    Unfortunately no help to the OP, but Parkside (Lidl's DIY tool brand) sell a cordless compressor in Europe that takes their 20V batteries.

    I'm eagerly awaiting it showing up here as I have the 20V batteries & tools already (who could possibly resist a 20V mini chainsaw?) the car vacuum is actually quite good for the money…

    They are available for stupid money from Ebay & Amazon, and are very poor value (It is a £29.99 tool for sure). They are £35 in Europe (curse you, Brexit!!)

    The Ryobi equivalent is on offer at £85 including a battery & charger, if you have 18V Ryobi tools already they do a power drill type one without a battery for £42.

    So much less trouble to just top the tyres up with a cordless pump than get the corded one out, start the engine to run it and put it way again after.

    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    £42-47 quid is not bad for this 3000A Gooloo jump starter/tire inflator its a well known brand for jump starters that cost less than Noco ….with the important booster feature for a dead flat batterys.

    I think joybuy is ok too .

    I love's me a GooLoo.

    But like single use items.

    I use this for tyres, purchased on the 11/04/2013 £8.62. Just checked on Amazon.

    Ring RAC605.

    A GooLoo GT4000 for jumping. 08/03/2023.

    Still going strong.

    Just got one of these. Nice small size, done 8 tyres for around 25psi, still 2 bars out of 3 on the battery

    That's what I do to inflate tyres on a trailer. I think it was £4 in Aldi, though.

    Aw no. I've always managed with a foot pump but I want one of these now!

    I have used my heavy-duty cycle pump in the past, but it has such a poor analogue display. I prefer to have presets on a digital display. I haven't made up my mind yet.

    Lidl cordless tyre inflator

    Lidl currently have a cordless tyre inflator reduced from £14.99 to £12.70, plenty of stock in my local store

    5 year warranty

    Just tried it out and it does the job

    I think the weak point is the hose
