BML Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I have just dumped the latest of an inadequate 12 volt tyre compressor and would like to ask for recommendations for an effective and robust model that does what it claims to do and is provided with a cable that stretches to every wheel.

Rayjsj Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 BML - 2016-06-06 9:02 AM I have just dumped the latest of an inadequate 12 volt tyre compressor and would like to ask for recommendations for an effective and robust model that does what it claims to do and is provided with a cable that stretches to every wheel.[/quote) Just bought an one that seems upto the job, from e-bay, it has twin cylinders and clips to go directly onto the battery, cigar lighter connectors are not man enough for the power drawn. Cable is not particularly long, but a coiled yellow airline extension would reach all wheels on a 7.6 metre motorhome, and it pumps up quickly to 100 psi, it says max 150psi. Comes in a compact cloth bag that holds compressor and attachments/ airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a hand powered cycle track pump. Goes up to 160 psi.... easy to move between wheels and keeps you fit. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 This link is to the product Ray mentions http://www.rakuten.co.uk/shop/aimtoolsltd/product/451717/?l-id=gb_shopsearch_grid_product_1 I have one of these http://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/t-max-heavy-duty-12v-portable-air-compressor-car-van-truck-4x4-tyre-pump.html Like Ray’s pump, the T-Max product is intended to be connected directly to a battery as its amperage requirement is too high for an ordinary dashboard ‘cigar lighter’ socket. I understand that its coiled air-hose will stretch to 10 metres, though I’ve not measured whether this is correct. It certainly seems to be well made and it sure can put air into a tyre. The screw-on connection to the tyre-valve is a bit fiddly and air will tend to be lost on disconnection, but at least the connection is firm and positive.

BML Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 I found one at Amazon and it appears to have everything. Twin pump, connects to battery and a long cable. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
