Hello Colly,
I can advise the following for the RAC Compact Tyre Inflator - 12V:
This is continuous and would require you to watch and turn it off at the correct PSI/BAR.
Thanks for using Q&A.

Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello there,
The supplier has advised the following for the RAC Compact Tyre Inflator - 12V:
The instruction booklet states: This compressor is intended for short run use. Maximum uninterrupted running time should not exceed 15 minutes and a 15 minute cooling down period is recommended before running the compressor again.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello there
The RAC Compact Tyre Inflator - 12V has a 2.55m power cable.
I hope this helps
Thanks for using Q&A
supposedly but mine was missing. Will be retuning for a refund!
Hello Jack,
From the information we have available I can confirm this RAC Compact Tyre Inflator does not come with a 12kv cable. This device operates via the 12V in-car socket or motorbike battery terminals.
Thank you for using Q&A
HI Kirsty
As advised in the "About the product description" Manufacturer's 1 year guarantee.

Hi Karl,
The RAC Compact Tyre Inflator - 12V only has a 12V power supply so needs to be attached to the 12V car adaptor or battery terminals.
Thanks for using Q&A,

Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Chas,
I can advise the following on the RAC Compact Tyre Inflator:
No, this is 12volt only or a motorbike battery. This can't be used with a 3 pin plug socket.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Yes, you certainly can I dont know why Argos said no. However, a better solution is to get an extension lead with crocodile clips on one end and a cigarette socket on the other, so you can use it in either circumstance. They are easy to make or are available ready-made from numerous places.
Hi Phil,
This is not suitable for this purpose.
Thanks for using Q&A.
