I've always carried a tyre pump in my toolkit. I tried the 12V electric jobby but found that to be OK for blowing up party balloons but not much else. Since then I've carried, but never used, a single cylinder footpump.
Sadly, a willing helper accidently drove my van over the pump and I now need to get a replacement.
I've browsed the usual sources for such things and most have gauges that read from 0 to 100 psi but having a gauge that shows that range doesn't mean it can inflate to that pressure - does it? My van speedo goes up to 110 mph but it would have to be a very steep, downward, hill for me to get close to that.
So, learned members, can the average, Halfords type price/quality/ footpump get up to my tyre pressure of 65?
Anyone got a specific recommendation?
