Compressor for pumping tyres

rebel.ranter · 2009-03-03 22:17:21

Hi can anyone make a recommendation for a compressor to occasionally pump tyres on the car? I am not looking for a 25 litre job nor am I looking for an "Am Tech" cheapo device. Anyone any good experiences?

I bought one in Aldi - it probably was a 25 litre job - but I got great use out of it when I had a slow puncture.

It cost around 100 euro, and that included spray gun and some other gadgets as well as the tyre inflator.

Those mickey mouse ones that you plug into the cigarette lighter just don't compare at all - a foot pump is faster (and they seem to have a very short life)

The mickey mouse one that Porsche have in their 944's and 993's was good enough to blow up a tractor tyre for me... Mustnt be too bad in fairness
