Tyre inflator for caravan

Ive used a cheap one from Halfords for the last 6 years or so. Its a bit noisy, but works fine.

The valve blew off about 3 years ago, but I secured it back on with a jubilee clip and its fine

 I bought the Ring RAC 900 when I first got our current van because the data plate by the door showed that the tyre pressure was 65 psi and most of the rechargeable ones only went up to 50 psi. Turned out to be a waste of money because the data plate was incorrect and the correct tyre pressure should have been 43psi.

I don't like the Ring - it's a faff!  Firstly it doesn't plug into the car - it has crocodile clips - presumably because of high current draw.  I use a small 40 Ah battery which I also use for the air awning pump.  You have to cart the whole lot around the car (or caravan) despite there being 7m of air hose because the switch for the compressor is on one end, so you have to have it close to you to operate it. No good just dragging the air line around.

The whole thing gets tangled up between the electrical leads and the air line and I usually end up swearing at it! 

I am about to go back to a re-chargeable 'gun' type - from the likes of Aldi etc. - much easier and quicker but it depends on what maximum pressure you're looking for.

We have an old Halfords in my wife's car. I never use it, preferring an old school single barrel foot pump. I did try a twin barrel but you would need to be something more than human to have enough strength to use it.

I have the Aldi rechargeable gun type.  Really easy to use, no trailing wires, quick and handles the 80psi needed with ease.  The gauge is also very accurate.  

Aldi have some reasonable stuff at low cost.

Ive been using a dog grooming set for the past 3 years that cost me £19.99 vs. the Wahl that cost me £100 and packed up just after the 12 month warranty ran out

Tyre inflators can be a bit lazy when powered by a 12v battery - unless you turn the car engine on. In which case the additional voltage will put a spring in the step of most inflators. That useful when trying to achieve 65psi etc.

I bought a Halfords own brand. It was rubbish, burnt out first use. Exchanged it for Michelin Programmable Rapid,  cost £50.

It's easy to use, fast, max 80psi,  relatively quiet compared to others, nice little protrusion to stick dust cap on, let's air out easily if needed, easily tidied cable, cloth storage bag. Nothing to dislike.

I have used this one for a couple of years now with no problems, can be charged from any usb outlet and 120psi.

That looks really neat.  Similar to the Aldi unit I have but sadly mine does not charge from a USB outlet.
