Looks like a good option. Did you purchase online from evobikes as well?

[TheoG]

Yes I did, more than a year ago on special, so somewhat cheaper than the current price ... 😀

Quite a plethora of reviews on Wiggle, which seems very positive.

I don't think you will make a mistake, the quality is good and is working 100% for me.

Finally found a nice digital pressure gauge.

 

 

Rather than the standard connector hose I fitted a cycle pump hose and connector.

Nice. This can work well with my 4x4 compressor. I only use a foot pump because I must

I have been eyeing out one of these for a while now, not badly priced...

Go for the Teng Tool unit. I've got one in my toolbox. Great quality, comes with calibration certificate. The importers are based in Ndabeni and own an engineering works. Good support and will organise calibration etc too

Does it blow air fast enough to seat a tubeless tyre ?

That should be able to. I have a smaller one but I think also 120 psi, which I use if my floor pump doesnt seat my tyre.

For ages I was eyeing out the 40V kit version of that (charger + 2.5Ah battery) as it was the cheapest way to get onto the 40V platform.

There's a Kiwi on YouTube that reviews a ton of Makita gear, and he has a vid on the various inflators. Don't think he covers the topic of seating tubeless, but still informative

 It's not bad Matt offroad recovery uses it to pump tyres amd it works good.

A pretty rare Makita air tool that can be used to increase productivity in the workplace...

Apparently it does 130dB (about as loud as a jet taking off)
