RING TYREINFLATE 610 Analogue Tyre Inflator with Adaptor Kit - Results in PSI & BAR

Reliable and easy to use! The Ring TyreInflate 610 delivers accurate pressure readings with its large, clear dial. It’s ruggedly built, connects securely to the tyre valve, and inflates quickly with minimal effort. A great tool to keep in your garage or car for routine tyre upkeep.

I bought this when my (Halfords) two barrel manual foot pump for the car broke after a year or so and the replacement single barrel (Michelin) one never even worked! I still like having a manual pump (I have now have an very cheap discount store single barrel one and so far so good) but having had to rely on a neighbour seeing me struggle and fetching their compressor I realised that I needed both.I did a bit of research beforehand and chose this make as a manufacturer of decent compressors at a fair price. Some of the branded or automotive organisation tie-in ones are stupidly priced and yet offer nothing more really.This is a simple model but that fits my needs. It stores away neatly and now lives on the boot of the car with the manual pump and tyre pressure gauge.PROS:At just under £12 this is very good value in my opinion.It works! Not had to use in anger so far (thankfully) just topping up the pressure but it's okay for that.Stores away neatly.CONS:nothing really - I know others have questioned it accuracy but I still use a manual gauge to verify the tyre pressures.Long-term reliability is a matter of wait and see I guess, but if manual pumps are anything to go by then big brands and more expensive pumps (or compressors) do not necessarily equate to better reliability and if I am going to have to buy twice I would rather pay less for the privilege.OVERALL:I can only comment in respect of my own fairly low usage, but I have found this compressor pump to work okay and be a neat, small and easy to store package. I tend to use it as a back-up to manual pump being old-school but I am pleased to have it there for that purpose juts in case. I can recommend it, albeit somewhat cautiously, as I know that others will use theirs much more often and thus will be testing it more thoroughly.

I purchased (2013) the Ring Automotive RAC610 12V Analogue Tyre Inflator, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance for the price.Setup was simple — just plug it into your car’s 12V socket, screw the valve connector onto your tyre, and flip the switch. It inflated my car tyre from 20 PSI to 32 PSI in just under 4 minutes, which is impressive for such a compact device. The analogue pressure gauge is clear and surprisingly accurate, and the included air hose and power cable are long enough to reach all four tyres comfortably on a medium-sized car.What I especially like is its lightweight and portable design. It fits easily in my glove box, making it ideal for emergency situations or regular pressure checks. It’s a no-frills inflator, but it gets the job done efficiently and reliably. The build quality feels solid for the price range.Sure, it’s not the quietest inflator on the market, and being analogue, it doesn’t have digital presets or auto shut-off — but if you’re looking for a budget-friendly, dependable inflator for occasional use, the RAC610 is a fantastic choice.Highly recommended for everyday drivers and as a backup for roadside emergencies

A compact but functional item. Easy gauge to read and very quick to inflate tyres. So impressed I bought a second one for my son.

More powerful than my last pressure machine. Has the different fittings for ball and tyre. Pressure guage is not digital but an accurate. Easy to use and store

[UPDATE 6 Nov 2020. Unless there is a problem, this will be my final update as the pump is now more than a year old. The latest lockdown prompted me to check the tyre pressures. All of them had lost a few pounds so I used the pump again. All was well and the pump was used to restore the pressure on all eight tyres without missing a beat. If it wasn't so noisy and fiddly to attach to the valve, I would give it 5 stars][UPDATE 12 Jan 2020. I tried the pump again today. Although none of tyres really needed to be 'topped up', I decided to pump them up a bit anyway. The pump worked fine and is now three months old. I will check again in 3 to 6 months. Original review and updates follow...][Update 15 Dec 2019. I tried the pump again today. Even though they didn't really need it, I decided to add a couple of PSI to each of the tyres on both cars. The pump worked fine. I would say it took about 1 min to add 2 PSI. Original review follows...][UPDATE 31 Oct 2019. I checked the tyres on the other car today and they all needed 'pumping up'. The front tyres needed about 10PSI each which took about 3 min per wheel. The pump worked flawlessly.Original review follows...]Every few months, I like to check the tyre pressures on the cars. That is all well and good but what do you do when one of the tyres has actually got a bit low and needs pumping up? I used to use a foot pump but recently came to the conclusion that this was far too much effort and takes too long when an electric pump would do the same job in a fraction of the time. The only trouble was that pumps provided with the cars are usually hidden away in a compartment in the boot and it is a bit bit of a 'faff' getting them out and putting them away afterwards.My solution was to buy a pump that I could keep in the garage and would be easy to get out, use and put away.I didn't want to spend too much on something that was really just a testament to my laziness but after reading several reviews on several devices, I decided to try the Ring RAC 610.Because it screws on to the tyre valve, it is a bit fiddly to attach and it does need to be quite tight to stop any air escaping. When in use, it did also strike me as quite noisy - not pneumatic drill levels but it would be very difficult to have a conversation while it is going. Fortunately, it only took about a minute or so to add about 4 PSI (which would have taken about 10 minutes with my old foot pump).The gauge did not seem particularly accurate - it was showing about 30PSI when my other gauges were showing 34. However as I always double check the pressures with a second gauge, this wasn't a particular issue for me but I wouldn't rely on the built in gauge if it is your only way of checking the pressure.All in all, in spite of the above, I still think this is a good pump for the money. My main concern is that some of the other reviewers have said that their pumps stopped working after a few uses. So, I will try to make an effort to use it every month over the winter and then update this review.In the meantime, I think 4 stars is a fair rating
