Mains operated tyre pump

[glojo]

I can concur the Waeco Mobitronic 240V to 12V rectifier seems to do what it says on the box.

Thank goodness for that.

This gizzmo was our third atempt at finding something suitable and I must confess to getting concerned that you hadn't replied.

I set out that evening to test it but actually found none of my tyres needed any air - I drew the line at letting them down to inflate again!

Well i found myself needing a similar item, although not 240V, the specs seem good so have ordered it...

I find myself going down this road as I'm changing air pressures in tyres depending on which garage I'm at! So I think its time I had my own compressor.

Has anyone any further advice or updates on their individual purchases? If anyone knows of any special offers / deals thats available/ they've used, I'd like to hear about them also.

Thanks in advance as usual.

Cheers

Typical of my incompetence I was hoping it would be a genuine 240v gadget, but that definitely looks the right pump.

I genuinely logged onto Argos, typed in 'Air Monster' got no returns, then typed in Air pumps but that thing was not listed

I blame operator incompetence

I was saying that it looks like a pump for mattresses not tyres, but then read the description!

I bought a Sealey compressor, its a top piece of kit, if a bit of over kill. i since found the same machine in axminster a bit cheaper than I got it for and some freebees to boot.

I'm well pleased with it, I had no problems with electric trips etc.

Does anyone know where I could buy a mains operated tyre pump from please.

I have purchased two 240 volt adapters that allegedly allow the cigar lighter socket to plug in, but both have been useless. Now I want a straight forward cheap tyre pump that plugs straight into a 'hole in the wall'

Hi Nick,
Thank you very much for taking the time to post that link. What I was after was a small, light, very portable pump that I could use anywhere around the house (back garden, driveway, garage etc) The 12 volt examples are what I want but with the ability to plug into the mains. I eventually settled for a mains adapter that then allowed the 12 volt pump to work in the various locations.

Regards
John
