portable tyre compressors - help a clueless girl please!

<< < (2/3) > >>

DiscoJim:
I bought 60 of the T-max ones in June to sell on. They are really good, more so when you consider the price. I keep one in the Disco and have used it for tyres, airbeds etc. Inflates a flat 245/75 very quickly.

They are fairy lightweight, I would guess about 4-5kgs and come in a neat bag.

Daz800:
mm4x4 do tmax ones at about 50 notes.

I've used both the Truck-air and Viair ones.  Truck-air are basically souped up cheap compressors.  Still plenty of plastic in them.  They'll do fine for a standard 4x4 vehicle for normal usage, where a Halfords-type compressor would take an eternity to pump up the tires and probably fail after reasonable use.

Viair are properly engineered compressors and use decent quality components.  Fine for expedition use (eg if you're constantly going to be raising/lowering your tyre pressures for sand driving) or if you expect to hammer them.  They're also quicker, which is handy if you have 6x 41" tyres to inflate :)

I use a Truck-air in the Discovery, and a Viair in the 101.

thanks, everyone, for all the advice!  I've gone for the t-max one for £42 - arrives next week...

cheers!

Hi POTCHKAI i think PADDOCKS do the Tmax comp.,so if it's over £50 they will send it out to you and save your friend the job.
