12v Air Compressor Recommendations

[freid]

Not strictly stalking equipment, but looking for a decent 12v compressor to keep in my truck. Any recommendations?

Is this to fill a PCP air rifle?

Lol. No for inflating and deflating tyres etc.

Watching with interest - although I’m thinking more of an air compressor for home to pump up tyres, etc.

Hi

Autoexpress recently tested a variety and came out with a recommended.

I’ve got a couple of those cheap Ring ones in various cars. Slow but reliable - had them for years but to be honest they only get used very occasionally.

Compressor at home for all thingys blowy…

Ring RAC900 are the business for both volume and pressure. Never found anything better but not cheap at about £80

I've got a hf compressor in my land Rover to do the diff lockers etc, it's a arb copy and they are meant to be great, might be worth a look

It wasn’t intended as joke but I guess upon reflection you would need some serious grunt (amps) to drive a compressor that could fill a diver’s breathing air tank.

Ring in the boot and aldi,s finest 2.5hp 50litre at home for tyres ,painting and air tools.
And they're both old but keep working.

I got one from CostCo - can't remember the make (I'll look in the morning), but it was about 25 quid iirc, and inflates tyres in no time

I use an Airman Tour compressor for both motorbike and Shogun. The gauge on mine is very accurate. Here's their car/truck version

210 bar and the air would not be moisture free so not to be recommended.

tyre wise, I bought a draper one. Think I paid £30 for it. It comes so you can set the tyre pressure and it switches off once it come to it. Works.

Ring RAC900 available on Amazon. Excellent piece of kit. Had one 2 years now and never let me down. Lives in the Polaris with tyre plugs.

Thanks chaps. An HF/ARB compressor would be neat, but overkill for my requirements. RING seem to get the most mention, so will have a look. I have a small one of theirs, but something like the RAC900 looks like its more suitable for me needs.

I have the Milwaukee 12v battery compressor. Brilliant bit of kit. But then I already have Milwaukee tools for all the batteries. Highly recommend though and if you get the 6 APH batteries that's a lot of tyre pumps

I know it's not 12v but I have one of the Makita 18v cordless air compressors works quickly and is absolutely brilliant.. portable pumps to decent pressures pretty quicky..
Even use mine for air testing heating systems..

Viair are excellent Portable Compressors
