RingRTC1000 12V rapid tyre inflator air compressor car pump with preset digital pressure gauge, memory function, 2 min inflation, LED light, carry case, valve adaptor kit

I've had 2 punctures recently, each fortunately slow ones and near enough to get home, but I got to thinking: if/when that happens again do I want to change a wheel (I'm old-fashioned enough to carry a spare), or would I rather pump it up and get to my destination and take stock there? I decided on the latter, which is why I bought this.It's small and light enough to carry with other necessities in the boot. It's obviously not of the robust construction necessary for professional use, but I was pleased to see that the one used by the guy on the YouTube video I found (the pictorial instructions that come with it are far from clear) was battered and well-used, he said it was 10 years old and had always worked perfectly.I've used mine only the once, just so that I know how to work it. I dare say that the gauge is accurate, though I use a separate one. Plug it into the outlet in the car. The lead is plenty long enough to reach all the wheels, unless you drive a stretch limo. It's important to remember to screw the nozzle on all the way until you hear the "pfft" that tells you that the valve is open, press the button (there's only one!) and wait. I must say it was pretty loud and took a good minute or so to put in 2 or 3 p.s.i. so I suppose it would take 10 minutes or more to inflate from flat but that's perfectly acceptable on what I hope will be the rare occasions when I use it.Useful, easy to use and good value.

Excellent product at very competitive price. I bought this as a like for like replacement for one I previously owned which only stopped working after 4 years of very heavy use. My experience is that this product is it is easy to use and extremely reliable and durable.

Good little inflator. Although some say it's bulky, it is in fact more compact than the one I'm replacing.It's solidly built and inflates the tyres pretty rapidly. The hose-to-valve screw on connector is in my opinion, easier to use and more secure than the snap-on lever type I had before.Three variable readouts on the bright clear screen (PSI, BAR and kPi).It's also quieter than my old one, 90db v 97db, and has neater storage for hose and cable which winds nicely back into the body, so avoiding squeezing spaghetti into a recess and having to untangle cable before useI do have a gripe though. The blurb states that 'The long 3.5M cable and 70cm air Hose make it easy to reach the tyres all around the vehicle.' This isn't the case for my car and I suspect other more recent cars which have the 12 volt socket in the boot.The only way to reach the front tyres is to feed the cable through the ski hatch and through the interior of the car. There is then very little slack in the cable which makes it awkward if there are people or equipment in the car. Another metre on the cable would ease this scenario.It may be harsh but I've just been using it in a rain/hail squall and having to open three doors and the boot while faffing about, ended up with the passengers getting pretty wet and grumpy. Nevertheless 4 stars for being a brilliant wee machine but one off for the short cable.

Have used this for my car and works very well. Pumped up tyre effectively and efficiently.Length of cable is more than enough to reach around normal sized car.Pressure to the tyre is very good and sturdiness of the actual cable and inflator is also good.Have not used enough to know battery life but it uses the 12v socket from the car and doesn’t take too much power as it pumps up tyres 🛞 quickly with excellent performance.Features like torch are nice and bright at night. Tuck away main cables and twist to store cable can be little tricky but good enough. Small area to put dust caps is useful.

This was a replacement for an earlier model which packed up after quite a few years service. This one is a much better design though, and inflates more rapidly. The digital display is large and clear and as it's in Psi only, it's a doddle to set. The integral cable on the rear pulls out, sort of like a turntable which you wind back in when finished with the raised knob The air connector hose folds away in a recess on the side and there's an adapter for blowing up other things to car tyres. The whole thing fits neatly into a soft carry case. The unit is operated from the car 12 Volt socket (remember the days when it used to be called a cigarette lighter with a cigarette symbol on it?). For connecting to car tyres the metal valve is good quality, and when screwed in place will give you the current air pressure in the tyre. Simply turn the knob to set the target pressure, and then press the bar type button at the bottom of the unit, which will begin to inflate, and stop when the target pressure is reached. If you are letting air out, there is a bleed button on the valve connector to do this 15 minutes is quoted as the max continuous running time for the unit. The integral light is quite adequate to see what you are doing in the dark. For auto use, these are an indispensable aid that I think everyone who doesn't have one should have, and very handy to keep in the car. To think years ago I used foot pump!

Brilliant!! A compact little machine. Easy to use. Plugs straight into cigarette holder, then the long lead reaches all tyres. Quick screw on to the valve. It will read the air pressure first which you can see very clearly. Tyre inflates really quickly. So easy!!

Appears to be well made and works well when adding air to an under pressure tyre. Easy to set the required pressure and then pump stops automatically when it reaches the set pressure. The screw valve connector is easy to attach and use.

This is an excellent value pump that is simple and reliable. It has an analogue dial and a long power cable to plug into your cigarette lighter point.The overall build quality is solid, and at such a good price I ended up buying two.
