    We use one of these SCA 12V Heavy Duty Jump Starter w/Air Compressor – 1100A - Supercheap Auto Australia Battery Jump Starter packs to inflate our Moto Cross bike tyres also for the van as well , whilst a bit more expensive than the one The Hawk posted it can be used to start a flat battery inflate tyres has light and 12v power outlets .

    You screw it on the valve and it has the ability to lower presures as well.
    Autobarn and Repco sell them but abit more than $32 I paid $36 at Anaconda

    It would be cheaper just to buy one of these and go to the servo Pump tyres a bit harder and let them down with this to correct level.
    Cheap compressors are never real flash and the gauges on them are a lottery as well
    Good tip!! I'll check it out myself. I'm using Staun deflators atm to air down before going on sand, which can be a bit of a pain at times because it can be a bit of a gamble hoping all four are set to deflate to the right pressure. Tyres rolling off the rims in sand is NOT a good experience.

    On another note, the on board TPMS in the CC is pretty accurate.

    I have to say though, the on board TPMS in the CC is pretty accurate.
    Yeah I had 2 sets of Stauns and never used them Sold them on Ebay for a lot more than they cost me.

    Screw the Bushranger on, Hold it down soon gets down to right pressure

    I have an ARB Twin pump set up in my van for 2 years now, and by far it's the best value for money and it wins on performance too. I've had the Blue Tongue twin and have burned 2 of them within 4 years. The Big Red is more durable than the Blue Tongue by the long shot. Though, if you use it only for top up your tyres a few times per year, the ARB single pump is not much more expensive than the twin pump cheap ones out there and it will probably last you a lifetime.
