Ring Automotive RTC4000 cordless tyre inflator air compressor car pump. Rechargeable, auto stop, LED light, digital screen, memory function, case and adaptor kit

Product Information

I’ve used it to top up car and motorbike pressures and once to seat a stubborn tubeless tyre on a mountain bike. I like the screw-on fittings and long hose but generally think a digital gauge is easier to use than an analogue one. It’s a hefty bit of kit, but super speedy and surprisingly quiet.

RTC400 Digital Tyre Inflator. Able to inflate a tyre in 3.5 mins by selecting the pressure measurement you'd like and then pressing the on/off button. Shows pressure readings in kPA, PSI and bar. Complete with three adaptors - a Presta valve adaptor for road bikes, a sports ball adaptor, and a leisure adaptor for small inflatables, the Ring RTC4000 Tyre Inflator proves its versatility and utility for a range of inflation tasks. This cordless tyre inflator is not only effective in managing and maintaining tyre pressures but also proves to be a reassuring presence in the vehicle for emergencies. The RTC4000 is not just an inflator but also a smart tyre pressure management system. The digital auto-stop feature ensures the inflator ceases once the set pressure is achieved, while the integrated memory function can store up to four tyre pressures in PSI, BAR or kPA. In case of overinflation, a deflator valve is incorporated for precise pressure adjustments. Adaptability and Convenience Users will also appreciate the thoughtful design elements, including a potent built-in LED light to illuminate the wheel valve in poorly lit conditions, which can also serve as an emergency light. Furthermore, the RTC4000 comes in a smart storage case, which cleverly allows the inflator to charge while safely nestled inside. The inflator's compact size and lightweight design make it easy to transport, making it an excellent companion for motorcyclists and cyclists. The RTC4000 has a digital autostop feature that will automatically stopinflating the tyre when the desired pressure is reached. The inbuilt memoryfunction allows you to store up to 4 tyre pressures in either PSI BAR orkPA. Should you have too much air in the tyre there is a deflator valve thatallows you to accurately achieve the pressure you require.

Specifications

As it stands though I’m more likely to reach for my more convenient battery-powered pump when it comes to squeezing a few extra PSI into my tyres. If you want to be equipped for every flat tyre eventuality, the VonHaus Cordless Tyre Inflator has you covered. It will run for up to ten minutes from the supplied 1.5A lithium-ion battery, but if you forget to charge it you can always switch to the bundled 12V adaptor, which comes with an unusually generous 3.5m cable. It has a small, but still readable, digital pressure meter. And you can just set your desired pressure, pull the trigger and let it go to work: it will stop when it reaches the right level.

The pressure is usually shown in two formats: bar and psi. There are typically two sets of these. The lowest is for normal use, but you may well see another set of higher pressures for when the car is heavily loaded, increasing the weight that’s pushing down on the tyres.Each of the inflators tested here has a gauge that gives you an instant readout that lets you know whether the tyre needs pumping. To use them, simply remove the dust cap from the valve on the tyre and push the end of the air hose over it, before pressing or releasing any catch to clamp it in place. Petrol station tyre inflators have pressure gauges, too, but these aren’t always accurate so it’s best to test using your own equipment. The RTC4000, freed from the confines of cumbersome wires, allows the user to navigate around their vehicle with absolute ease. Its cordless design eliminates the issue of untangling wires or needing to adjust the unit to reach the other side of the vehicle. With the power and performance akin to a traditional Ring tyre inflator, the RTC4000 truly shines with its unhindered mobility. Compact and Practical Size is probably the most important thing. The smallest inflators are around 20 x 20cm, so you can leave them in your car without losing too much luggage space. The best don’t skimp on the length of the power lead and air hose, which makes it easier to reach all four valves. Most can be preset to stop inflating when your tyre reaches the correct pressure. To complement its cordless tyre inflator range, lighting and accessory giant, Ring, has introduced the RTC4000 to fill a gap in the market for a compact, yet powerful and high quality cordless tyre inflator for cars and motorbikes.

With drivers at the forefront of the development process, Ring has launched a new cordless tyre inflator. Naturally, tools such as these need to be as convenient as possible, and as space can be limited in cars, and especially with motorbikes, Ring has ensured that this tyre inflator is as compact as it can be, which also means it’s light, so it’s easy to move around the vehicle and top up the tyres. Additionally, there are multiple LED lights on the tool, so inflating tyres can be done at any time. Other than road rescuers, this would suit camping and caravanning supremely well, where you’ve got a bit of extra space to carry it and perhaps a leisure battery to hook it up to. Ring could extend its usefulness by offering this pump with a couple of different power leads though. If it was easy enough to fit a three-pin plug for example, I’d happily leave this handy unit set up in my garage. Comes with a 3-piece adaptor kit for small inflatables such as sportsequipment and Presta bike valves. Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below.Smart storage case allows you to charge the inflator whilst still in the bag; with storage for cable
