Are there any cheapish digital tyre inflators out there (£40) that
come with crocodile clips, internal battery or main adapter instead of
the cigarette lighter adapter?


I wanted to pick one up to blow my tyres up as a lot of the air pumps
at garages near me are not working at the moment. Unfortunately my
cars cig lighter don't work even when the car is switched on.


I don't know of any of these compressors with a decent gauge. I use a jump
start pack and a separate accurate gauge. The battery still works the
compressor adequately long after it has ceased being capable of delivering
the current needed for a jump start.

But if the fag lighter plug is the only real problem with a car battery
driven one, easy enough to hack it off and replace with croc clips. Or
make up an adaptor lead so you have the choice.
