Cordless Digital Compressor
« on: April 12, 2018, 11:19:25 am »
I have just bought one of these


It seems to be of good quality and has a sturdy feel. It's on charge at the moment, I'll test it out when it's charged and report back.
I got it from Ebay here

Nice and compact, Rae. Battery looks a little small at 500mA, but then again, you only need these things to inflate once, generally.

I do have the capability to charge it on the bike, but to be honest the manual pump I have at the moment has never been used in anger.
The Puncturesafe does a brilliant job of keeping the tyres inflated. It's there just in case  ;D

OK folks I have just given it a trial run. I totally deflated my rear tyre set the unit to 42psi and set it running, it took 9 minutes 10 seconds to fully inflate the tyre. It shut off when it reached the preset pressure. I checked the pressure with a calibrated PCL digital inflater and it was bang on 42psi the PCL measures tenths so I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy. Although the air going in was warming up as we went on, so that would affect pressure and I will check it again later but it would certainly get you out of a fix. It didn't get overly hot in operation, the air tube was warm to the touch but not burning hot as some can be.
So it gets a big thumbs up from me.

Thanks for the review Rae. It looks like a good/useful piece of kit. For those of us who can't access eBay from the office, what's the price?

I have just performed a further test after the first rear tyre inflation and deflated it again and this time the battery gave out at 10psi
But I am happy at that, if it can inflate one tyre from flat that'll do for me. It was £33.99 David that was one of the cheapest on Ebay there are more expensive ones, I don't know if the more expensive ones have a more powerful battery.

Thank you Rae. At £33 it really does appeal. One full tyres worth of air would suit me.

We carry this one while on tour. It's not cordless and it's not digital but it has plenty puff when and if needed.

I've had the small compressors and they were too much of a faff for me. I had the Slime pump and trying to get it back in the case was like a round of the Krypton Factor. Also Like I said I have yet to use one in anger the tyre sealant does its job. So I only have it because it's a good toy and it makes me feel better having it.

knowing my luck i had better buy 2 of these. However must admit the powered compressor i have is brilliant. Any very compact in design. Never leave home without now.
I am interested in the Slime idea though. Whats best to try when change tyres???
