12V Tyre Inflators???
Decided to treat myself as getting lazy and need buying advice.
The most important thing is ease of use as sick of ripping my knuckles on the huge discs on front of the GSXR.
So waddya say?

For the cars I use https://www.halfords.com/tools/garage-e ... 39074.html
For the bikes it's easier to go rechargeable cordless so use
Both are bob on, set the pressure you want, press the button and away they go

I've got 3 or 4 of the ones that you have to plug into a fag lighter socket to use, but they never get used these days since I've had one of these

Rechargeable so properly portable, can pre-set pressures and just leave it to it until it stops automatically, and it's fast compared to my other ones

Re: 12V Tyre Inflators???
Get yerself a compressor, mate. Once you've had one you will wonder how you ever managed without it. Besides being able to check tyre pressures before every ride, it's invaluable for all sorts of other stuff. Just being able (with the correct attachment) to blast air down a blind hole to clear swarf, crap etc. is really handy, as is the ability to dry off a part instantly using compressed air. Once you've got one you'll find endless uses. Don't piss about with a toy 12v thing, get a proper 240v one (or whatever voltage they use in Tenerife/Lanzarote/wherever) and you're good to go. And next time fit angled valves to your wheels...
