Reasonably quiet and barely got warm when topping up car tyres and really quick inflation.

The guage is cheap and nasty, I'd recommend a digital gauge to check pressures, that said you can easily connect a different gauge or different attachments. compared to warn spc or viair etc it is better value and still inflates quicker.

Thanks for that I got me eyes on a air pump, I think I know which one i'll be going for now.

Bag looks as if it will last more than 5 mins and the pump finish and engraved label-hint of not doing cheapest of the cheap.

Fact it mentions hard mounting and using air tank and blowback valve.
Instructions say 40 mins on 20 min off duty cycle-hints that it should last years with reasonable use.

I considered a twin cylinder model-but found reports of repeated failures and switch issues (unsure of brand as various clones)

Be aware there is a standard and HD model-I bought Heavy Duty model.

have one rattleing around in my battery box for the last 3 years I removed the handle and extended the quick release air line to the outside of the box, then removed the switch and extended it into the mudstuff dash. It is effectively hardwired in now.

been used to inflate all 4 tyres after deflating and topping up spare/trailer tyres etc.

very good piece of kit.

Should be £1.95 refund as I sent gauge back and was sent replacement.
But he refunded the total - I'll see how long it takes for him to realise.
