device that is ideal for times when you’re on the go. Its cordless design
provides the freedom to move around your vehicle – whether it’s a car,
motorcycle, bicycle or even a small inflatable. It can inflate a 15-inch tyre
from flat in under six minutes.

A deflator valve enables you to accurately attain the desired pressure, while a
powerful in-built LED is excellent for emergencies in low-level lighting. A
backlit digital screen simplifies setting your tyre pressure, while a digital
auto-stop feature will cease inflation automatically once the correct pressure
is reached.
