Bought this to replace my twin barrel Michelin pump that disintegrated in less than a year. Not quite sure the situation where I may need to charge my phone via the USB whilst inflating my tyres....seems an odd feature that will never be used. In addition not sure when I may need to plug in another 12v device when there are often several available in modern cars. In all honesty, as we said about the 12266 edition, we can’t see a lot of people needing that 12V power outlet on the inflator itself, but maybe there’s something we’re not considering.

While it may be only the first day of my experience, I felt that I can rate my Michelin Tyre Inflator based on my previous experiences and my first impressions with this unit.Some like our Michelin 240V superfast digital inflator plugs into your household mains if you’re worried about your cars battery. It will also inflate faster! Our Halfords Advance tyre inflator does both 12v and 240v! While others are rechargeable and don’t need to be plugged in to use, like our Michelin mini rechargeable inflator which is great for topping up tyre pressure where ever you are.
