Loki Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Hi I would recommend you look at Autoexpress and their tests on these - usually tested in real life Linky: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/product-group-tests/89534/best-air-compressors-mini-and-heavy-duty-car-tyre-inflators-tested L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Don't know if you have batteries (Dewalt/Makita/Red) but I got the RYOBI battery powered pump, I already had a BADAPTER for RYOBI for my 16 and 18 gauge nail guns - and Dewalt batteries for other tools Cracking, portable and quick - dial is a bit small - just make sure you have your glasses on if you need them for reading...

JohnfromUK Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I have a slightly older Ring - which looks exactly like the Sakura in the AutoExpress link above. It is poor. The 'programmable bit' worked unreliably for a period then gave up. The pressure gauge (which was quite accurate) gave up soon afterwards. It does still work in manual mode, but takes enough current to blow the cigar lighter fuse on some cars - (especially my Defender - where the fuses are not correctly labelled). Not recommended.

PhilR Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I have the Ring RAC900 as I need to pump my motorhome tyres up to 75psi and very few pumps get up to that pressure. It's very quick and it needs connecting directly to the battery. It gets a thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph5172 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 I bought one from a scrappy that was in the boot of a Toyota to pump up after using that foam can emergency stuff. screw on valve connector with a long lead. Pressure gauge is a bit off but constant so I know it reads 2 psi over now. maybe worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I would get. lithium battery, one that looks a bit like a cordless drill. The Ferrex\workzone one I have had both battery option and ability to operate directly from 12v socket in the car, best of both worlds and importantly a trigger lock.

Old Boggy Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 This is the one that I keep in the car and have used when I get an indication of a low tyre pressure and it does a good job, providing you don’t do as my neighbour did when he borrowed it and didn’t run his engine when using it and promptly flattened his battery. I think it cost me about £20. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the one that we have that I said above - RYOBI - looks to have a bigger dial though on the workzone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted March 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hi gang. Just found one in my car boot that came with the car. I've only had the car 3 years. Must pay more attention 😂. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
