Flex Single Air Compressor, 12V Portable in Ammo-Style Case

Short Product Summary

The Flex Single Air Compressor is a portable 12V unit supplied in a hard ammo-style carry case, so tyre inflation at the trailhead, at camp or in the workshop is covered. Battery clamps and an air accessory kit come with it, which means you can connect to a 12V battery and start inflating without sourcing extra parts. It suits 4x4 owners, campers and anyone who wants a dependable source of air in the vehicle.

Why This Product

Airing down for sand or corrugations is the easy part. Getting back to road pressure before the tar is where a weak pump or a missing fitting ruins the day. A dedicated compressor that travels in its own tough case, clips straight to the battery and carries its own chucks and nozzle takes that worry off your list. This one is rated at 3 CFM (85 L/min) and a maximum of 100 psi, which is aimed at tyre inflation and general inflation jobs.

Key Features

• Ammo-style carry case – impact-resistant and weatherproof, so the compressor is protected on rough tracks and stores as one tidy unit
• Stainless steel heat shield – covers the hot surfaces so you are less likely to get burnt while it runs
• Battery clamps included – connect directly to a 12V battery for power
• Quick-connect tyre chuck – attaches to the valve quickly and securely
• Air accessory kit – an extra air chuck, a tyre pump nozzle and an NPT threaded pipe fitting are supplied
• 3 CFM (85 L/min) airflow – the rated flow for tyre inflation and general jobs
• Up to 100 psi – the maximum pressure for tyres and general inflation

Ideal For

• 4x4 and overland drivers who air down off-road and need to pump back up before the tar
• Campers and caravanners who want tyres checked and topped up at camp
• Roadside emergency kits where a portable 12V compressor gives you a way to re-inflate a tyre
• Home and workshop users who need a portable source of air for general jobs
