Need recommendations on tire inflator.

[khun22]

Good day po sainyo mga tsikoters just wanted to ask for some recommendations for a tire inflator at kung san nabibili and price range niya planning to buy one.

[Vodka]

here's my michelin digital. don't be lazy use leg power great for topping up cars and bikes. more convenient than unraveling that stupid 12v cigarette cord on those small electric units

cheaper than getting a rechargeable inflator

and still more convenient than dragging the air hose all over your garage to use the big compressor. but of course if you're inflating from zero then use the compressor

Durable naman ba siya sir and musta quality? I don't mind using leg power hahaha must okay siya para sakin kasi no need to turn on the car when needing to inflate as long as di naman mahirap ibomba yung inflator. BTW meron nadin ba siyang built in guage meter? at san mo siya nabili sir?

i used to have that type of foot-powered pump, but different brand.
my issue with mine, is that it does not last long. laspag na after using it for only several times.

then, i graduated to the electric. the small ones did not last long; they became less efficient the more i used them. i suspect, because they overheat easily.

at present, i have been using one that is easily available from the mall auto accessories stores. i have used it many times already, and it appears as efficient now as when new. compared to the others, it appears to be made of heavier metal, and does not hide under plastic outerwear. sorry, but i don't recall the brand. but they are marketed under at least two brands. it costs 2K, more or less.

Specifically what store did you bought it at? Ace Hardware, Concorde, Blade sa mga ganon type ba ng store sir? Well may mga nabasa din ako na mas maganda daw talaga pag mostly metal ang gawa sa inflator kasi mas durable nga unlike sa plastic.

I use a double-cylinder foot pump.

Good workout. Okay when topping off regularly, but if you lose ten psi or more, takes a looooong time to reinflate.

Any recommendations on brands and where to buy them?

Elevo 688, True Value, Ace, and Concorde sells it for around 1,800 i think. Metal body and metal piston, will last longer than plastic ones. Already tried it from 0PSI and it filled up the tire without issue, also used it to help stranded motorists pag hindi nagmamadali

check out the Michelin digital at Ace hardware. got it for P999. don't worry about durability it's ridiculously overbuilt. super-stiff thick steel. accurate digital gauge. auto-off. powered by a CR2032

i mean it's a Michelin. you can't go wrong w/ a michelin. i always buy michelin tires even if they're more expensive

another option is to buy those cordless inflators from the power tool companies. they take the same battery pack as the drill etc

[lowslowbenz]

I've tried the footpumps, and the 12 volt DC things, hindi tumagal lahat sa akin.


So I bought a 1/4 HP Vespa compressor off OLX for php 4K.


Problem solved.

Ano power source niya sir? Pede ba siya isaksak dun sa mga wall outler or sa 12v nung car sinasaksak? I wouldn't mind going through that price as long as tatagal at maganda naman ung
item.

EDIT: BTW sir just checked olx may mga liters liters siya ano ibig sabihin nun? Nauubos po ba ung air then pede rin siyang refillan?

Yung photo sa first page. Yun na yun. Same gamit ko. So far ok naman.
1psi = 10 pumps based on my usage.

cr2032-powered tire inflator LOL. i don't know if i wanna laugh or cry

[gearhead000]

Eto ang gamit ko (bought at Ace for around Php1,7k):





Have only used it for topping up so far. Wala siyang deflator so kung na-overinflate ka sa gas station air fill-up, manually mo muna siya babawasan ng hangin saka inflate to your preferred psi. Features include the digital tire pressure gauge and a 5V USB outlet for charging your electronic devices, though you still need to plug it to your car's 12V cigar lighter outlet.

Cons include the 40~50 psi max pressure and not being able to inflate from flat. Haven't tried to inflate a flat but I think it's doable as long as there's 5~10 psi left and you inflate in short bursts.

Link for the user manual is here for more info: Michelin 12264 User guide

There's a higher capacity and more heavy duty model though it's already around Php2.3k++ yata:

particleX reminded me. it's an Elevo! i got it from concorde. but i also see it in Ace and handyman. there are two sizes. the 1.8K (what i got) and the bigger 2.4K.

the CR2032 powers the digital pressure meter. your foot powers the rest of the pump.
but... the question was a joke, right?
heh heh.
