Can anyone recommend a good tyre compressor for my transporter ?

[John Drake]

The compressor I use for my car tops out at 35psi, looking for recommendations for one that will go higher for my van.

Cracking 12v Tyre Inflator Pump from - Costco -

i picked up one of these little pumps at Costco the other day . . . . . .

gota say - very impressed and defo recommended

looks like you can get then on Amazon too if you dont have a Costco card =-]

Amazon - https://amzn.to/35IqbRC

I have the Big T-Max pump which is great . . . . . but you have to connected direct across the battery and run the engine as its 40A pump....

This one is under the limit for 12v sockets so comes with one =]

The lead is long enough to easily reach all the wheels (which my old one didnt)

it comes...

I've got a Bon-Aire one as well, and no issues with it, nice neat size.

I've got the Costco one as well. Great, pressure dial undereads a bit but thats just a minor gripe.

I have the older model Bon-Aire from Costco....single cylinder. Works well..pumps up my 16 inch tyre from 40psi to 60 psi in 3 minutes.
Nice and compact. Cheers.

I've been using a Milwaukee M18 cordless. I have a Makita battery adaptor from Amazon so I can use my Makita batteries and it all works very well.
Also bought a quick connect attachment to make connecting to the tyre valve quicker.
Being portable is very useful. I use it to inflate my wife's tyres, my other vehicle,push bikes etc etc.

I have a Vtoman - works as a jump starter and tyre compressor (and battery bank). It’s lasting really well despite being used as a pump weekly. Bought it 2 years ago.

Not sure they do that one under that brand name anymore (they do power packs and solar still but have dropped the smaller items from what I can see) but they are the same group as GooLoo who always seem to score highly in reviews/tests. GooLoo have a couple of options for good money.

I’ve also used the built in jump starter once and it worked an absolute treat.

I agree and I've got a similar one that works off the van's 12V system, but you'd have to check that a 3.5 Metre power cable would get you to the rear wheels, it might do but you'd want to be certain. My one is only just long enough to reach either rear wheel.
I do have a cordless one but it stays in the shed.

Yeah it reaches fine.

I have the Makita version, usefull bit of kit, great for re-charging expansion vessels on heating systems also, seems reasonably accurate
