Air compressor

[RAYK47]

Hi all, a little advised needed.

I am looking to buy a compressor for my car but also want to use it on my bike to check pressures and top up etc.

Can anyone recommend one that will be good for both. i assume i need it to be able to plug into 12v for car and mains for bike, but i can seem to find one of those (would using a mains adaptor be fine). prefer digital display for ease of use as well.

Preferable no more than £35-40

Thanks in advance.

I bought one of these mains pumps for the garage. The pump itself is pretty good, but the cable and air line are short, the connector and case is cheap, and the gauge is next to useless.

I end up just using my 30 year old £10 Halfords foot pump and pencil gauge. Battered, but they work.

I have a proper compressor in my garage so that gets used most of the time.

For away from the garage I have a cordless compressor/jump starter.

If I was buying a new one I'd go cordless but without the heavy battery, something like this one purely because I cannot be bothered with cables. 1st world problems and all that.

I have a proper compressor with a proper tyre inflator fitting.

I use a bicycle track pump with an integral pressure gauge to do my motorbike tyres though. By the time I've got the compressor turned on, charged up and the fitting attached, the job would have been done.

I only use the compressor for fitting tyres.

thanks for the responses guys.

I am not looking for something that i can use to change tyres (i am not able to do that) i am only looking for something that will be used to check levels and top up if needed. Also being portable.

Thanks all, i think i will get one of those.

I use one of these. Very portable, I keep it under the seat along with a tire plug kit. Removed the lighter jack and replaced with an SAE connector that matches the plug for my battery tender. I've used it several times, once to repair a flat on the road some 45 miles away from home. I bought it after experiencing mixed results with a CO2 cartridge tire inflator.

As above, electric tyre inflator under seat. They can be made quite a bit more compact by removing the case. I use a ring branded one which is excellent and also used it for fitting several tyres when I couldnt be bothered to get big compessor out.
