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

I bought one of these recently to replace an old analogue one. It's relatively cheap and is fairly quick. You can set the pressure, so it cuts out when done.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Or you could get the very similar Ryobi one (and then dive into the whole rechargeable tool world) and not have to faff with the 12V lead.

...or this (useful for camping too)...

But wait for Amazon Prime 'Day' (11-12th July) to see if any are on offer...and don't forget that a lot of these items are 'body only' so you'll need Ryobi ONE+ battery too....and the charger

I had the top (cheaper) one and the gauge is worse than useless and it doesn't have automatic shut-off when the selected pressure is reached. I sent it back and got this one instead which has a digital gauge and does switch off at the preset pressure.
The great thing with this type of tool system is that you aren't constantly buying a battery that is built in to the tool; so if it dies, the tool can still be used. By having several batteries, you can do a big job and swap out a depleted battery for a spare that has been charging.
Each manufacturer has their own incompatible system, so plan carefully before you commit.
