Tire Inflator

Tire Inflator in plain terms

This section holds a single product, and rather than pad it out with a range that does not exist, here is what a cordless inflator is actually for. Correct tyre pressure is worth a few per cent of fuel economy and a good deal of tyre life, and it drifts by roughly one PSI a month on its own, faster in cold weather. The reason most cars run under-inflated is not ignorance, it is that the garage air line involves a detour, a queue and a gauge of unknown honesty.

A preset inflator removes all three. You set the figure the door pillar asks for, connect it, and it stops on its own. There is no gauge-and-guess loop, no walking back and forth, and no need to trust someone else's dial. Around fifty-five seconds per car tyre from 30 to 35 PSI means a full set is a five-minute job on a driveway, and up to sixteen tyres per charge means it will not run flat halfway round.

The other three presets are the reason it earns its shelf space between services: a bicycle tyre wants far higher pressure than a car tyre and a football wants far lower, and both are jobs a floor pump does badly. The 12 V lead is the roadside answer, because an inflator that only works when it is charged is not much use on the one occasion it is genuinely needed.
