Car compressor

A car compressor is the most essential item for car owners, especially for those who either have to travel long distances or are always limited in time and want to reduce the discomfort in the event of a flat tire.

If earlier the driver's faithful companion was a hand pump, which at the same time strengthened the muscles, now drivers have a wide choice in terms of car compressors . And it's so wide that it's quite difficult to sort through the assortment.

If you want to buy a car compressor (also known as an electric car pump) , first of all, you should be well aware of the features that will simplify the buying process. We will help you give you some tips on how to buy them. That is, what you should pay attention to.

Main features of the car compressor:

Performance: In this case, this is the speed at which the compressor fully inflates your car's tires. You may find after purchasing that an underpowered compressor simply cannot provide a full supply of air and is unable to inflate your tires sufficiently.

Connection type: As we learned from the previous point, we need a powerful air compressor, which in turn requires a powerful engine. Accordingly, energy consumption increases. Connecting the car compressor directly to the battery is the best option, but only if the car is not seriously damaged. In case of other problems, it is better to hand over the car to a trusted craftsman.

Cable length: In addition to the length of the cable, it is important to assess its strength by pulling it hard. A regular type of cable is preferable, although it is not very convenient to store.

The pressure in the tire compressor and the accuracy of the pressure measurement are important parameters.

Accuracy of pressure measurement: It is difficult to assess the accuracy of tire pressure without a specified gauge. So, first of all, pay attention to how well the pressure scale is read. In small compressors, the arrow moves slightly differently, so a pressure difference of 0.2 bar between different tires will be inevitable.

Duration of continuous operation: This parameter should be evaluated along with performance. For example, if you have high-quality tires made of 16-inch rubber, even a low-power compressor will do its job perfectly.

It should be noted only one thing - there are several versions of this compressor on the market, the difference in which is only in the design of the pressure gauge.

Main advantages:

• Compactness;
• Convenient bag.

Phantom PH2032

A simple compressor for pumping tires, which, according to the manufacturer, can inflate up to 37 liters of air per minute. However, in reality, it has less capabilities. This is not surprising, since the engine is of low power. The compressor itself weighs very little and can be connected to the cigarette lighter without any problems.
