TOMCAT Mini Air Compressor
madmax Wed 16 Oct 2013, 12:22 pm
I bought a Tomcat Mini Air Compressor on ebay for $29 delivered.
ebay link
I thought it best to give it a try before taking it to Cowra in November.
So today I flatten the rear tyre and re-inflated it using the Tomcat.
This is a small unit so I wasn't expecting it to break and speed records in inflating.Taking just under 10mins to inflate the rear tyre to 42psi.
The unit has a built in light to help you out at night. However the is no light in the gauge so your going to need a torch anyway.
The power cable has both alligator clips and an cigarette lighter style plug.
Comes complete with carry pouch
And will fit comfortably in the space behind the seat lock

Just bought one aswell, hope your on a commission Madmax. For $29 you can't afford not to have one.

Got the same one a few weeks ago, did the same and deflated and inflated rear tyre in around 10 mins. Its a pretty compact lightweight unit.

Just spoke to the Purchasing Officer and her reply was "yeah nah they don't ship out of AU but I'm sure I mentioned that!!!
(edit- apparently my fault for not listening)
Said Purchasing Officer has recovered by say she will get shipped to her folks place in AU and uplift in Dec.
Mr Kewwig would you like me to double the order?

When I tested my Tomcat I checked the pressure with my compressor tyre inflator gauge and it was the same.Jimcoleman wrote:how accurate is the Pressure Gauge

Used mine before the trip just to check all 5 (actually six as I was carring a spare for the trailer) tyres.
