What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history. The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing. Cordless inflator suitable for inflating bicycle and vehicle tyres, sports balls and leisure equipment. Powered by an 18V Li-ion LXT slide-type battery to deliver up to 12Ltr per minute air discharge and 830kPa maximum air pressure. Equipped with digital air pressure gauge, LED job light and auto-stop function at pre-set target pressures. Features auto-off function to prevent accidental start-up during transportation and protection from over-heating. Thermostat activated to protect the inflator when the pump temperature increases and memory function to remember the last pressure settings. Supplied with valve adaptors and built-in adaptor storage. Battery protection circuit protects the battery from damages due to overheating, over-discharge and overload current. Not compatible with G-Series batteries.

The best tyre inflators you can buy in 2023

Pinpoint pressure inflation: the pump allows you to pre-set a desired target pressure. The automatic switch-off stops inflation process just as this target value is achieved. An illuminated pressure gauge shows you the pressure readings in an easy-to-read manner, which is especially convenient in low-light conditions. After inflation, all accessories and the hose can be stored in the storage compartment directly on the front of the tool. 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.

integrated accessory storage holds the most common attachments (ball needle, Sclaverand valve attachment, balloon attachment) neatly stowed in a single compartment It's the stuff that makes mechatronics happy, no matter if it' s a work light, an angle grinder, a hot air blower or an industrial hoover. Anyone who hates pumping up tyres, but doesn't have to do it multiple times per hour. It'd be perfect for e-bike commuters: you won't get sweaty pumping up a tyre after a puncture and you've got the spare power to carry the extra weight that a fully acoustic rider might begrudge. Verdict The integrated accessory storage holds a selection of the most common adaptors (ball needle, French valve adaptor, balloon adaptor), neatly stored in one compartment.built-in LED light facilitates operation in low-light conditions, illuminated valve area and battery status indicator Some inflators have 12V ports so they can effectively be used as an extension lead that connects other accessories to your car’s power. If your car isn’t fitted with a USB port, it’s useful to have a tyre inflator with this feature so that you can charge a tablet or smartphone on the road. If you need to pump up a tyre in the dark, there's a tiny white LED next to the hose so you can see what you're doing. So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however. Warranty claims: Call Bosch direct to arrange warranty repair Tel: 0344 736 0109 or use the online collection service

c) If there were no goods supplied 30 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract Bosch's clean and bright display design makes for easy reading of the screen, even in broad daylight. Always showing the current as well as the target value, the display lets users keep an eye on the data. 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.

It's a bit odd to me that the big red button turns the device on and off; that's a colour more usually associated with emergency cut-off in electrical equipment. If you were going to follow IEC60204-1 recommendations, you'd perhaps make that button white and use green for the button that starts the air flowing. Speed If the tool is faulty within 30 days of buying it, we will arrange for its collection at no cost to you and supply a replacement. Robert Bosch founded his factory for precision mechanics and electrical engineering in Stuttgart in 1886. Today, Bosch is a global company and is one of the firms that have decisively shaped the concept of quality "made in Germany". The Swabian claim "we can do everything except speak German" could have been invented by Bosch. In any case, there is hardly anything that Bosch doesn't invent and optimise. For example, the electric tools for use around the motorbike. They are available in two product lines, depending on the requirements, which can be recognised by the colours of the housings: 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. Same comments apply as with the Makita inflator: someone at these huge, technically clever companies can surely come up with a better system than screw-on brass adapters.

Small tool, big performance: the EasyPump is Bosch's intuitive air pump for all applications of up to 10.3 bar. The unit's real-time measurement and the pre-select function supports convenient and precise inflation results. The pump features a clear interface and a roomy display, readable during daylight. Its compact and lightweight design makes it an ideal companion to take along. Equipped with various adapters, neatly stored in the storage compartment, the EasyPump can inflate all sorts of tyres (e.g., car, bike), balls (e.g., footballs), and even small water sports articles. Inflating has never been easier.

Integrated above the hose, Bosch's bright LED light makes sure the valve area is always illuminated. the device is part of the POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE from Bosch. A single battery can power a variety of devices from a wide range of brands. The premium hose has textile cover and a threaded metal coupler, small enough to also reach valves in narrow spaces. The attachable 24-cm hose is rotatable 360°. Larger inflators include rechargeable batteries, which make them completely portable. These are a better option if you want to pump up, say, bicycle tyres, without having to wheel the bike next to your car. You may also need a larger inflator for tyres that need higher-than-average pressures, such as a larger van or campervan. What about extras?
