AirMan Tour 52-074-011 Tyre Pump

I don't go around puncturing my tires an aweful lot, infact only once in my car.However, I carry this with me on my motorcycle, especially if I go touring. Pair this with a puncture repairkit for tubeless tires, this serves me with some good peace of mind.Its compact and functions well for the size. Everything but the little yellow lid for nozzle compartment are well built. The pressure-gauge is fairly accurate and will surely served you well if you need to fill a tire, hell, no gauge would still be fine, it's not critical if you get 25 psi or 35 psi if you just need to get to nearest fuelstation or maybe a repairshop.Sure you can have a "S.O.S"-type payment that can come assist you. But even then, I think it's nice to be able to get yourself going in maybe 1 hour? Instead of having to wait for maybe 6-8 hours on the side of the road, maybe in 30 degrees celcius (plus or minus :)Same reason I carry a small fuel/jerry-can with me. Also because if you travel with others, chances are higher that one person might run into a problem. I also think it's nice that if you meet a fellow biker on the side of the road, you can pull over and ask if they have a problem. And even before knowing what problem they might have, you know there is a high chance you might be able to help. Because running out of fuel and puncturing a tire are some of the most common reason to be stranded on the side of the road.I bought a simple 12v cigarette lighter outlet and mounted it straight to my battery. So I have easy access to an outlet on my motorcycle, should I need it.

Absolutely brilliant pump, I used to have a powerpack/compressor/inverted pack all in one but that gave up so I got this to go with one of the portable jump packs. This is so small it can be carried in your motorcycle luggage or in the car. It pumps up quicker than most pumps i'veused in the past and the wire is long enough to pump up each tyre in my car (a 5 door astra) from the centre console. Comes with a nice fabric carry case. the cable fits inside the pump although some of it does still poke out the bottom of it for some reason. The hose wraps round the top of the pump and is a bit short and fiddly sometimes for me especially being a screw on type adapter which I find lets a bit to much air out when I remove it so I over pump to compensate for this. There are also football and airbed adapters included. The gauge is analogue and not really detailed due to its size but good enough to estimate where your pumping up to so would suggest getting a calibrated tyre pressure gauge to double check.

I think it fair to say this is a decent device - and if I'd read more carefully the questions and answers I'd not have bought this one (as I have a similar device that I bought at Tesco for less and is about the same size). I bought this as it has a duel fitment for sockets, DIN and standard. I recently bought a BMW Motorbike which is fitted with a DIN socket, but as others have stated, on starting the pump it trips the socket (to much power drawn). So I fitted an auxiliary socket directly wired to the bikes battery and that works just fine, but it rather removes the advantage of connecting to the fitted DIN socket. So buy a cheaper pump and spend the extra on a standard socket fitting would be my advice, but as I started - there is nothing at all wrong with this pump and brief testing shows it works. Luckily I didn't have to use it in anger on the road trip I bought it for (no punctures). In terms of suitability, this is a compact device in a nice carry bag that is light and doesn't take up much storage room.

Great pump. Works on my motorcycle as well as the car.

The tyre pump is well designed, robust, and the cable and inflation tube pack neatly into the case. There are also a selection of accessories suitable for other applications stored under a flap on the top of the device. The inflation tube has a screw on valve connector, rather than the clip on type, and the pressure gauge is accurate. It comes with a handy draw string bag ideal for storage.

I purchased this as it's compact for my motorcycle, I plugged it into my 12k auxiliary socket and it blew the fuse, my mechanic has told me it's faulty as it should not blow the fuse, however it works on our car. Don't buy this for motorcycle usage.

Yes, it helped pump my car tyre up, and reasonably quickly - but the gauge is SO inaccurate you might as well tape over it. Could have caused some serious damage if I believed what it said and just carried out pumping air into my car tyre. It was at least 5 PSI out.Very noisy, but it does say that on the box so not marking down because of that.Would I recommend it? Sure... but use your own tyre pressure checker.

I have used a Slime compressor on my bike for a few years and have been quite happy with it but upgraded to this as it has a small pressure gauge built in.Very pleased with the purchase. It is much easier to attach to the tyre valve than the Slime and unlike the Slime does not dump most of the air pumped in when the valve is removed.It is a lot quieter and faster and the gauge is a lot better than expected. It has some damping so the needle does not jump about while inflating and when I compare the reading with the bike's on board sensor and an expensive digital gauge it is very accurate. To finish off the ability to store the cable and air hose is better than the Slime as well.Another post has given it one star, said it failed after an hour and was useless. Well the instructions (in common with most electric pumps) clearly state the maximum use time is 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes cooling. This is more than enough to inflate the tyres on a motorcycle. Also the other poster was using it to inflate (from memory) a kid's pool. This is a COMPRESSOR which takes small amounts of air and provides high compression and is the wrong tool for inflating air beds, kid's pools, mattresses and similar. They need BLOWERS which take large amounts of air and provide low compression. For the job it's designed for this is perfect.
