Portable Digital Car Tire Inflator

The low tire light comes on in a cold parking lot and the little air gun is already in the glovebox, charged and ready.

You screw the hose onto the valve, thumb the pressure you want, and pull the trigger. The digital screen counts up in the dark, the built in light throws a white beam on the wheel, and the pump shuts itself off the moment it hits your number. No cord to run to a socket, no gauge to squint at with a flashlight in your teeth.

The body is molded plastic around a metal alloy cylinder, about 540 grams in the hand. It pushes 20 liters of air per minute and runs 5 to 20 minutes at a stretch. The set ships with a power cable, an air tube and four nozzle adapters for car and motorcycle tires, a bicycle, and sports balls. Choose a wired or cordless version with a digital or pointer display.

Key Benefits

• Preset auto stop Dial in the pressure you want and the pump fills to it and shuts off on its own, so you cannot overfill.
• Digital pressure display A backlit screen shows the reading as it climbs, on the digital versions, with plus and minus buttons and a mode key.
• Cordless and rechargeable The wireless versions run off an internal battery you top up over the USB cable, so there is no cord to reach a socket.
• Built in LED light A white beam on the front lights the valve for a roadside stop after dark.
• Fast airflow A 17 cylinder pump moves 20 liters of air per minute through a metal alloy body.
• Four adapters Nozzles for car and motorcycle valves, a bicycle valve and a ball needle come in the box.

Best for: drivers who want a compact pump in the car for a low tire, plus quick top ups for a bike, a motorcycle or the kids sports balls.

Why It Works

A foot pump takes both hands and a gas station machine is never there when you need it. This one lives in the door pocket, sets its own target, lights the wheel and stops when the tire is full, so a low tire is a two minute job in the cold.

How It Fits Your Routine

It rides in the glovebox for the morning the dashboard warns of a soft tire, ready to bring it back up to pressure before you pull out of the drive.

On the weekend it tops up a bike before a ride, a motorcycle before a run, or a flat soccer ball before the match, then charges back up over USB for the next time.
