    Ordered one - thanks OP !

    Highest it's ever been seems to be £21.99. Seems to have been hovering around the teens for a long time now. Always take their stated discount with a pinch of salt.

    €16 on eBay,plus a tenner postage.

    Don't see it on Alliexpress. They can be a good half price option for a lot of stuff.

    It's only £9.99 without the lightning deal, but ordered one anyway at £8.47, it's worth a try.

    £9.99 non-deal price on Amazon. If you have prime, you'll get free delivery.

    Actually, it's back on the deal. 89% claimed now so people must have not gone ahead with the purchase.

    Yeah, I got it at £8.47.
    A lot of garages have broken Air hose I find, so handy bit of kit pre NCT.

    You have to pay for air in most garages now so this pays for itself.

    Got one at reduced price. Pity it's 6 quid for delivery, but hey, all-in not a bad price. This is great for me as I'm nursing a very slow puncture at the minute that needs topping up once a week. It'll pay for itself quite quickly.

    Does this only work off a 12v cigarette lighter? I'd like one of these for my motorbikes tyres but is there anyway to run them from a conventional electricity supply?


  • Registered Users Posts: 440 ✭✭freebee23


    Managed to order one earlier today at the lower price. Needed another item that brought my order over £20 and got free delivery. Thanks OP

  • Registered Users Posts: 19,610 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha

    It's easy to wire a 12V supply on a bike and very handy. Either run from the battery or wire into a fuse with spare capacity if you don't want it live all the time, on my last bike the brakes had a big fuse with spare capacity.

    You can get waterproof ones that was just a quick Google.

    Some pumps in that configuration are cheaply made and will not last or be reliable over time.

    Lidl had what seemed to be a quality pump of that type recently. It weighs at least twice that of the cheep-cheep ones.

    Remember to not run the pump for more than 10 minutes at a time before stopping to let it cool.

    Not your ornery onager

    Hmmm, it says on the description....

    "NOT suitable for RV, ATV, pickup and truck tires."

    So, does that rule out the Qashqai and me Koleos then? RV?

    No. It's good enough for most vehicles, it just won't do heavy vehicles which go to way higher pressure than car or our SUV tyres. It wouldn't be much use in the USA though as their SUVs are based on trucks not cars like here.

    RV is a motor home

    You'll get less than 10 uses out of this and it'll be burned out.

    Time to stop buying crap.

    Can't complain at that price. If it gets you out of a spot even once, it's worth buying.

    Na, to much plastic sh1t being bought by numpties. Buy a good one if you want one.

    Or a biodegradable can of fix flat.

    Eh, yeah, ok.

    Not all compressors are made equal - I got one for a tenner to put in the boot, and it's good for maybe 22psi. That would get you to the nearest garage, but useless for topping up a slightly under pressure tire.

    Same - although the one Honda throw into the civics is a great piece of kit
