i bought the £45 model today based upon your review and it's brilliant, it tells you the current pressure in your tyres and if you have a slow leak, (like i have), you can see the reading go down as the air escapes the puncture- I was shocked to see that my rear tyre should have been 26, but read 09, (oops). it is really fast at inflation too. Thank you for taking the time to review it.

Hi Peter thank you for taking the time to comment 😀 it's a handy tool to have if your car doesn't come with a inflator. Mines is still going strong 16 months later and I've been using it weekly on a 4 car strong family 🤗 Wishing you all the best with your purchase my friend 😎

That’s brilliant. Pretty intuitive really but your intuition goes haywire when you’re out in the rain on a dark night in the middle of nowhere so thanks for that!

I had a much older Halfords tyre inflator which was BRILLIANT. I didn't realise how lucky I was. It was cordless, it just plugged into the house socket to recharge it and it was always ready to inflate the tyres of two cars in no time. It did not need a usb connection, as some do now. It lasted for years and years but then unfortunately broke down and they have stopped making it. I wish I could get someone to repair it. I can not get the equivalent, except one of another make which is useless. I got another Halfords one but it is not cordless. It can plug into the car, but also directly to the house socket, which the one in the video does not seem to

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately the one in the video you have to plug into the car or power pack to get working. Halfords do sell an advanced Air inflator it cost £60 I know that one you can plug into the mains

Thanks that was a great help. I've never used one before. You were so much clearer in your instructions than on the leaflet..

Nice winder function, guess they wear out eventually; recycle the old one through the vendor too!

Hi thanks for your comment 😊 yes the old unit still works you just can't set the pressure level. Been using this for over a year now just need to finish my video on the year and other uses I've found for the tyre inflator lol 😇

How does it do pumping tires up from low pressure?
@magicspanners402 Жыл бұрын
Hi Alex thanks for your comment 😊 From low pressure on one of my shogun wheels it'll take about 3mins to get the tyre back to full psi. And that's From fully flat. On a smaller wheels it's a lot quicker like a bmw 318 you can easily take a minute off that time.hope that helps mate 👍 😉

If it helps Alex, I've just inflated a flat tyre from 2psi to 34 psi no issues! I don't have this version of the gear but the one below for £35! Worked a belter!
