      Quality product

      Easy to use and accurate. Also being able to coil the leads makes it easy to store in the original box. Overall a good product.

      Worth the investment!

      Got sick and tired driving from one petrol station to another looking for a working air pump since they always seem to be down! Bought this to do it myself at home, very easy to do and will pay itself off in no time. Particularly good for before long road trips to improve car efficiency!

      So easy to use, it's brilliant.

      This product is so easy to use that footpumps and gauges become redundant.

      A great pump let down by such a small yet rather important thing...

      The pump is great, they've really thought about the features and ease of use: pre-set pressure with auto-stop; a long, wind-up power cord; built in light; large, clear display; big "Start" button; long, braided airline with a built-in deflator; a screw-on attachment instead of those flaky push-on things.

      But oh dear, oh dear. That power plug...

      The only explanation for sticking this monstrosity on the end of a wire is to physically prevent you from plugging it in. I've never seen a plug like it -- sprung (I use the word in the loosest sense) on one side only with a piece of rebar whose only job is to stop you from inserting it into the 12v socket. I pushed my socket through the centre console trying to put it in, so their design was a success. It’s the best electrical safety device ever.

      When faced with silly engineering like this, there is only one thing to do -- take it to bits and hit it with hammers. The side “spring” is constrained by the casing so has no hope of moving more than a hair’s breadth. The end contact presses on the fuse which in turn presses on a piece of axel spring from an HGV. After an hour with a vice, a lump hammer, a MIG welder, cheap cider and plenty of ultra-violence I had tamed these immovable hunks of metal into something that had some give in them. Whereupon I plugged it in an found that I had bought something good.

      Other than that, I've no real issues. Mine reads maybe 2 psi less than a calibrated gauge, but it's easy enough to set the target 2psi higher if that’s the case.

      Overall, the Ring RTC1000 has got some great features; it’s quieter and much faster than pumps I’ve had in the past; and I really like the target pressure feature. But oh dear, that plug…

      Not heavy duty and melts the fuse at 50psi

      I bought this specifically to inflate the tyres on my vans. When I took one to 52psi I noticed that the 12v plug had become dangerously warm. On the next use, it blew the in-built fuse.There was a spare fuse with the product, and I assumed it was the van accessory socket that caused an overload.I used the inflator on a different van next time and this also overheated and blew the plug fuse at 50psi.I'm really disappointed as I thought this was a well designed product but just it's just not up the the job!

      Works very well

      Arrived promptly and exactly as described. Very easy to use with a screw connection to the valve. Very pleased with the purchase.

      Fast and accurate

      Very fast tyre inflator, better than old analogue ones where you've to guess what psi tyre is at by looking at the guage and also saves you time, because your not having check frequently what psi it's at, this automatically shuts down once it hits the desired tyre pressure set on the panel.

      Quick, easy to use and compact tool to keep on stand-by

      My car had recently developed a slow puncture, pinging up the warning light every 3-4 weeks and prompting a trip to the local supermarket or filling station for a top-up. It had a habit of going ping when I’m commuting to work early in the morning, never the best time. So I thought I’d invest in a tyre inflator to keep in the boot of the car so I can top up at my leisure, at least until I inevitably have to get the tyre repaired.

      There are dozens of tyre inflators available, some with digital readings and some with traditional analogue dials. What very few of them do is have the safe-guard feature of being able to set the desired pressure and the machine turns off when it reaches it. It is this functionality that swung me towards the Ring RTC1000.

      Ring, not to be confused with the Ring who make smart doorbells, are something of a specialist in the tyre pressure market so I was confident in the brand. The inflator arrives in its storage bag that also contains some protective gloves which are ideal for protecting you from the filth on your wheels and valves (although I’ve long been an advocate of just wiping my fingers on my jeans but that’s just me). Opening the bag you find the inflator, and at a quick glance you could mistake it for a defibrillator. It has a large blue digital display that shows the current pressure reading and your target pressure, plus a status indicator across the middle. You set the desired pressure using the yellow dial below the display, pressing it in to confirm your selection. At the bottom of the machine is a big “On” button, which begins the inflation process. In the centre is a button that illuminates the light found on the right-hand side of the device, and a moulded depression for placing your valve caps. On the left is a recess which contains the inflation tube and connector, and on the underside is an enclosed reel that tucks away the 3.5m long power cable which can be quickly wound away when finished.

      In operation, the Ring RTC1000 is easy to use and although noisy as you would expect from a pump it isn’t offensively loud. As you’re likely to be running your engine while operating the inflator it’s not much worse than the sound of your car. Both the power cable and inflation tube come out quickly and easily. The power cable is easy to wind back in, but you need to manually manipulate the inflation tube back into the recess. On the end of the inflation tube is a screw-on fitting that attached to the valve on your car’s tyre to enable a hands-free inflation. Just behind the fitting is a pressure-release button to allow you to adjust the tyre pressure without unscrewing the inflation tube.

      There is always going to be a question mark as to how accurate the reading is on these home inflation machines. When you first screw on the inflation tube it’s important to wait a few seconds for the display to finish taking its initial reading. Occasionally I found that the inflator would go up to the desired target, and then drop down by half a point. What I tend to do is set it for half a point (PSI or Bar) higher to compensate, and allow for any loss in pressure when removing the inflation tube. To get an idea of accuracy I compared readings on the Ring RTC1000 with those on my trusty little Rolson digital tyre gauge. Typically, I’ve found the initial reading prior to inflation to be identical, but 0.05 Bar higher on the Ring after inflation. My photos show before and after shots of readings from both the Ring and the Rolson. I would caveat this by saying I have no idea of how well calibrated the Rolson is either, it’s merely for guidance. Whatever, I’m satisfied that the margin of area is acceptable.

      Other notes I’d make is that realistically you’d never store your valve caps in the depression on the device as they’d fall out the moment you moved the whole lot to your next tyre. Also, a minor quibble, the light for me is on the wrong side. As a right-handed person I would crouch with the wheel to my left so as to bring my right arm across towards it (in a forehand-tennis shot approach). The torch is therefore shining in the wrong direction as I’d need to have the tyre on my right side (in a backhand approach) which doesn’t make it as easy to screw on the inflation tube.

      In summary though, I think the Ring RTC1000 is a very good digital tyre inflator and does everything I’d ask of it. A few minor points remind me it’s not perfect, and it is quite expensive compared to others, however the auto-stop function to me is a valuable safety feature and if I had my time again I still believe I’d buy the Ring RTC1000.

      Amazing tyre inflator! Was warey of buying with the 1* reviews but so glad I ignored them!

      No idea about the 1 star reviews. The product is solid and the interface is well laid out.

      I do understand people not being happy with the 12v adapter, however people are saying it doesn't fit their socket - yes it does. It just needs some gentle persuasion. It is an odd design but it does fit and is not something I'm slightly bothered about.

      I had a tyretek inflator and this thing blows it out the water. I love how fast it is, the light up digital display and the fact you can set the pressure and it auto cuts off when reached.

      Awesome kit. Small, neat , tidy, and has a good blow to it !

      Awesome little device. It is small compared to others I’ve had and you just plug it in and let it do it’s thing. It will automatically stop when it reaches the desired pressure that you have set. Comes with instructions but there’s is no point as it’s so easy. And it tidy’s away into a small neat compact bag too.
