I. Which type of car tire inflator is best?
1.First, check if the air pump comes with complete accessories.
Currently, high-quality car tire inflators on the market, in addition to the main air pump unit, also come with many other practical accessories depending on the user’s needs. These accessories provide additional assistance when inflating tires, such as a flashlight or light for illumination, various types of inflation nozzles and hoses for different car models, and some even include repair tools. These are all things you should check when making your purchase.
2.Next, choose according to your car model and needs.
Currently, car tire inflators can be divided into two types: single-cylinder and double-cylinder. Single-cylinder car tire inflators generally have the disadvantage of insufficient air pressure, longer inflation time, and difficulty inflating larger vehicles, but they are also cheaper. Double-cylinder inflators, although slightly more expensive, have sufficient air pressure and inflate quickly. They work perfectly for ordinary family cars, large commercial vehicles, and SUVs. If your budget allows, it’s recommended to buy a double-cylinder car tire inflator.
3. Also, pay attention to the accuracy of the tire pressure gauge.
To ensure accurate and stable data during inflation, the accuracy of the tire pressure gauge is crucial. Older tire pressure gauges used a separate gauge and pump design, resulting in poor data accuracy. Most current tire pressure gauges use an integrated design, which prevents the gauge from being impacted or loosened, thus avoiding inaccurate measurements.
4.Finally, consider the functions of the car tire inflator.
Currently, there are two common types of car air pumps on the market. One type is solely for inflating tires, while the other combines the functions of a car vacuum cleaner and an air pump. Naturally, the dual-function car air pump is more expensive than the single-function one. You can choose based on your needs. If you mainly use it for inflating tires, there’s no need to spend more money on a dual-function car air pump.
II. How to use a portable car tire inflator
- Align the air pump nozzle with the tire valve and tighten the nozzle clockwise.
- Insert the 12V cigarette lighter plug into the car’s cigarette lighter socket.
- Switch the product to the “on” position to start operation. Once the tire reaches the specified pressure, switch the device to the “off” position.
- Unscrew the air pump nozzle counterclockwise and unplug the cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarette lighter socket.
- Store the power cord and rubber air hose properly.
