Tyre pump

[MARTIN FROM LLAN]

Looking for an electric tyre pump, for the usual slow punctures. Had one from Halfords lasted just over a year, can anyone recommend a decent one, dont really want to go down the route of a separate compressor, want it to be portable. cheers

I've had one of these now for about 10 years. Bought it originally for my boat but have used it on my vehicle since selling the boat. Its handy in winter for the quick jump start that's needed every now and then!

Show around and you may find them a bit cheaper as they are the slightly older model now

I have the earlier version of that shown in Drift's link, one of these:



Have found it to be very reliable over about 5 years and is still going strong.

A little tip.
Pay a visit to a local breakers yard, as the majority of new cars now don't have a spare wheel, they have lots of the compact compressors to dispose of ... cheap ... because they have no scrap value

Thanks for advice got a T MAX from Foundry 4x4, absolutely fab, thats for the Fronty. As for my Signum have been looking for an inbuilt compressor out of a Corsa to install, swmbo has one in her Corsa used its ok for smaller normal tyres.
