can anyone recomend a 12volt compressor ?
Can anyone recommend a good 12 volt compressor, had several of the rubbish kind, usually with box labels promising 300psi, yet after using them a few
times take about 10 minutes to put 30psi in a tyre. I have a 240v one at home, so just wanting something for tyres at trackdays

I recently bought one of the Clarke jump starting booster packs with an in built compressor for taking to sprints/races. It acts as a slave battery
for starting and does the tyres without need to be plugged in to anything else.
The compressor seemed to work fine getting a tyre on my truck to 50psi as well.
It also has a 12v port for powering other things like phone chargers and a working lamp.
Genuinely one of the most useful bits of kit I have ever bought.

The build quality of these things is appalling, I have been looking at the more expensive twin cylinder ones that are sold as being suitable for off
roading.

How about one from an OEM? My Fiesta has a pump in the boot, and it's fairly fast. The only downside is that it's quite noisy, but can be
had for less than £20 on eBay.

I have found the OEM ones pretty good, my old eBay £5 one from a Citreon has lasted well, the one in the boot of my Volvo looks to be very robust.

I have got this one and find it works well
http://www.screwfix.com/p/ring-digital-air-compressor-light-12v/5804G?kpid=5804G&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%2520Listing%2520Ads-_-Sales%2520Tracking-

As a bonus I checked its accuracy against very high quality calibrated gauges at work and its within 0.5 psi every time

A bicycle floor pump will do the job with modest amount of effort and has a decent gauge. The large barrel mountain bike ones are better for the high
volume/low pressure of a car tyre

"Streetwize Kruga Air Compressor" with Orange Hose, was £20 during one of the ECP sales
Much quieter and quicker than the junk I've used in the past

The only compressors worth buying are VIAIR, but if price is an issue, go with a something else that's got no plastic.
Cheers,

I have been using a T-max 12V Air Compressor for the past 5 years and it’s been brilliant or through it’s quite expensive
Pumps 160 Litres per minute 0 PSI (FAD Free Air Displacement).
Pumps 70 Litres per minute at 30 PSI.
