Any one recomend a good one for the car.
Seen one that a mate has that has a small reciever on it, of the ones with the tank the best I have is one supplied by porche with thier cars.
-
Most of them are cheap shite that fails after a couple of uses IME.
I was trying to pump a trailer tyre up a month or so ago. Needed 60 PSI and the one on my "jump-start" battery pack thing hit a brick wall at about 50 PSI despite the pressure gauge and marketing BS claiming it was good for over 200 PSI. ;D Gave up when the motor started making nasty smells. ::)
Actually, I think the nicest one I've come across was an old Porsche one IIRC.

Yep, that is my experience too.

Too true Kevin. you do get what you pay for in most cases.
My mates on his battey jump pack is brilliant, I bought one (a cheap one) and it was naff regards the pump, forgot to charge it and it was then completely stuffed, so never actually got any use out of that one. :-\

Probably find it's the usual tat inside with a blingy digital display bolted on.

I have an old one that I got FOC using Esso vouchers years ago. Its been hammered, dropped and used loads of times including inflating near flat tyres. Its still going strong :y
I have used the ones built in to battery jump packs and found them to be generally krap, as was stated earlier in other posts
-
Just bought one of these.

The B*D one I have bought carries enough charge to inflate 4 tyres from scratch they reckon.

I've had one of these in my wirk truck for the last 2 years: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ring-RAC700-Compressor-4X4-Car-Tyre-Tire-Inflator-Pump-RAC640-RAC650-Replacement-/251119646021?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a77e5b545 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ring-RAC700-Compressor-4X4-Car-Tyre-Tire-Inflator-Pump-RAC640-RAC650-Replacement-/251119646021?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a77e5b545) .
It works well, is quiet, and will inflate a large, flat tyre in about 5 minues without any problems. The lead is long enough to pump any of the tyres on the car.
-
I've got a 12v cheapo one from halfrauds......just pumps tires, nothing else, with digital display...
It can pump my bus tyres upto 60psi without a fuss......altho it takes its time about it....but it works :y
-
I have one of the Vx ones and its great, plus dead cheap to get off the scrappers
-
I've used a real cheapo one which I used regularly for about 10 years, but the bore of the pump got so worn it gave up. My daughter go me a digital display one from Halfords about 5 years ago and it is fine and still going strong. :y
Next door neighbour got a cheap £5 Ebay one and it was rubbish. :-[

I bought the 3rd one on the list about 5 years ago,
here, http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_223123_langId_-1_categoryId_255241
Must have swapped it three times during the 12 months at the Store only to be told we will give you a free upgrade to one of these.
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_215808_langId_-1_categoryId_255241
Still working fine today and it works well. I would recommended but not the cheaper one.

think ive got the same one
is it black with a red lense to go over the light?
-
I have one with the digital display
The feature I like is you can preset this one for the required pressure
It shuts off automatic
Usefull as I can preset the pressure for each axel
Bought it from Halfords (it's their own brand)
But I think it's made by Ring.
