Recommend a 12v pump

[RWD3M]

Ah,yes lack of info,it wasn’t a trick.
For tyre,tube inflation.

Do you mean like one of those horrible things they give you in modern cars along with an aerosol instead of a spare wheel?

 

[Farside]

These are manually operated.

That's like one of those ads in the back of the Sunday Mail.

You are an honourable member, and have acknowledged.
I've seen much worse Nick. There was a thread started on here one day....ONE word only and the title was: Spades.
Nothing to do with digging gardens, or playing cards. Turned out the member wanted to discuss electrical spade connectors

As for me I sometimes post in the wrong section -senior moments & depression is my excuse. I still get a B********g !

No ,a better version of the pumps Aldi sell,plug into a cigarette lighter socket.

I have had alot of these over the years and got "tyred" of them.

This one is great. Cordless and keeps its charge for weeks. I have had it for about 2 years now and all good.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

This one is the gold standard IMO. Forget those carp corded ones and car socket issues etc.

I ended up buying the Tmax. Its the run time that lets the cheapies down, some of them have a minute or two before you have to let them cool down or they will melt. Tmax has a fortyfive minute run time which is enough for big tractor tyres.

Cheapest place seems to be B&Q atm Pump

I'd be going for the Milwaukee M18 Compressor and a pneumatic tyre inflator for tractor tyres.

 

[seriesonewelder]

Been hankering for a 12v tyre inflator for a while so bought the Tmax.

I bought the Ryobi 18v pump and it blew 3 tyres up before biting the dust, absolute garbage.

I use a Milwaukee M12 inflator now and it's excellent. Really pleased with it.

You must have drawn the short straw or something on that one. I have the cheapest handheld ryobi tyre inflator and I use it all the time to pump up the air ram on the jack on the rolling bridge on my 4post lift save trailing the airline round and running the compressor. When I got a vevor airbag style jack, I swapped the pcl fitting for a schrader fitting and use it the same on that. Ive also used it for tyres from time to time.

I dont use it for tractor tyres though, see bob's comment about overheating during long run times, but even the van & 4x4 tyre inflators are bigger and better cooled for this reason. I just start the compressor up for them, or if its not at base, I inflate a airtank and take that.

it's a cheepie....

Heavy Duty 12V Electric Car Tyre Inflator 150PSI Portable Air Compressor Pump | eBay UK

Suitable for any type of tyre or ball,such as tyre of vehicl,autoengines and bicycle,balls,toysand boats, Athletic Balls etc. - The appropriate tyre pressure not only save gas but also ensure the safety of driving.

www.ebay.co.uk

but it's been good, taken van tyres from 0 to 90psi without destroying itself

I like the chepies because I'm not worried about giving them to drivers to use.... good ones get broken or go missing :-(

I looked at the tool manufacturers, tmax etc... and they are all using DC brushed motors which is a bit poo really. I want a brushless cordless ideally to fit 36v batteries, I dont mind using an adaptor, but prefer Makita XGT systemm

Makita do a brushless 40v compressor but its £330, a mains one is £80! Decent 1.4kW brushless motor, in theory it'll get 8 minutes use out of a 5Ah battery. 34L/min. It would do but far too big to keep in the car.

I'm looking more at the smaller type, £100

Doesnt say brushless, looks like its a huge brushed motor but Im unsure. 24L/min.
Seems all Makita ones you have to keep your hand on the trigger which would be a pain. A velcro tie may be abused if I get one!

I might get it, the reviews seem decent and it claims to do a real 160psi, so the compressor side of it should be decent.

 

[colnerov]

That TMax draws 45A that's a lot for a cig lighter plug/socket or those croc clips shown, I think an Anderson plug/socket would be better.

 

[seriesonewelder]

It's 30amps, is that ok for the Croc clips?

 

[Kram]

Crocs will do 30A but it'd be a pain lifting the bonnet and sorting 4 meters of cable every time you want to do a few tyres.

I think I'll be getting the Makita MP001.
