    In Argos:

    Battery Charger, reduced to €12.99

    12 Volt Compressor/Inflator with Gauge reduced to €8.99

    A compressor like this is very handy to carry in the car - most times you only have a slow puncture, and if so, this will re-inflate the tyre in 5 minutes. I can't remember the last time I had to actually change a wheel because of a puncture, tbh.

    I bought the compressor on Saturday in Argos, having seen one used that morning. Really handy. Great price reduction, but I doubt I would have paid the full price.

    Nice prices, note that the car charger says it's only suitable up to 1.8 litre engines.

    And I suspect it's wired, ie. you have to plug it into your mains first.
    Just in case anyone thinks it's a portable one you can charge and keep in the boot of your car.

    Yes, it is a mains charger. I would take the 1.8 litre limitation with a pinch of salt, tbh. A battery is a battery at the end of the day. For a higher capacity battery (i.e. a 'heavy-duty' one), it will just take longer to charge.
