This plastic inflator has a trigger and a sprung ‘weather cover’, which must be activated simultaneously to inflate a tyre. A canister can be stored in the handle, which also prevents frozen hands. It accepts both valve types and threaded and unthreaded cartridges.
It’s the bulkiest unit here and the plastic casing doesn’t feel as high quality as others on test, despite the relatively high price. The handle wouldn’t accept our 25g cartridges, although these can be used with the head.
Price $45 w/2x16g cartridges
