    Those cheap booster battery packs with the inbuilt compressor are useless. Like 10 minutes plus to inflate one tyre.

    Anyone know of a decent unit (not a 2HP compressor on wheels!) to properly inflate car tyres at home?

    When I lived in 'Murica you could buy a compressed air tank about 25L that you could fill from wherever, but these don't seem to be on sale here.

    This might be worth a try.

    Some are better than others, you'd have to consider how many times you'd actually need to pump a tyre from flat, and whether it's worth spending money on doing.

    After going through a few of the flimsy cigarette lighter things over the years, I got one of these from lidl (or was it aldi) Anyhow it's mains powered and fast.
