Recommend me a tyre inflator (compressor attachment)

[otoh]

Hope this isn't a repost - other discussions I found were electric 12V compressors...

Looking for a tyre inflator - I currently have a cheap one (a la https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N75GPJC ) and it is, well, cheap - leaky, flaky, etc. Looking online I see fancy PCL ones for eg £60+ but I don't really use it enough (1 bike+1 car) to warrant spending that much.

Can anyone recommend something in between? (Ideally prefer the press on type as above vs the clip)

You know your asking for the impossible
I would bite the bullet and spend some good money on a good one at machine mart
You might be a dubious as you make the payment but when you start using it you wont regret it
The MM ones last for years

I've got a bog-standard Machine Mart one, and it just works.

For a few quid more, they do a different "head" on the same body, that sounds like it's more what you want.

Many thanks for the reply. I did see a few at MM - was unsure if the lower-end ones (eg Clarke branded) were good, or whether much the same as the one I had. Eg I see

The latter seems well regarded by TooMany2cvs below - unsure if the other one is worth it? I'll pay £60 for one if I need to - but if £20-30 does it without falling apart, all the better!

Thanks for the tip - looks good (or the latter one). How is the gauge? I tend not to trust them anyway and always check with a known good one, but it's a bonus if it's accurate!

Never noticed it being way out.
