MG Midget and Sprite General - Tyre Inflator

I need to replace my tyre foot pump with an electric version and are aware that some are better than others. I remember a group test in one of the magazines some time ago but cannot find it, can anyone tell me which mag and recommend any pump ?
John M Platt

Hi John, the full test was quite a few months ago and was in Practical classics but I can't find my copy of it, but in one of the later issues it lists the previous winners.

The winning foot pump was the Laser 4411 double barrel and gauge foot pump. It cost's £21.99 and scored 14/15 and the mag reported that it 'has an accurate gauge and is well made with a sturdy frame and wide grippy tread plate'

Sorry I can't help with the budget buy or runner up info.

Hope this helps

I purchased this one to replace my old Colman,,,,I got it on sale at a Cabella's Store... I used it to reinflate my TD tires after painting the rims,,,It's quiet, and inflates a 165x15 tire from 0psi up to 32psi in less than two minutes...and the built in gauge is accurate!

I have been very pleased with it, bags of oomph. However now that I have a nice air compressor unit I don't tend use it any more.
