Inflate your tyres with ease from the comfort of your van with the 12v air compressor. Ideal for popping tubeless tyres onto the bead or for quick and easy tyre inflation and pressure checks...

 

 

A convenient kit but doesn't look especially industrial. Will it be up to blowing out saw air filters, oiling holes and side cover shite in the side of the van? Is there a better way of doing it for about the same money?

I would say that there is precisely ZERO chance of seating tyres on rims with one of them..

For MANY MANY years i used a large propane tank fitted with a schrader valve for such things [mobile air i mean] I would pump it up from a compressor or even a forecourt air line.

 

One thing i did a lot, it i would have to go to pick up a car [with my breakdown lorry] only to find all the car tyres flat. A medium sized propane tank will easily pump up 4 tyres..

Its for bike tyres, I imagine it does that just fine. Looks like you'll get a good blast for a few seconds while the tank empties then a wait.

 

It says it'll run off a cigarette lighter so that probably limits it to 10A. That isn't much power for a compressor so I would guess a few minutes to refill, on the other hand for blowing out a saw you only need 30 or 40 psi so it could be just fine.

 

I got a 12v compressor from a 4x4 supplier, which connects directly to the battery for higher power. Never seen one of them with a tank though. Would be an interesting experiment to put a 10m hose on the compressor as a sort of long thin tank, shorter blast but quicker refill.

I would think after a few minutes of running it would have the added bonus of being able to heat your lunch up on the motor body, or even on the lighter plug

That looks good. Anyone used one for heavy duty stuff (like caked-on, oily sawdust)? The YouTube videos are mostly of women and poofs blowing dry concrete dust.

Yes, it will do what you ask, but it is not really in the same price bracket.

I can't see the price of your one.

 

And do you you mean that your one will do what I want or the one I posted in the opening post will do what I want?
