boo
I had the chance to test this car tyre pump last weekend before going on a long journey. I had noticed that my tyres needed a little top up and decided to use this new pump.
It was easy to set up just start the car and plug into the cars 12v supply then attach to the tyre. The pump will display the current tyre pressure and if needed set the psi and start inflating.
The pump comes with other attachments to pump balls or inflatables.
Handy to keep in the boot for quick checks and top ups.
The power cable is long enough but the attachment for air for the car could be longer as its so short its awkward to use unless the valve is near the bottom.
Good ki
Compact size. Comes with accessories for inflating other items, not just car tyres. Love it that it has a cut-off when desired pressure reached – so used to having to let air out from overinflating when distracted or left it to do something else. Has light for night time use.
Good power cable length – able to reach beyond all four tyres from the central 12v socket.
Loses a star – required to have the engine running while operating. Never had that before and not ideal.
Useful to keep in the car boo
This is a useful inflator to keep in the car boot as you never know when you might need to inflate a tyre in an emergency.
The unit comes with adaptors to inflate other things like bike tyres and footballs though no where to store them in/on also would have liked a storage bag to keep it protected in the boot, I do like the onboard cable storage however.
It has a nice long cable which reaches to each wheel on the car and even the spare in the boot, I tried it inflating one of the car tyres which needed a top up, it was at 27 psi and needed inflating to 32 psi which took less than 30 seconds which I thought wasn’t bad the only other thing was the onboard gauge measured 2 psi lower than my own gauge so keep that in mind if you don’t have another gauge to check.
As another review mentions the light is a bit pointless as it only comes on when inflating and if you are trying to use it in the dark you need a light to actually connect the adapter to the tyre before it starts, For the cost I do recommend it.
Reasonable value
Pros:-
1) The 12V lead is long enough to allow it to reach both wheels on one side of the car.
2) The ability to preset the pressure is very useful. Pressure can be set to 0.5 psi increments.
3) The air hose and 12V cable can be stored within the pump, making it compact and easy to carry around.
4) The display is backlit all the time that the pump is plugged in to a 12V supply. This makes it easier to read in the dark.
Cons:-
1) Although it has an LED light, the light only comes on when the pump is running. This is not much help when attaching the air hose to the tyre. It would be better if it had its own switch, or even if it was on all the time that the 12V lead was connected to the power supply.
2) The air hose was too short to reach the tyre valve on my 16 inch wheels if the valve was at the top of the wheel. This meant I had to either hang the pump off the valve, support it by hand, or move the car to get the valve at the bottom of the wheel. None of these are ideal.
3) The display is quite small and difficult to read, especially the units indication.
Overall, this pump has a number of limitations, but is reasonable value for money.
lightweight and portable, however comes with no carry handle
lightweight and portable, comes with no carry handles
inflates balls, inflates bike tyes and did actually inflate the vehicles tire.comes with the attachments required to pump up the required items, ball, bike, motorcycle, vechile etc…
nice colour too, – tip – would recomend that it gets a carry handle as doesn’t have one or a bag to store it in, doesn’t come with attachment holder as well – so be prepared to loose them at some point.
a value for money product though all the same and I do recomend you get yourself one of these
just by clicking into your cigarette lighter in your car your tyre be up in no time at all.
does also come retail packaged – 4 stars – due to the facts mentioned above
