At Motor Verso, we’ve tested our fair share of tire inflators—from the truly abysmal to the genuinely impressive. The TowerTop Tyre Inflator Air Compressor lands firmly in the latter category. In fact, it’s one of the best wired inflators we’ve laid hands on.
One Of The Best Wired Inflators
What makes it stand out? For starters, its build quality is simply fantastic. It feels solid, well-assembled, and designed to withstand regular use without fuss. The dimensions are thoughtfully compact too, making it easy to stow in your boot without it becoming an inconvenience.
12v Power Is a Bonus
This unit tethers directly to your vehicle’s 12V socket, which might seem old-school in today’s battery-powered age—but it’s a massive advantage. You’ll never need to worry about charging it or finding it flat when you need it most. The reliable power source means it always delivers full performance, no matter the conditions.
Fast and Powerful
Performance-wise, it’s no slouch. TowerTop claims 2X faster inflation, and in our testing, it comfortably aired up a 16 inch tyre from 0 to 35 PSI in under three minutes. That’s quick enough for roadside top-ups or even emergency slow puncture scenarios. Plus, it comes loaded with smart features: a digital pressure gauge, accurate to ±1 PSI, lets you preset your desired pressure, and it automatically shuts off once reached—a real time-saver and confidence booster.
One of the biggest surprises? It features an actively running cooling fan—a rare addition at this price point, especially for a compact inflator. This allows for extended use without overheating, making it suitable for multiple tire inflations in one session.
LED Light Feature
The included LED light is a lifesaver. It’s bright, adjustable between modes (standard, hazard, and flashing), and powerful enough to be genuinely useful at night—whether you’re inflating or needing visibility in an emergency.
It even includes spare fuses and multiple nozzles (including adapters for bikes and balls).
Pricing
At £35.69, it’s hard to argue against the value here. This is a truly capable tool that feels like it should cost more. For motorists who like to stay prepared—especially those who’ve faced the frustration of underinflated tires or slow punctures on a long drive, this inflator is a must-have.
Verdict
For a wired inflator, this is near the top of the pile. It’s powerful, smartly designed, and rugged. TowerTop’s offering is a seriously good bit of kit, and one we’re happy to recommend to the Motor Verso community.
