Can anyone recommend a tyre inflator that runs on both 12v DC and mains AC?

Hi all

 

As the title. I'm looking for a decent compressor, to inflate tyres, air beds etc. But it would be good if it could be powered from the mains to avoid flattening a car battery / having to run the engine when there is access to a mains socket.

 

Can anyone recommend one? I don't really want to mess around with separate AC - DC converters.

 

This pump looks good [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/HEAVY-DUTY-TYRE-COMPRESSOR-INFLATOR-140PSI/dp/B005ERFIWE/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t]HEAVY-DUTY CAR TYRE AIR COMPRESSOR INFLATOR 12V 140PSI: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41P9ydzWX1L.@@AMEPARAM@@41P9ydzWX1L[/ame] but it's 12V DC only.

 

Any suggestions? Cheers.

good luck finding both dc and ac, these are used on landys with air brakes etc.

Yep, it doesn't seem to be easy! Don't really want to have to get two compressors if I can avoid it. Maybe I can live with a 12DC option only.

 

The ones on that website look good, but a bit hardcore for my needs I think. Cheers though.

they are at least half way to a mains voltage smallish ones output, so best of both worlds, some evan 100% duty cycle. not cheap but if you pay cheap you get cheap, one tyre and the things melting.

Hi mate is only for tyres thanks Jon

Mainly for tyres, yes (and topping up rather than inflating from flat). Possibly the odd air mattress when camping etc.

 

Realistically, it probably wouldn't be used often - so I don't want to chuck a whole load of money at it.

As said above hard pushed to find ac-dc one.

My brother bought a couple of Bon air tyre inflaters of EBay a couple of years ago great little thing.

Thanks, but that will only handle 1A of current. The pump I linked earlier needs 10A.
