Electric tyre pump and gauge.

[epsilonGreedy]

Since moving to a rural area garage forecourts with a working tyre pump have become few and far between.

 

Can anyone recommend a combined electric type pump and gauge?

We bought a cheap one from a car accessory shop More than ten years ago

Works perfect 

Though if I had to replace I would get one of the digi ones

Home use I use a compressor as it’s useful for a lot more than just tyres. Cheap one can be had for £40-50

Makita do an 18V compressor in their LXT range.

I prefer a separate gauge with pressure let off to a combined unit. 

 

Something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-69924-Pressure-Gauge-Flexible/dp/B0002GV286/ref=asc_df_B0002GV286/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309775958298&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13277172802141127352&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007346&hvtargid=pla-563809190768&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

Both Aldi and Lidl sell them on occasion.  Their stuff tends to be cheap and cheerful.

I like your thinking as I have other Makita 18v gear. A bit pricey at £98... think I will first compare with the Aldi/Lidl option.

Much sense in that. My concern is that the weak point of the £98 Makita will be the electronics of the gauge.

 

Just reposting a clickable version of your link for others:

Shop around and you'll get it for £70

I have never discovered a need for a general purpose compressor, I must have had a sheltered DIY life so far. Once the garage/workshop is finished who knows.

£70 for a pump.... fook that 

 

I think my electric tyre pump is a £15 Ebay special. I did change the cigarette adapter to crocodile clamps and connect straight to the battery. No problem pumping up the jcb tyres, approx 5 years old.
