It comes with a case. This is the digital version where it stops at the pressure you set it too, not to be confused with the one with the gauge.
they are sold under different brands and colours such as Ring or Rac and had one for couple of years. The best and easiest pump I've used, and has built in light.

Decent. Looks exactly like the Ring one that's £20 on Amazon

I've got the Ring version. 25 quid. It's worth it for the yellow buttons! Seriously, these are way better than the clockwork ones, where you have to guess if you've reached the right pressure. I used to pump the tyres up with those , with a dodgy lever attachment, then have to check them with a digital gauge, only to find they were still way low. These give you a bit more than you need which you lose when you unscrew the attachment. And they stop automatically when they reach the pressure you need.

You have to guess with an analogue scale?! Can you read an analogue scale? On mine I would need to 'guess' where a fifth of an division was at most. Even if you were to be a slightly above or below the ideal pressure, this uncertainty compared to the change in pressure over the time between most people checking their pressures, the changes in load (people, shopping and fuel) of the vehicle over that time, the mass of air which will escape, the changes in temperature day to day or the changes in tyre temperature over a journey are far greater, and far greater than the uncertainty in the s4!++y sensors they put into digital pumps. Digital pumps are easy, but dumb.

The digital ring version of this has a high failure rate (check Amazon) - the LCD / torch aspect often fails. I had to send mine back and I'm not the only one.
Loads of people on here recommend the gauge one and is the one I ended up with. It's also more accurate than the digital version, which was was a massive 5psi out on mine. The sensors in the 'digital' version are cheap and not accurate. At least with a gauge it's going to be reasonably close based on it's construction alone.

Read it as malfunctioned air compressor and thought op had gone mental.

Ordered. I've had a Halfords one for years, it just packed up so this is very timely. The Halfords one was also digital and I always found it pretty accurate when checking against (probably inaccurate) garage air-lines. If this one lasts as long as the Halfords one did - 12+ years of probably at least monthly use, I seem to be plagued by cars with porous alloys I'll be a happy bunny :smiley:

at least it pumps air.
last time I bought mitchelin pressure gauge £5 posted here and thought it can put air press in the tyres but infact it only checks psi level

Anyone know if this would be robust enough for higher PSI jobs (around 130)?
wee_snoop to dannynobbs
5 Mar 161#20
probably not. I've had mine for about 5 years ( the yellow button LED torch Ring version) and recently tried to pump up/check all 4 car tyres in a row. On the 4th tyre it cut out and blew a fuse in the car. My dad has the same one and a few days later also done all 4 of his tyres and on the 4th his also cut out. turned out the fuse that was blown in his case was in the cigarette lighter plug on the pump itself.
in general it's a decent pump and handy to have in the car but for extended use (4tyres in a row) or a large item then I'd give it a miss.

ring and rac ones goes up to 80 max so guess not. i was thinking the same as my bike tyre goes upo to 140psi

Thankyou and ordered,have used this and works really well.

Got one last time this was posted, works very well but I bought it primarily to inflate a load of footballs every few weeks, digital cut off sensor is accurate and great for this purpose
The difference is that bicycle tyres have much less volume, and you generally only have half as many, so it might be able to cope without melting down.
However, I read below that this can only be set to 80PSI so no dice. :disappointed:

You've used every type of digital pump then ?
My halfords digital one is spot on when checked with a decent gauge.

SO THIS ACTUALLY PUTS AIR IN YOUR TYRES? NOT JUST CHECKS THE TYRE PRESSURE?

Yes

Yeah sure why not?! In fact I personally test every single gauge which is manufactured in the world. There you go! Dumb, rhetorical question. Explains why you have a dumb digital gauge. Although you didn’t trust it enough NOT to check it against “a decent gauge” did you?!
Digital gauges are cheap. Therefore they will have a high failure rate...
...and their accuracy wil be highly variable and suspect. There will be a normal distribution for all gauges, [I'm not saying my analogue one is perfect, but it corresponds well whenever I have used service station gauges - which have to be regularly calibrated IF there is a charge for their use] and its 'good enough' i.e. not 5psi or more out. The spread of distribution is far higher when using cheap, inaccurate digital gauges. You got lucky by all accounts and got one which is exactly correct at the pressures you need for your tyres. Well done. When I tested it, I found it inaccurate for all other pressures.

It's also very noisy, which is why I guess the poster felt the need to shout...

A friend of mine has one and it does the job , but the cigar lead is not long enough to reach all the tyres, you need a cigar/cigarette lighter lead extension .
It is noisy but you use it outside , don't you ?

Yes outside. When you pump the air. Which is not for long.

Rubbish....... Bought at Christmas for this price. Lasted 3 tyres and gave up on the 4th. Even the return was messed up.
