RAC610 Analogue Tyre Inflator

I bought The ring tyreinflate about 3 to 4 weeks ago, only used it for the first time today 1/7/2026, brilliant piece of kit, a little bit noisy but works great 👍

I've had 2 punctures recently, each fortunately slow ones and near enough to get home, but I got to thinking: if/when that happens again do I want to change a wheel (I'm old-fashioned enough to carry a spare), or would I rather pump it up and get to my destination and take stock there? I decided on the latter, which is why I bought this. It's small and light enough to carry with other necessities in the boot. It's obviously not of the robust construction necessary for professional use, but I was pleased to see that the one used by the guy on the YouTube video I found (the pictorial instructions that come with it are far from clear) was battered and well-used, he said it was 10 years old and had always worked perfectly. I've used mine only the once, just so that I know how to work it. I dare say that the gauge is accurate, though I use a separate one. Plug it into the outlet in the car. The lead is plenty long enough to reach all the wheels, unless you drive a stretch limo. It's important to remember to screw the nozzle on all the way until you hear the "pfft" that tells you that the valve is open, press the button (there's only one!) and wait. I must say it was pretty loud and took a good minute or so to put in 2 or 3 p.s.i. so I suppose it would take 10 minutes or more to inflate from flat but that's perfectly acceptable on what I hope will be the rare occasions when I use it. Useful, easy to use and good value.

I bought this when my (Halfords) two barrel manual foot pump for the car broke after a year or so and the replacement single barrel (Michelin) one never even worked! I still like having a manual pump (I have now have an very cheap discount store single barrel one and so far so good) but having had to rely on a neighbour seeing me struggle and fetching their compressor I realised that I needed both. I did a bit of research beforehand and chose this make as a manufacturer of decent compressors at a fair price. Some of the branded or automotive organisation tie-in ones are stupidly priced and yet offer nothing more really. This is a simple model but that fits my needs. It stores away neatly and now lives on the boot of the car with the manual pump and tyre pressure gauge. PROS: At just under £12 this is very good value in my opinion. It works! Not had to use in anger so far (thankfully) just topping up the pressure but it's okay for that. Stores away neatly. CONS: nothing really - I know others have questioned it accuracy but I still use a manual gauge to verify the tyre pressures. Long-term reliability is a matter of wait and see I guess, but if manual pumps are anything to go by then big brands and more expensive pumps (or compressors) do not necessarily equate to better reliability and if I am going to have to buy twice I would rather pay less for the privilege. OVERALL: I can only comment in respect of my own fairly low usage, but I have found this compressor pump to work okay and be a neat, small and easy to store package. I tend to use it as a back-up to manual pump being old-school but I am pleased to have it there for that purpose juts in case. I can recommend it, albeit somewhat cautiously, as I know that others will use theirs much more often and thus will be testing it more thoroughly.

Overall, I'm well pleased with this purchase and recommend it as a "good to have" in your car boot. Bought this a replacement to my old halfords twin barrel footpump which started to show sqeaking mouse-like traits. Was at first a little suspicious of it's capability and endurance due to the price ( paid around £10 for it ) which was less than some of the manual pumps I looked at. The expression "No Brainer" is well suited to this compact compressor - but that's exactly what this is. Out of the box the unit dimensions are retained since it cutely self contains the 12v cigarette lighter style plug/cable and the air line is also hidden away in it's own compartment. Unlike some units, where it is almost impossible to return the cables and hose into their respective 'tidy holes', this unit is simple to repack, put back in it's box, and it takes up very little storage room. The other features I liked was the unit has an On/Off button and a screw-in arline connector which seemed far better than the usual "trigger cap" style valve connectors. Operationally - yes it's probably a bit slow, although I have nothing of the same to compare it against, but certainly does the job efficiently, (I wouldn't necessarily say quietly) but does the job required and at the price ? - it's well worth just a few extra seconds wait. I would recommend keeping the car running if using this pump to inflate tyres from flat - but then that applies to any device of this type. Also the inbuilt pressure guage should ONLY be used as a general indication. On mine it is not an accurate reading and I I have found it to show less than actual pressure.

so easy to use, keep in boot of car, quickly pumps up tyres with press of a button. recommend.

Does the job with no problem and easy to store. Thumbs up all round

Received today due to having to pump my car tyre that's run flat overnight. Used the pump as soon as it arrived, very easy to use and did the job perfectly. Seems to do exactly what it says on the tin, great for the price

Works as it should,good bit of kit.

I bought this for my car after replacing the run flat tyres with normal ones. It has so many good reviews. Now I know why. It’s well built and more powerful than most. What I also appreciated is the compact size. It perfectly fitted in my car’s accessory space. What really makes it stand out is that if you press the start button it automatically fills the tyre to 30 or equivalent. The you can kept holding the button for the exact pressure. Great for roadside emergencies.

🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 ➡️ Que contient la boite ? - le gonfleur / compresseur - un manuel - deux embouts supplémentaires. J’ai vu sur la fiche produit qu’il est sensé y avoir un embout pour ballons, mais moi je ne l’ai pas dans la boite. ➡️ Comment ça fonctionne ? - c’est un gonfleur / compresseur : vous branchez l’alimentation dans l’allume cigar. Je vous conseille de mettre le moteur en route, ça consomme jusqu’à 10A. - de l’autre côté vous reliez le gonfleur / compresseur au pneu ou bien ce à quoi vous voulez gonfler. - vous appuyez sur le bouton power, et ça gonfle ! ➡️ Mes impressions - compact et léger, ça ne prend pas de place dans la voiture. - ça a l’air de très bien fonctionner. Pas aussi rapide qu’en station service bien sûr, mais en 1 minute je suis passé de 1,8 à 2,6 bar. - ça fait du bruit, clairement, ça couvre le son de la radio - comme le gonfleur / compresseur est léger, il a tendance à bouger mais bon, ce n’est pas très important. - le câble électrique est bien assez long pour rejoindre les pneus arrière en branchant l’alimentation devant, sur un Peugeot 5008. ➡️ Conclusion Pas cher et très pratique pour ce prix dérisoire. En bonus, une photo de la vis dans mon pneu. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Si vous avez lu ce commentaire, cliquez sur OUI ci dessous, ça me fait plaisir de savoir que j'ai été lu et ça m'encourage à faire mieux. 💗

Cheap broke after the first time I used it. One month was past since I bought it Amazon done except returns after 30 days. Don't waste your money.

Prodotto corrispondente alla descrizione, nuovo e consegnato nei tempi previsti. Il compressore a distanza di tempo funziona perfettamente. Manometro molto preciso. Piccolo e versatile.

Lo compré para tener un compresor portátil en el coche. Funciona bien, es compacto, va enganchado al mechero, el cable de alimentación es suficientemente largo como para llegar a las 4 ruedas, el enganche a la válvula es por rosca, algo menos cómodo pero más preciso que el de presión y sin fugas. Lo que menos me ha gustado es que resulta algo ruidoso y va algo lento. Pero en general buena relación calidad precio. Lo recomiendo.
