Someone should develop a tyre valve with a small high-pressure release valve on its side that opens slightly and whistles when the correct pressure is reached!

INKSPE you don't have a proper wolf compressor fitted in the garage with a retractable hose? Pop on a controllable socket in the wings and its easy. Pop some mat underneath to dull the noise.
Car, motorhome tyres, balls, nut wrench, big sander and polisher for bodywork etc.

I rather doubt it has an auto stop. It appears to have just a pressure gauge on the pump body (which is less convenient than mine which has it at the valve connection end),
So I have my doubts you have made the best choice...Leave a comment:

It's good, as it should be for the price. But I reckon if you buy it cheap you buy it twice.Leave a comment:

What's wrong with a good old fashioned foot pump? Had one of these for 20 years and it's never failed.
You also get a bit of a workout at the same time.Leave a comment:

Most electric tyre inflators are designed to work for about 5 to 10 minutes at a time. The Michelin ones for around £40 are much stronger and will pump up a complete flat tyre.

She is scared or finding it uncomfortable/difficult using the facilities available at Petrol stations, Supermarkets etc. We tried one from Amazon (can't remember the name). It was working fine, it leaked pressure when detaching the nozzle which made her life even more difficult. Can't remember if the nozzle was screw type or clip-on
