About this deal

Other than road rescuers, this would suit camping and caravanning supremely well, where you’ve got a bit of extra space to carry it and perhaps a leisure battery to hook it up to. Ring could extend its usefulness by offering this pump with a couple of different power leads though. If it was easy enough to fit a three-pin plug for example, I’d happily leave this handy unit set up in my garage. Nothing: Light-weight, powerful, independent - It pumps up vehicle tyres, bicycle tyres and footballs (adapter included), wherever you are, and whenever you need it. How to use this item:

We timed how long it took to inflate a 15-inch tyre from 20-30psi, noting the pressures displayed before and after, plus the ambient and working noise levels. We also timed adding 5psi to a space-saver tyre, to bring it up to 60psi. Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below. To complement its cordless tyre inflator range, lighting and accessory giant, Ring, has introduced the RTC4000 to fill a gap in the market for a compact, yet powerful and high quality cordless tyre inflator for cars and motorbikes.

Specifications

It’s noisy, dishing out 77dB in operation. And the pressure gauge can be difficult to read since, because it goes up to 250psi, that crucial 0 to 60psi zone is crammed into the first quarter of the dial. However, it pumped up our test tyre from 20 to 30psi in just under two-and-a-half minutes, with no fuss or faff. It’s a shame that the supplied accessories are so basic – just a ball inflator and two adaptors for inflatable toys – still, if you’re looking to spend as little as possible, then the Storm Force Mini does the job. As it stands though I’m more likely to reach for my more convenient battery-powered pump when it comes to squeezing a few extra PSI into my tyres.

Finally we tried it on a few flat footballs and a basketball, using the attachment which cleverly slots in the base. Again it was simple to use and fast to inflate - a handy thing to have for when the kids decide they want to play football there and then. Over the time we've used it, we found it has kept its charge well, even when sat in the boot of the car for a few months.Users will also appreciate the thoughtful design elements, including a potent built-in LED light to illuminate the wheel valve in poorly lit conditions, which can also serve as an emergency light. Furthermore, the RTC4000 comes in a smart storage case, which cleverly allows the inflator to charge while safely nestled inside. The inflator's compact size and lightweight design make it easy to transport, making it an excellent companion for motorcyclists and cyclists. Larger inflators include rechargeable batteries, which make them completely portable. These are a better option if you want to pump up, say, bicycle tyres, without having to wheel the bike next to your car. You may also need a larger inflator for tyres that need higher-than-average pressures, such as a larger van or campervan. What about extras? Comes with a 3-piece adaptor kit for small inflatables such as sportsequipment and Presta bike valves.

Tyre pressures are typically between 30psi and 40psi (or 2 bar and 2.8 bar). How to test your tyre pressure Given most people are used to tyre inflators being the size of a kids lunchbox with wires and cables, this small handlheld design might come as a surprise. It's about the size of a standard 50cl bottle of water and not much different in weight either. To charge it up took about three hours when it first arrived and since then we've been charging it up between uses. Smart storage case allows you to charge the inflator whilst still in the bag; with storage for cable The RTC4000 is not just an inflator but also a smart tyre pressure management system. The digital auto-stop feature ensures the inflator ceases once the set pressure is achieved, while the integrated memory function can store up to four tyre pressures in PSI, BAR or kPA. In case of overinflation, a deflator valve is incorporated for precise pressure adjustments. Adaptability and Convenience

With drivers at the forefront of the development process, Ring has launched a new cordless tyre inflator. The RTC4000 has a digital autostop feature that will automatically stopinflating the tyre when the desired pressure is reached. The inbuilt memoryfunction allows you to store up to 4 tyre pressures in either PSI BAR orkPA. Should you have too much air in the tyre there is a deflator valve thatallows you to accurately achieve the pressure you require. Despite some initial challenges in deciphering the pictograms on the device, the RTC4000 was found to be incredibly accurate and straightforward to operate once the function was figured out. Although clearer instructions could improve the initial experience, it doesn't detract from the inflator's overall performance. The RTC4000 in Action RTC400 Digital Tyre Inflator. Able to inflate a tyre in 3.5 mins by selecting the pressure measurement you'd like and then pressing the on/off button. Shows pressure readings in kPA, PSI and bar. In the box you get the inflator as well as a carrying bag and a bottle cage attachment so you can carry it on your bike. The unit is charged via a standard USB cable that's supplied.
