RING Automotive RAC630 12V Automatic Digital Compressor with LED Light

Seeing as my old cheapo tyre compressor was on it's last legs it was time to look for another, reading the good reviews on here I opted for this one by Ring and have not been disappointed. This compressor is easy to use, basically plug it into you accessory socket or cigarette light as they used to be known, attach the compressor to the tyre valve, switch it on, set the pressure needed and away it goes, it stops once the correct pressure is reached. You can set the required pressure in PSI, bar or Kpa, this compressor is very quick compared to the other one I had and is not overly noisy. There is also an LED light that can be used as a torch or flash mode. Ring have supplied this compressor with adaptors for bike tyres and a ball needle, it also come with a bag for storage in the boot. Since this purchased I have bought another one of this compressor for my father, he also loves it. Why mess around at the garage (and pay for the privilege) when this simple and easy solution is available.

Forget any other brand for aircompressors, I was tempted between this and the more expensive Micheline models, but opted for this due to its small size, and handy, neat carry bag. I'm very particuar about my tyre pressure, I check it every week with a seperate pressure gague, and usually top up my air every 2/3 weeks. It works very well with any measurement, PSi, BAR and KG/CM. I prefer BAR, my my Dad borrows it, and he like PSi. Display is back light, so night time reading is easy. Auto cut off is excellent, just set your desired pressure and you're off, you can do something else like dip your oil as the tyre inflates. Takes up no space in the boot. The tyre delate option is really good too, and you can deflate to an accurate level are the pressure gague on the compressor updates as your deflate. I have this unit for over a year now, as mentioned above, I use it fairly regularly on 2 cars, and it's working just as well as the day I bought it. My only cons would be the LED light, it's not particularly great.....it's actually fairly useless. I've a Led Lenser P7 and a Petzl Headtorch in the car at all times anyway, so the light isn't a big feature for me. But it's something to bear in mind if you are buying this compressor with the intention or relying on the provided light. It's only good enough to find your dust caps. I found the valve connector a little bit fiddley and plastiky, unscrewing it from the tyre valve could be smoother, you do loose air, but I'm nearly certain the compressor gives a little extra air to compensate. When I check the typres with my other gague, the readings are at the desired level. Once you get the hang of it, you can minimise the air loss(as I unscrew the hose from the valve, I usually press the hose into the valve as I unscrew it, and this minimises air loss for me anyway. As connecting the hose to the valve can be a little combersom, I'd encourage people to use a seperate pressure gague for their regular checks, and use the compressor strictly for inflating It's a great unit, and something every driver should own! Ring owe me some commision at this stage, at least 5/6 friends & collegues have bought this unit after seeing it in action. At work, when ever anyone has a flat, I'm known as the 'guy with the pump' so it gives you a good oppotunity to rescue damzels in distress!

I've had this compressor for nearly 6 months, having bought it to replace my Halfords Power Pack 100 which started to cut out due to overheating and had a very poor analogue dial which was hard to read accurately. Having read all the reviews I chose this Ring RAC630, which was £20 at the time. It has been used a fair amount as one of our cars which is only used a couple of times a month has 2 leaky alloys (garage couldn't find a puncture). It does the job very well. You set the required pressure and then leave it to it until it cuts out. It will inflate from flat in a few minutes. I have found that the measured pressure then drops by about 0.5 to 1 psi after it cuts out, so it needs a short second burst to reach the correct pressure and stay there. The digital readout means I can get consistency across all 5 tyres. I can't comment on its accuracy. It has a useful torch for doing all this in the dark! It is a little noisy, but less than my old Halfords one, and it does wander around despite its rubber feet. For some reason it didn't work when I connected it to the 12v utility socket in the boot of my wife's CR-V. It sounded like it was dying, but when I plugged it back into the cigarette lighter it was fine. I have two main grumbles with it. Firstly, the power cord is too short to reach the spare tyre in the boot. My main car is a saloon so I can't pass the cable through the car. Either I have to perch the unit precariously on the rear wing, or get someone to hold it. Secondly, the cable tidy is very basic. It has to be wrapped around the base and then Velcro-ed in place. Having said all that, I would definitely recommend it.

Perfetto, funziona tutto ed è anche più piccolo e bello di quel che sembra. Poi con il suo astuccio è anche pratico da riporre nel bagagliaio.

Certes le manomètre digital a peut-être un léger différentiel avec la valeur "officielle", j'ai constaté 0,2 bars avec le mien, mais cela reste à vérifier il reste cependant fiable, même si l'embout à visser est moins pratique qu'un de type Michelin, automatique. J'ai eu une micro crevaison sur une roue des mois durant. C'est ainsi que régulièrement sans passer par la station service, je me suis servi de ce compresseur, jusqu'à ce que je me décide à faire réparer cette fuite. Il m'a bien dépanné, et il est toujours dans le coffre de la voiture, et ne prend pas de place. Il est indispensable pour les longs trajets, car la pression des pneus est une question de sécurité à ne pas négliger. Cela évite l'attente aux stations où le compresseur n'est pas toujours disponible, ou HS. C'est un bon produit, et la fonction éclairage et très utile. Un conseil: sortir complètement le tuyau de gonflage de son rangement sinon il se comprime, et la pression est faussée. Satisfait.

El compresor funciona muy bien, me ha sorprendido lo rápido que es capaz de inflar los neumáticos incluso a altas presiones. Subir 1 kg de presión no suponer más de 10 ó 15 segundo, y cuenta con válvula de desinflado. Tiene un tamaño bastante contenido y la bolsa de transporte que lo protege lo hace ideal para llevarlo en el maletero del coche o transportarlo. Yo lo utilizo para el coche, la moto y las bicicletas, pero tiene accesorios para inflar balones o colchonetas y desde que lo tengo no me da tanta pereza dar un repaso de vez en cuando a los neumáticos. El indicador digital de presión es muy preciso, tengo varios manómetros y he comprobado que lo que indica es real, por lo que no necesitas andar comprobando presiones después de su uso. Además, se puede poner la presión deseada y el solo se para automáticamente cuando llega al valor establecido. Como punto negativo está que la boca se ajusta a rosca y a la hora de quitarla siempre se pierde algo de aire y hay que intentar hacerlo rápido o apretar con la otra mano para no perder la presión. No sé cuanto durará, pero por el momento (lo tengo desde hace casi un año) me parece una muy buena compra por un precio bastante ajustado.

Ich habe mir diesen Kompressor gekauft, um im Winter den Luftdruck in den Reifen meines Rollers zu regulieren. Bei niedrigen Temperaturen sind die Luftteile an den Tankstellen alles andere als zuverlässig. D. h. ich stecke den Kompressor am 12V-Anschluß im Kofferraum meines Autos an, stelle den Roller bündig an den Kofferraum und befülle die Reifen. Daher habe ich kein Problem mit der Länge des Luftschlauchs, da das Netzkabel ausreichend lang ist, so dass ich den Kompressor direkt neben dem Roller platzieren kann. Die Bedienung geht, wenn man die Bedienungsanleitung (die nur aus Bildern besteht) verinnerlicht hat, gut von der Hand. Luftschlauch auf das Ventil schrauben. Dabei entweicht etwas Luft (hat auch schon ein Rezensent geschrieben). Dafür sitzt der Schlauch wirklich bombenfest auf dem Ventil. Im Display wird dann der aktuelle Druck angezeigt. Dann den gewünschten Luftdruck einstellen, Taste drücken und los gehts. Der Kompressor schaltet beim Erreichen den gewählten Druckes ab. Ich finde den Kompressor ein bisschen laut, aber in der Tiefgarage stört das niemanden. Wenn man das Gerät in der mitgelieferten Tasche verstaut, nimmt er wirklich wenig Platz weg. Ist erstaunlich klein.
