About this deal

This is definitely a top-of-the-range item, but if you’re the sort of person who regularly uses an air compressor then the RTC1000 is well worth a look. Although, if you're looking for something cheaper, the RTC200 is another of Ring's inflators in the new range - but it sits at less of a premium price. Ring Automotive: a heavyweight in the automotive aftermarket world. Like Sealey, Ring Automotive caters to the wider public and specialists with a wide product range that includes car light bulbs, battery chargers, inspection lamps and many other things besides. Smart storage case allows you to charge the inflator whilst still in the bag, with storage for cable The Sealey is a good little tool but a bit expensive to justify, especially compared to the performance of the Worx and the value of the Ring. First place: Ring Automotive RTC2000 The unit is small enough to keep in your boot and comes with its own case to keep the dirt out of your car. The 12v connector can be neatly wound away on a spindle, saving the normal tangle you get yourself into. The 3.5m lead isn’t perhaps as long as some on the market but can do the job of reaching the tyre furthest away from the in-car power supply.

Despite its handy size, the Ring Handheld has a lot of functions that you more commonly find on the larger types of tyre inflators. The RTC200 comes in a box that's barely bigger than the tyre inflator, which also includes a user manual. The main feature on the tyre inflator is the circular analogue dial, which displays pressure in PSI, bar, KPA and kg/cm2. The large on/off button sitting at the bottom of the device makes starting it with your foot a doddle. The Ring is the best value and great in most scenarios. Its decent battery capacity makes it a great emergency power bank too. The RTC2000 is ideal for cars, motorbikes, bikes, scooters and other inflatables and can top up a car tyre in under 3 mins and a bike tyre from flat in under 2 mins. A digital autostop feature automatically stops the inflation process once the desired pressue is reached meaning you don’t need to worry about over inflation. As if all these features weren’t enough, the Ring Handheld tyre inflator can act as a powerbank, coming as it does with a USB charging port and micro USB cable so you can charge mobile devices and laptops.The cable and air line are neatly stored within the inflator, while the three attachments for bikes, air beds and other inflatables are clipped into place near the 12v wire. Like most simple tyre inflators, there's no set up required with the RTC200; it's simply a case of plugging the 12v end into your car's cigarette lighter and attaching the compressor nozzle to the tyre's valve. The RTC2000 is ideal for cars, motorbikes, bikes, scooters and other inflatables and can top up a car tyre in under 3 mins and a bike tyre from flat in under 2 mins. A digital autostop feature automatically stops the inflation process once the desired pressue is reached meaning you don't need to worry about over inflation. Includes storage compartment for tyre valve caps when in use. Shows pressure readings in kPA, bar and PSI. Once the desired pressure is reached, the inflator automatically stops. The most common units – psi – have one decimal place on the display, but it will only show in increments of 0.5. 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.

If you’re wanting a tyre inflator that can cope with any domestic task from fully inflating rugby balls to car tyres, the Worx is the best of the three. Though it is the most expensive and becomes quite an investment if you need the battery and charger kit. That being said, it gives you access to the excellent world of Worx PowerShare. Ring's RTC2000 Rechargeable Handheld Tyre Inflator is a compact, lightweight, hand-held solution to inflating tyres on the go. 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. The Ring RTC2000 Cordless Handheld Tyre Inflator is a small rechargeable tyre inflator that's designed for topping up car tyres and inflating bicycle tyres, footballs (and the like) and even inflatables. It's light in weight (at roughly 500g) and comes with a two piece adaptor kit for sports equipment and Presta bike valves. There's an LED light and it also acts as a powerbank function if need be.Even when you have filtered products in line with our advice above, you are still presented with a large range of candidates, with the playing field being far from level. To help you along, we’ve gathered three small tyre inflators from reputable brands and tested them against one another to establish a winner. The instructions say to wait 15 minutes after 15 minutes of use; after this run the pump’s body felt only slightly warm to touch, but taking it apart I found the motor was extremely hot, so I really would give it a break between long runs; it’s not designed to compete with an industrial compressor so be sensible. Turn your car on and hey presto, you're ready to go. The Ring RTC200 inflates a 13-inch tyre from flat to 35PSI in less than 4.5 minutes. The air hose does the job well enough and looks reasonably sturdy, but it's a bit shorter than we'd like at 50cm. The power cable is usefully long (3m), though, so it's not a big issue. A full charge from completely flat took about three and a quarter hours via the supplied micro-USB cable. I’d have liked to have seen this a USB-C given the popularity of this connector now, but it’s not the end of the world. Quite possibly the ultimate in lightweight and compact tyre inflators, this handheld inflator weighs just 0.55kg and measures 17.3cm by 6.8cm by 6.8cm.
