I tried all manner of 12v inflators but they all blew fuses! I can't remember the name of it but I did treat myself to a 230v inflator which I found ideal for the higher pressures. This is the model https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08V8PHCVZ?ref_=pe_27063361_487360311_302_E_DDE_dt_1 For standby I always carry the old fashioned foot pump.

Cheap electric tyre pumps can be a bit out of their depth when it comes to 60psi or greater jobs. Places like Screwfix, Tool Station, Machine and occasionally Lidl & Aldi sell air compressors (usually including some air tools). They typically cost sub £100 and are good for up to about 8bar. They’ll do the job quickly with ease and last several years. It’s surprising how many other jobs they come in handy for.

We have:
12v cordless inflator. Havent had it long. Recommended on another forum.
So far good for other sorts of tyres - wheelbarrow & mobility scooter. Havent needed to use it on the van tyres yet.

I have used my Halfords Rapid Digital Tyre Inflator for about 4 years with no fuses blowing at all. All I need to do is plug it into 12v cigar lighter socket set the pressure & let it get on with it !! I only need to allow it to cool down every so often, depending on how far down the pressures have dropped, but about 5 minutes break after inflating the Ducato's fronts, then reset pressures for the rears. All seems to be ok on the fuses front .
All I have done is extend the battery lead so I can reach all four tyres without problems.
