Can anyone recommend a good powerful tyre inflator for my car as my old one has just gone bang?

I’ve been really happy with a Ryobi R18I-0 18V, digital and quiet. Also have a bmw mobily kit in the boot but that 12V compressor probably won’t last if used regularly.

Ive got a RING compressor in my cars. They seem to work well and have a "screw on" connection - They are also slim enough to slot away in and around the battery area in an E89
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

That can't be just me that finds that funny, surely?

I have a couple of the Ring compressors, but to be honest, the other week I was in a hurry and grabbed the bike pump off the shelf. One of those high capacity, tall, standup ones with the T-handle you push up and down. It only took a few pumps and I was finished before I would have had the compressor unravelled and plugged in.
Ideal for a quick top up, but probably back-breaking on a flat.

I've probably got at least one 12v in the back of each car and a mains-powered one at home - usually Ring RAC820 or Goodyear version, BMW/Conti Mobility Kit.
Ring RAC820
The ContiMobility one is not much different to the BMW one, but only £35. Never had to use anything other than the pumps to top up a slow puncture until I could get to a garage though!

If you're looking for a cordless one, keep an eye on this...

I've got one and it's great, but doesn't seem to be for sale anymore, so this might be your last chance
