What does this compressor do, and when do you need it?

A 12V compressor is used to inflate tyres without needing a mains socket. It connects to the 12V socket (cigarette lighter) of your car, which makes it handy on the road or in places where no mains power is available. Think of a flat bicycle tyre, a car tyre that has gone a bit soft, or inflatable accessories at a campsite.

Why choose this programmable model?

This model stands out because you set the desired pressure in advance. The compressor stops automatically once the set pressure value is reached, so you won't accidentally overinflate a tyre. The pressure can be set between 0.05 and 3.4 bar, which offers a wide range for different applications. That makes this device suitable for both bicycle tyres and car tyres.

Honest about the digital display

The digital display has a backlight, which makes it more comfortable to read in low light. In addition, the device has a separate LED lamp for use in the dark, for example at night on the side of the road. Both features are practical, but they are no substitute for a full work light for more extensive jobs.

Practical tips for use and storage

The device comes with three adapters, so you can also use it for tyres on bicycles, scooters or inflatable items such as mattresses. The built-in storage compartment is handy for keeping those adapters with the device so you don't lose them. Always check before use that your vehicle's socket can supply the compressor with sufficient power.
