12v tyre pump

[hiluxman]

Yes. Its good. Pumps tyres up quickly. Only niggle i found is the pressure gauge would of been better next to the on off switch rather on the lead. But overall im very happy with it.

None at all. Even my mate bought one after seeing it

I’ve just ordered the 18v cordless inflator from Makita - will report back when it gets here...

 

[Russell]

I was tempted by the Makita one but ordered the Kato instead.
Ordered a Clarke jump pack to hopefully run it.

I’ve the dewalt equivalent great bit of kit to get you out of a hole

 

[Brendan]

Has it arrived? Any good?
I'm fed up dragging my 50l compressor round the front to pump up tyres.
Also what about jump packs, its sort of related. Got a powered cool box for my lunch the other day but don't want to flatten car battery.
Treating myself to a few goodies because I sold my last motorbike a few days ago

I've got the noco gb70 does 2000amps apparently suitable for 6.0 diesel engines.
Nice and small can squeeze it behind the rear passenger seat in my ranger without having to move the seat forward

Does it work? Heard mixed reports on them compact ones. Fancied one myself .

Mine is great, but has struggled with a totally flat tractor (6l diesel to be fair). I’d buy a bigger one next time (but it is bloody good on anything ‘realistic’, and is extremely compact for the punch it packs).

Handy to know as I've always been a bit dubious. I guess the key thing is to keep it charged as i always think they'd be great to have but when you were desperate and in a rush it'd be sods law it be flat. Anderson plug on front of me hilux and a decent set of jump leads does me.

They take a while to charge up too. I do use mine all the time though, it’s really handy. I tend to leave it on charge in the pickup when I’m not using it.

Mine has been good, they seem to prefer a direct link to battery terminals rather than positive and earth point.
You can hold the button for a few seconds to turn off the safety features for flat batteries.
I've not had it fail to start anything yet.
3hours to charge via 12v plug

ive got one of those jump starters, its about the size of a paperback book. I was very dubios it would be any good but it jump started the jcb telehandler last week no problem at all. I was a bit amazed a bunch of AA batteries could put out that much juice.

 

[hiluxman]

I just put mine into phone charger at home. Doesnt take as long to charge that way

 

[Mogman]

I have a GB70 too I’ve started my truck when it just started clicking stuck it on one battery and it got her going (12 litre) very impressed they also make a 12/24v GB500 one too but at £1,300 bit steep for me

 

[Russell]

I got a 36 ah lithium Ion one from machine mart. I charged it and after 1 hour of running my cool box it was flat . The cool box is about 4.5a when cold so I sent the jump pack back.

 

[doobin]

I've been impressed with my Noco. So much better than jump leads.
