Portable Car Air Compressor

Keep a tyre-care tool close at hand

Add a portable electric air compressor to your vehicle-care kit. With a distinctive round, tyre-style housing, an analogue pressure gauge and a simple rocker switch, this compressor brings the key controls together on its front panel.

Before a weekend drive, take a moment to check your tyres and prepare your car-care essentials. This compressor's attached hose and vehicle power lead give you a self-contained unit to keep with your motoring supplies, subject to your vehicle's power requirements and the manufacturer's operating instructions.

Product features

• Electric design: Product photos show a vehicle accessory-socket plug rather than a foot-operated mechanism.
• Analogue dial: A front-mounted pressure gauge provides a visible reading during use.
• On/off control: A rocker switch sits below the gauge.
• Attached air hose: Shown with a metal tyre-valve connector.
• Distinctive housing: Black tyre-textured casing with an orange-red front panel.
• Power marking: The original product photo identifies DC 12V; confirm compatibility with your vehicle and the supplied instructions before connecting.

Before inflation

Check the recommended cold tyre pressure in your vehicle's handbook or tyre-pressure placard. Follow the compressor's instructions for connecting the power lead and hose, maximum operating time and required cooling breaks. Monitor pressure throughout use; automatic shut-off and preset pressure control are not confirmed for this model.

Use with care

Use only with compatible valves, power sources and inflatables approved by the manufacturer. Do not use the gauge's upper scale or a casing pressure claim as your vehicle's target tyre pressure. A compressor does not repair a puncture or make a damaged tyre safe to drive on. Follow the supplied instructions for safe handling and storage.
