Car Tyre Inflator Cordless?

Baldytyke88

I drive a VW Crafter van, so I am considering a cordless tyre inflator, as the wired ones don't reach the back wheels.

Some look cheap and nasty, but are the batteries large enough for a commercial tyre, this is just for checking the pressures, not changing tyres.

How about the one above?

I would look at inflators that use power tool batteries, Ryobi for example, have a couple that use 18V batteries. The more expensive one mentions topping up 47 car tyres from 25 to 31 psi on a single charge with a 5 Ah battery.

My son has a cheap no-brand cordless inflator (looks like a cordless drill but with a pump head where the chuck should be) and it's been used to inflate a 20" truck tyre. I suspect it would work for a Crafter.

It's better in most respects than my (admittedly ancient) 12v corded compressor.

Thing is with Ebay and unknown brands your likely just be buying a AliExpress drop shipped item or even a fake item the site is saturated with these sort of listings.

So if you want cheap or fake just buy it direct from those chinese sellers like AliExpress for alot less than on ebay or a better option is …..

I would look at well known brand name items perhaps the Gooloo A3 combined jump starter/tire inflator at £55 or less when on sale or they have a tire inflator only .

All depends how much you want to spend….I would choose a well known name that can be got on sale

This one came highly recommended by Raj at MR Sportscars if you want a jumpstart feature as well: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TREKURE-Starter-Compressor-26800mAh-Compatible/dp/B0DGT2Y38H

Raj is a good guy, he bought my Boxster from me.

For the OP, how about a 12v extension lead? We have a pump for the dinghy and kayak on our boat and need to use the extension to reach the 12v socket inside the cabin.

£10 on Amazon.

I have an Air Hawk; it does 4 wheels on a car fine and you can supplement with a cigarette lighter cord if it runs out.

I've used it on a van too.

The advertising videos are totally not sped up about 200x 😃

All the linked examples are over priced unknown chinese brands some will be copys of known brands and/or dropped shipped….. just look at all the other junk the sellers are shifting .

As said if you are sold on a cheap non branded one they are around £10-30 on AliExpress ..how long they work for is another matter.
