Affordable and Portable Tire Inflator (12V cigarette lighter socket)

[Athrunzala]

I use an Elevo car pump...it's very good but keeps blowing up my Ertiga's 15A fuse in less than a minute. The device and cigarrette port are not grounded.

What's the best remedy? I plan to connect it directly to the battery
...no more fuse will blow up. I will buy 2 heavy duty clamps n wire. I only use it for only less than a minute.

So I am sure it will not drain my car battery.

Salamat po.

haha yan din nangyari sa digital elevo tire inflator ko, kapag matagal ko na ginamit naninira ng mga fuse kaya tinapon ko na lol

it's a horizontal silver metal tube, with a black pressure gauge dial at the top.
no plastic body covers or any attempts at streamlining.
i have used it many times already, and it is still as efficient as when new.
it cost me 1800 bucks or so, some years back, from the mall auto accessories store.
i believe it is an "elevo" brand. but someone showed me a picture of the same, with a different name on it.

fast forward two years.
well,
this elevo that i praised to the high heavens a while back...
the orange tubing broke at the proximal end! the entire tubing is matigas na at crumble-able with one's hands.
the rest of the pump still functions well, however.
where can i have that tube replaced?
i have asked around, and they didn't know where.

The Elevo pump is good but they have no spare parrts for it. Lousy after sales service.
I cannot use a manual pump because of my health.

I cannot afford to throw it away so I will buy a cigarette lighter port and
clip it directly to the battery poles...that will not blow up any fuse anymore.
. I will see if Blade or Handyman sells them. I will update you if it works.
Thank you very much.

I bought a portable tire inflator from Total Tools, there are 2 or 3 branches in my place (Cebu) and the device is very reliable and worth only P1,200.00 a year ago. Definitely I will buy again another one from Total Tools if ever masira ito. But there is no sign of letting up....

I bought mine from shopee international seller. Still working fine after 3 months. Big help dahil pwede na mag-inflate bago magbyahe without stopping at a gas station. Had a change to help others din particularly this beautiful mom whose kid's bike had a flat tire.

Since the topic is tyre inflators, anyone here already tried this? It's xiaomi's tyre inflator. Got curious as it looks very compact.

This 1's vintage, when the US was what Trump wants it to be again, the great manufacturing giant. This yankee-made gen1 variant by Interdynamics predates obsolescence engineering. 29 turning 30 soon....& still works! Built to last.[emoji106]

I bought something similar to this from Lazada for around Php1,000.
Ginagamit ko lang pag 4 or 5psi yung idagdag ko.

Pag sobrang lambot ng gulong, I use my Lotus tire inflator na analog.

This is the one I have as well.

Tried to inflate a spare tire with 8 psi left to 32 psi using this tire inflator at kinaya naman nya. Pinagpahinga ko lang after para safe.

Most tire inflators can only be used for up to 5 minutes tops ... otherwise they overheat ... read the instructions ...
