alcal Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I'm going to ask Santa for one of these. Should I go for a De Walt one which attaches to the battery I already have with my drill (cost c.£130) or a stand alone one e.g. Ring (cost C.£60)? Thoughts/experiences appreciated.

Jonathan Kay Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Recent comparison of a Ring with a Makita pump. Do you want something that lives in the Seven/ other vehicle, or stays in the garage? How about a combined lithium battery jump starter and inflator?

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted November 14, 2023 Leadership Team Share Posted November 14, 2023 I use one of these, the power source is charged daily so always ready to go … 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcal Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 Thanks SLR. I already have one of those but the power source is not what it was.. and I like a gadget. Jonathan - The inflator would be garage based 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a Ryobi pump with my drill/impact driver batteries. Works really well so would imagine the DeWalt equivalent would be just as good. I use a separate digital pressure gauge, and just over inflate by a PSI or two and then drop it down to where I want them for the conditions/intentions... Either way I'd go for one with a clamp on fitting not a screw on, easier to get accurate pressures and since our cars are so sensitive to pressures...

DirtBuddha Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 My Milwaukee is the best battery-operated tyre pump I've ever had. I've had it for 2 years, inflated tyres on every car in our family, my Caterhams, track days, my VW Crafter Camper Van, Toyota Land Cruiser etc and it never misses a beat. Even used it to inflate my Ifor Williams trailer tyres (they require 90 psi each) and it did them just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youds7 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I have the Makita one and find it very good - already have lots of Makita kit so it was a no brainer because the bare unit was on offer at a tool fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
