From everyone’s favourite tyre maker/world renowned reviewer of restaurants is this, the Michelin Programmable Superfast 4x4/SUV Tyre Inflator, and you can tell from the get-go that it means business — it looks less than a tyre inflator than it does something from Star Trek. Or a really fancy spirit level. As mentioned before, driving on under-inflated tyres mean that there is more friction between the tyre and the road.

You can preset tire pressure to what the tires need. Digital LCD gauge reads pressure and automatically turns off when it reaches desired pressure. Automatic power off: Oasser inflator has automatic power off setting, it will automatically shut down in 90 seconds without any operation.Or you can just press and hold the middle UNIT button for few seconds to turn it off Cordless & Portable】P2A air compressor is built with 12V 2200mAh lithium battery. With USB charging cable, it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the battery. The max pressure for the inflator is 120PSI, which is suitable for most cars, bicycles and motorcycles whose tires need high pressureFor those who like the idea of the P2 above thanks to its cordless nature removing the need to be plugged in during use, also take a look at this compact tube style P1S.

That versatility means you’re not limited to inflating vehicle tyres, as it’s also supplied with other adaptors too, including the ability to pump up footballs, bike tyres and pool inflatables and toys. Finally, Oasser offer a two year warranty to demonstrate their faith in their products, making this P6 pump worth considering if you are on a budget and cant stretch to the price of the Ring Automotive air compressors. Digital Double Pressure Display & Super Bright LED Lights】LCD can show the current pressure of your tires and preset desired pressure simultaneously. Battery bars and pressure units are also displayed. 6 bright LED lights controlled by an independent switch make it easy for you to have your tires filled up in dark places or at night.Again, it’s not the most attractive machine in the world, but again, this is tyre inflation, not Paris Fashion Week. The analogue scale goes from 0psi-100psi, with around a centimetre between each increment of 10psi. That means that the difference between, say, 30psi and 32psi is just a couple of millimetres, making it a tad difficult to know exactly how much pressure you’re putting into your tyres — an issue exacerbated by the fact that the machine moves around a lot as it inflates. When requires high PSI, just pump it few times and cool the air compressor down for 10 mins after continuous use for 5-10 mins. We advise to connect the car charger while pumping Oasser a highly popular brand of power tools that is known for making kinds of products. And as you would expect, it even makes portable air compressors for vehicles. The inflator sits on four rubber feet to prevent it scuttling around your driveway, while the air hose wraps snugly beneath the device. The same can’t be said for the 12V connector, though, which must be wrapped around your hand and cable tied before it can be reinserted into the inflator. Firstly, rather than the more common attachment that screws on to tyre valves, this is more like the petrol station forecourt style that ‘clamps’ in place as you close the lever. It’s a much less fiddly solution, especially on cold nights with cold, numb fingers and poor light. It’s also a nice touch that it works like a torch as it’s shaped that way too. Not a big deal, but it’s a nice extra thought on Oasser’s part.

This means that the engine has to work harder, leading to more fuel being consumed — it’s estimated that if your tyres are under-inflated by 10%, fuel consumption will go up by 2%. Is it worth getting a tyre inflator? It doesn’t look quite as snazzy as some of the others, thanks to the fact that it’s adorned in a cheap-looking silver plastic, but after all, you’re squatting on the ground with grease on your hands — elegance is already out of the window. Like the Ring RTC1000, its designers have also thought of where to store your valve caps when you’re inflating, and have included a little stand. Efficient & Long Duration】It takes 6 minutes at most to fill up an empty tire with the size of 185/70 R14. Tire inflator with full battery can top up 4 empty tires (185/70 R14).Rechargeable tyre inflators can be extremely useful when on the move, as they're completely portable and can be used anywhere. Finally, you’ll also get a material bag to store the unit and accessories in, which include a ball inflation needle and inflatables adaptor as well as the charging cables and air hose. While there are plenty out there, one of the best is Halfords' rechargeable inflator, which features a max pressure of 120psi as well as an auto cut-off function.
