We bought a digital one a couple of months ago. The dial ones are too unreliable because the needle jumps around too much and therefore the actual pressure is very hit & miss.

hi just purchased the michelin digital tyre inflator for to have on board when we are touring.does anyone know if they are any good

ignore the dial as they are very unreliable,buy a digital gauge.

We have the michelin tyre inflator and the main problem is getting the connector to latch onto the caravan tyre valve.  I have now bought a wolf compressor.  With 2 cars, a caravan and a horse trailer it is handy ( also inflatable paddling pool ).

The one I have has a screw connector (like a valve cap) with a little button to release air if you over inflate.

I have never tried to blow up a completly flat tyre but it will stick 60psi into an Ivor Williams trailer tyre.

That sounds a better idea - the one I have has a lever to pull over and it didn't work well.
