20p to pump up your tyres,you're lucky,50p around here!

Unless like me, you want to keep your car tyres, your wife's car tyres, 2 mountain bikes, one motor bike and a yoga ball correctly inflated. So no, tyre weld and some 20p's are a fat load of use to me.

There's no quick fix, you need to have the tyres and wheels looked at. It's not necessarily a puncture that's causing it. It could be alloy wheel corrosion or a damaged wheel.

Good, that wasn't overly clear from your initial post when I read it, I had one burst its diaphragm on me (non replaceable) but a ring service guy did say send it back for consideration... they do have some form of live service compared to those who merely import & flog goods, so worth utilising the services & making a valid point on skimping on quality & screwing a previously respected brand.

Ring dropped a load of their previous products & support, ..left us in the mire.

Folk need to exploit rules on goods fit for purpose in the first instance.

I sent it back for a refund as it broke withing 10 days of ordering. The case was cheap plastic and the nozzle struggled to grip standard valves with a good air tight fitting.

Like i said im not voting hot or cold, but more a head up for those on the fence about the current quality of Ring equiptment

Had one of these a year or two . My Mini runflats leaked at the rims so it had a lot of stick. still going strong. Faster larger volume than the £5 things on ebay that burn out half way through pumping a tyre up. Recommend.

I have one of these and it has been brill, mind you its only been used on 10/12" wheels and pushbikes. Compact and neat storage for both hose and cable.

My only gripe is that because of my front brake disc there is only about 2" to get the valve on and screwed in, is there any type of adaptor to convert it to clip on type?

Just picked one up today and used it on one of my tyres that needed air. Worked perfectly fine.:stuck_out_tongue:

£10.90 DELIVERED! on t'ebay: £10.90 in del.

Waste of money. I've jad two and both have stopped working.

Viair has been fantastic and always works.

Got one of these, loud as **** but gets the job done.

this is a great deal. got this once on an amazon lightening deal for slightly more

Had this model for a few years. Been totally reliable (and used quite a lot as had a slow leak in one tyre for a while). Good screw on action. Guage is accurate per my digital one which I use to double check.

got one already. well recommended product. its good that most pump cost only 20p/50p, however when you are stranded due to flat tyre or low pressure tyre, this comes handy to top up and then take to local garage to get chcked up.

I had the digital version and it went wrong after a few uses, however got it replaced and have used the new one absolutely loads without any issues. I had the alloy corrosion issue many people have mentioned and was topping a couple of my tyres up regularly for a long time, so it got loads of use.

Word of warning and don't do what I did. Order one then realise you have one.......I have one as part of my tyre repair kit in my boot in place of a spare wheel. It's in the pack with the tyre gunk etc etc. Didn't even click with me until I looked in my manual to check what the psi should be. I'd check your individual car but think most might have one...it's a pretty generic one but has an analogue display and plugs into cig socket. Just cancelled my order, seems like a good price though! !

Had mine 6 years no problems at all

I got this and it broke after a few uses. I understand this may have been a one off, but when I was on the tools I used ring gear all the time and saw how it's quality diminished over a short space of time. I'll not vote either way, but don't expect the world from this

Im well impressed with mine!! Analog is fine, you dont need a digital screen for everything...

These are OK but not amazing. These always seem to get rated quite highly but I'm not quite sure why.

I'm on my second digital one, the first one got exchanged under warranty, the second one is just hanging on but is out of warranty.

Be warned that they're not great with high pressures. My bike requires around 100psi per tyre. It can do this from say 30psi with no problems at all, but if the tyre is already at say 90psi and I want to just top it up to 100psi then it often just stalls and can't get going. I have to deflate the tyre in order to be able to get the pump started. I have ended up swapping to a non electric track pump for the bike tyres.

The screw on end is quite useful but the plastic air release valve just before it snapped on mine, looks to be a weak point.

I'm sure there would be a better quality pump out there than this - I just don't know what it is!

Can anyone who owns this product please confirm that the connector *screws* onto the valve?
TIA

I had this many years ago the alloy rejected the rubber so filled it with tyre weld. Although it solved the problem the tyre company were not impressed having to clean up the aftermath!

For whatever reason my next set of tyres were fine?

Better spend this amount of money on few quick tyre repair bottles and 20p to pump your tyres. No more rushing around with flat tyre.

Been using this same compressor for years. They usually pack up after about 3 years, so I buy another and use the new receipt to get my money back. Free for me :-)

Used the digital version of this for 5+ years, still going strong.

Does anyone happen to know if there's a good mains powered tyre inflator anywhere?

well worth having one of these. i have similar alloy problems to those mentioned above...but i also helped someone replace a tyre recently and given the position their car stopped they couldnt jack the car high enough to get the spare back on. we deflated the spare tyre for extra clearance, slipped it on and then reinflated it with this in a few mins.

you have to sit and watch the needle on this one and its rougly accurate to read the dial to about 2 units. press the big button to start the air and then again to stop. nice and easy. complete inflation of a tyre takes 3 or 4 mins. once a fortnight i usually top up the tyres on 2 cars in 10 to 15 mins.Just remember to turn your engine and let it idle while using so you dont run your battery flat.

Some Amazon reviews say the digital version is innacurate or the auto set and cut off system over/under inflates. Any truth in that? Thinking of getting analog version then checking pressure with a mini digital gauge.

Got a similar digital version of this. Really like the screw on connection to the tyres. Way better than the old clip on ones which you struggle to take off often.

Completely free air and water

I had alloy wheel corrosion on an old cavalier years ago. Started putting tubes in the tyres but in the end I had to get 4 steel wheels, cant remember why

Has a dial instead of digital read out.

I got late to my work because of a flat tyre. only if i had this.

20p to pump up your tyres,you're lucky,50p around here!

Got one of these but the digital readout version, nice piece of kit in a little storage zip bag. Son has a problem where 2 of his tyres have slow punctures losing around 4psi per week. Plenty of tread on the tyres, is there anything like tyre weld which is permanent for slow punctures? Don't want to get charged £15 or so per tyre for a repair if there is a cheap fix.

I've got one of these and they are pretty decent and the pressure gauge is surprisingly accurate.

Kramvic, possibly old alloys in which case a decent garage will sort em out one at a time so you can use a full size spare, send em off to be skimmed, that sorts a pretty high % of alloys before having to resort to more expensive measures.

Not saying it is, but it is an avenue to look at.

Great deal for the inflator, these ought to be mandatory in all cars as part of maintainence kit, (even a numpty can use em).

It's a good price, the digital one is loads better though.

Hope that is better than the digital one that I got from Eurocarparts (supposedly re-branded Ring). Lasted 3 tyres.....

Was £13.99, so better with a few quid off. Thanks for posting OP!
