Tyre Inflator this ok?
Hello

Just after a small inflator to keep in boot with other kit?

Will something like this pump up Defender tyres or do I need something more heavy duty?

It will save me using my bike foot pump !!

I carry one of these Bonaire units in the back of the 90 and another in my motorcaravan, a bit more heavy duty than the one listed but bought from Costco not a huge amount more expensive (come in a natty bag as well!).
The performance far exceeds the cheaper models (meaning you are running it for less time) and also they don't get as hot. They draw a bit more current but I have never blown a fuse yet.

The TMax is quite popular with Defender owners. Comes in two sizes

Much more expensive than the ring thought at £70 for the smaller one

I've had two of the cheap units, first one read pressure correctly which prevented it from inflating above 0.5 bar and second failed to work after a the second time I used it. Maybe it was bad luck, but I'd say for the price it was to be expected.

I have the TMax but its a PITA to dismantle the passenger seat to get to the battery every time you want to pop a bit of air in your tyres.

I now use a Clark JumpStart with compressor - just as good and "wireless" too!!

I killed a few of the various "cheap" units with land rover, trailer and van tyres.

Tried to justify an ARB, ended up with the big T-Max, and very happy with it! Put an anderson connector on it, and have andersons front and rear in the truck so that I don't have to dismantle the seat!

Thanks all


I've bought an AA one which had auto cut off once it reaches Psi

It's from Amazon so will try it & if no good upgrade 👍👍

I've used a cheapy one for years, work well just very slow. I changed it for an auto cut off so at least you can leave it to it. Works very well. Even has a little light which is useful. James
