My little cheapie air compressor that I use to inflate tyres etc has done what most cheap equipment does. Failed.
Does anyone here have a recommendation re a quality replacement that will last the distance. I use it mainly to top up car & bikes tyres etc occasionally.
My footpump (also a cheapie) also died so I am pumpless at the moment. I havent yet decided whether to go for a battery operated compressor or stick with a good foot/manual pump for reliability.
Any input experiences with these items gratefully received.
thanks in advance.
Note. Big motor bikes do not steer
well with just 20psi in the front tyre!!

My mate bought the genuine one and being a smartarse I thought I would get the cheapie.
His pumps quicker and doesn't get as hot as my cheap $$it no-name jobbie.
HOWEVER......that is pumping 4 large 4WD tyres from 18 to 38.
IF you just want to pump bike tyres and normal car tyres then the cheapie will do the job easy, and shouldn't be any drama..... BUT REMEMBER...
WISE OLD INDIAN SAYING... GOOD THING NO CHEAP
CHEAP THING NO GOOD
