Get a decent calibrated tyre guage and a decent manual foot pump. Will last far longer, cheaper and more accurate.

None of them do, but it's not that difficult to join two wires to the cigarette lighter plug and attach some crocodile clips on the ends. Make sure the wire going to the tip of the plug goes to the positive!

Seconded.

The gauges on the electric inflators are so inaccurate as to be worthless, and unless you have some physical shortcomings a foot pump is actually faster.

Well quite a lot aren't ignition switched but fitting croc clips instead isn't rocket science.

Or you can buy a cig lighter to croc clips adaptor from Ebay for not a lot if you wish .

I have an electric one that reads twice what the actual pressure is...and goes up to a maximum of 210 psi!

I've got two compressors. One run off the car battery and the other as part of a jump start pack. Both still work just fine. Despite being cheaper than a good quality foot pump. Which can be quite hard work. ;-)

Buy one with a cigarette lighter plug, chop it off and fit crocodile clips. You can buy them in Maplin or RS Components or something.

Or ,as I said ,buy an adaptor ( female cig lighter connection to croc clips) on Ebay and you have both as you need them.
