Ring Automotive - RTC6000 Cordless 4-in-1 Tyre Inflator with Air Pump, Quick Set Auto Stop, Large Digital Screen, Power Bank, LED Light, Valve Caps, Latex Gloves and Storage Case, Grey

Product Information

A quality car tyre inflator can be very precise with the tyre pressure measurement - it's import to get the tyre pressure just right to optimise your vehicle's performance. With the joint shortest hose, at 15cm, it is not the easiest to use, but the times for both tyres are up with the best without being too noisy. Plus, it can be used to deflate tyres if needed and to ensure the pressure on your car tyres is exactly right.

But while its portable nature and trigger style are perfect for squeezing in the odd PSI or two, this model's rather slow inflation speed and short (15cm) air hose make longer pumping jobs tedious. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . It comes with a Presta attachment which we had a little more trouble with - it inflates but requires a bit of fiddling and the pressures shown were questionable.The kit is quite expensive, although a very fast charger accompanies the 3Ah battery, which still showed its full array of four LEDs when we finished.

device sits squarely on four rubber feet and we like the long, 65cm hose with its 10cm plastic protected section. While that might sound good, there are very few modern cars that use R13s — even the tiny Smart ForTwo uses 15-inch tyres. You may have your doubts that anything this small has the power to inflate car tyres from flat and you'd be right.

Neat touches include the niche to keep a valve cap, a cable to charge the unit from the car’s 12V socket, and the ability to power up a phone from its USB socket. The gauge, annoyingly, shows target pressure rather than actual pressure, leaving a coloured bar display to chart inflation progress.

Ring’s selection of tyre care products will help reduce wear and tear, as well as maintaining safe conditions for driving. The Makita and Sealey impress, but the potential extra cost of a charger and battery must be considered.

This nifty device can also double up as a power bank, with a USB port for recharging your devices and making sure youre not stranded. Its final party trick is its USB socket, which, among other things, is perfect for charging mobile phones on the go. To be honest, we stuck with having our bottle there and carried the inflator in our backpack instead. A handy tool to keep in the boot, this inflator comes equipped with a range of adaptors for sports balls and other inflatables.

The unit is small enough to keep in your boot and comes with its own case to keep the dirt out of your car. This takes an absolute age to charge from new (5 hours to get tom the full 3 bars), but once going, I was able to sort out the tyres on all of our cars, with that one charge, without using the car battery via the 12V socket. There are also four memory settings which is handy if your car has different pressure back and front, or simply if you're using it for different cars and bicycles. p>

The inflator lacks a light and deflator button plus, irritatingly, a target facility, but it performed speedily on both tyres (joint best on the space-saver). In reality, we found that the Halfords Rapid Digital Tyre Inflator could take a 17-inch wheel from 22psi to 32psi — a range that you’re unlikely to need day-to-day if you’re diligent about keeping your tyres in good condition — in 1 minute and 36 seconds.a>
