Ideaworks cordless tyre inflator (1 Viewer)

[Stretto Boy]

Tested it on my motorhome today. It's a complete pile of:

My rear offside tyre was at 60psi and according to Auto-Sleepers and Peugeot it should be 80psi. Tried for several minutes and the pressure was . . . . . still 60psi. Left it for a few minutes as it was starting to get a bit warm. Tried again. Same result or, more accurately, lack of result. In my opinion it is unfit for purpose and I will be returning it.

It may well be alright at lower pressures but is clearly incapable of achieving anything remotely close to the claimed 116psi. It looks as if the good reviews on Amazon UK are, shall we say, wide of the mark and the terrible ones on the US site are spot on.

It's a shame because being cordless it's very convenient to use. But that's no good if it doesn't work!

I have a 12volt Truckaire pump which works ok but most of the time I use one of these https://www.evanscycles.com/bontrager-recharger-track-pump-EV199462

That looks like hard work to get my motorhome tyres up to 80psi!

You might be surprised how much pressure they create. Racing bike tyres run at 90 - 100 psi and the track pump cylinder is significantly larger than that on a small motor driven one.
