The Michelin electric ones from Halfords are very good, it's ciggie lighter only. Are you trying to pump the tyres on a bike?

No, for a car tyre with 30-38 PSI.

when i check my tyres 20p does me!

doing things like removing your dust caps before you start help.

Me too until it was £1, I just want something I can use without thinking "does it work or not?"

I'm looking at the michelin ones, I don't want to use the cig lighter for battery life...or am I just being petty?

Well halfords suck, £29.99 and it only comes with a cig lighter adapter. I'll browse the net I guess.

how else do you expect it to be powered?

:confused:

Free 3 mins air at Morrisons when you spend £15 on fuel. Free at Tesco and Sainsburys and at the local garage.

Just tight near you!

i've got one of the michelin ones.... £35 from Halfrauds. Works great for me!

saves having to drive to the petrol station everytime i want to do a check over the cars.

lol did you not read up, Tesco charge £1 for 5 mins (in this area).

Can't believe you get charged a quid for air.

Even the tight garages around here only charge 20p.

That would be really usefull when you're out somewhere and need an airboost.

Haha yeah I think I knew that, the purpose of it was to use at home.

I apologise for wanting such a different product -.-

Both the Michelin and the Halford rapid inflator are the ones to go for.

both give very accurate readings and are easy to use. I know cos I have the Halfords one and my mate has the Michelin. Both worth the cash for hassle free pressure alterations.

its well worth having, especially on cars that are very sensitive to pressure change because often garage inflators are not very accurate.

Some come with an internal battery, which can be charged from a mains plug. They also double up as a starter pack, if your battery goes flat. But there around the £70 mark.

I've seen them, I'll be getting the michelin one from halfords tomorrow seems like the ideal one.

Thanks peeps.

why not stop at sainsburys they have those auto ones where you set the number and it cuts off automatically.
