That's a joke.
I can't see it coping with a deflated Disco tyre.
As the advertisement says Quote:Inflate your ...... Toys, Sporting equipment
Don't waste your money.
Or if you want a laugh ask the seller to confirm that it can inflate a Discovery tyre to 45 psi, and then try it.

Good man Gary.
A volunteer is worth 10 pressed men.
Do ask the critical question first if you can, if not then I will.

A bit cheeky abuse of boyles law to get 300psi It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

Had a few of these, a friend off mine imports them in from China. Along with other stuff and does direct promotions round petrol stations with them.
One worked for a few years maybe used about 10 times and the other 2 just fell to bits, they vibrate that much that they fall to pieces.
Some of the older Lexus used to have a full alloy bodied compressor as part of the tool kit, had one loaned it to somebody never got it back. Gary don't be holding out to much faith in this contraption doing much work once they gets to about 20 psi if it ever does. It gets that warm you would think that it was going to go on fire, the plug for the 12v socket is made of some plastic that is of the quality of the kids barbies. It also gets roasting warm, but good luck with it and be sure to let us know how she performs on its 1st outing.

I bought one to inflate a double camping mattress. It took ages to inflate suggesting that the out put was way below the forecast.

Do have a fire extinguisher, heat proof gloves & a camera to hand when you try to inflate a deflated Disco tyre to 45 psi, or a little more.
Follow the instructions though; it may say stop & rest when it gets warm!

I carry one from a Merc SLK which is brilliant but expensive and usually sell on ebay from £100-£150!

A few of us bought a 12v pump a year or so ago, I used it last Saturday for the first time, it's stored under the bonnet in the spare battery box, anyone know how to find the thread on it?
I will have another search, but fantastic bit of kit

Excellent, I'm so looking forward to my new purchase arriving now. It seems it may have multiple uses too, including getting a camp fire started, so for £5 it's a real bargain. Will post back how I get on, if it seems to top the pressures up, I will then gamble and take 10 psi or so out of one of the tyres and see if it blows it back up again. I may do ths experiment on a garage forecourt where I have a backup !
