If you are like many serious cyclists you probably want to maintain optimal tire pressure and maybe even adjust it for different conditions and of course your bike. . Some people check their tire pressure before every ride, while others maybe every few rides. And like a lot of other things cycling, everyone has their own idea of what pressure is right, everyone seems to have their own 'formula'. Are you a serious cyclist or just a hobbyist (or just someone who needs to inflate their tires from time to time - right?) I have a great review and gadget for you! The AIRXWILLS Portable Cordless Tire Inflator with Digital Display and Shutoff is what I'm reviewing today. I suppose the review title and link description above is too verbose, but I want all these features to be there and I don't want to neglect anything ;) Firstly; We know that even with more expensive tire pumps of all types, the sensor sometimes lags a little or a lot, depending on the pump. With that in mind (and skipping for a moment the part of the review where I usually start with unboxing, charging, etc. of the pump at the beginning) I fully charged the pump and started pumping right away. In doing so, I checked the gauge readings from the AIRXWILLS digital pump on every item I connected it to - both before and after pumping - and compared them to gauge readings from known good pumps as well as readings from a good quality standalone gauge that, as i know is accurate. Across the board, the readings between the AIRXWILLS pump gauge and the pumps and gauges I've compared it to have been consistently perfect. With some tire gauges it might have been a bit difficult to get half a pound ACCURACY, but with others (like my offline bike tire gauge) getting a half pound rating was easy and showed very reliably. Perfectly synchronized with the AIRXWILLS digital pump display. Over the past few weeks I have used the tire pressure in each tire to compare (and double-check) the known good gauge readings of my other pumps and the gauge with the AIRXWILL pump many times. a bike that my wife and I own, plus all the tires on my main bike rack (i.e. my car) and the large truck/SUV tires on our secondary bike rack (i.e. my wife's car), a tractor, a delivery truck, two handcarts, a cultivator, two snowblowers, a kayak cart, and even blowing dust out of a CPU heatsink on a dirty computer. For the latter, this actually works well, as it's not high pressure that packs the dust into a cooler or other component - it's light pressure that's good for blowing the dust out, after which the item can be vacuumed. Not quite what the pump is designed for, but it works. I changed the bike mode preset to PSI, which is where I normally inflate my main road bike's rear tire, and was able to quickly stop the pump with the U button for my front tire, which I inflate with slightly less air. I assigned a motorcycle preset to my mountain bike tires. There is also a car tire preset, a sports ball preset, each of which can be set to the pressure the pump is capable of and is preset from the factory. So in terms of accuracy I'm very, very impressed. In the long run I can't say what will happen, but so far the gauge readings are accurate. So, back to the beginning - the pump is well packaged in a beautifully printed box with a full color picture of the pump on the front. . It is securely fastened within the box dividers and all parts are boxed and held in place for transit through the box. The pump itself feels solid and has a good weight. There are some pics on his Revain page showing it being carried in a bottle cage on a bike with some extra bungee maybe you could do that but it's a bit small to keep in a bike cage on its own, and a bit heavy (the weight of the bike is light ;), but it's quite possible to carry it this way, attach it or put it in a bag. The pump feels like quality electronics, not something cheap and tacky like some of them seem to be. For the price you would expect it to be a relatively good model, not a very cheap one. I think a very good price but definitely not cheap. It is a beautiful color as shown in the picture with black parts/controls and is easy to see when you place it on the lawn. There is a USB charging port on one end and a small LED indicator and a place to screw in the pump hose on the other end. The tubing, like many hand pumps and the like, seems to have a standard thread, so I'm assuming the tubing from another pump would screw straight in if needed. I don't see that it's necessarily too short. The hose is about forty centimeters long, including the ends. The end of the hose itself has a standard Schrader valve retainer with a handle that snaps in to lock it in place, which is typical of many hand and small pumps. So to use a Presta valve, an adapter is included - the type that you screw onto your bike's Presta valve and then put onto the Schrader pump head. These adapters are common in case you lose them, but I keep them in the nozzle when storing as I mainly use the pump for cycling, otherwise you can keep it in a pocket or smaller bag with other adapters. in a drawstring pouch that may have come with the pump. The kit also includes another type of adapter - a Dunlop/Woods valve adapter (probably not something you'll use in North America, but popular in other parts of the world) and sports ball inflators. and many more, such as swim rings. There are also some spacers for adapters. Some adapters can be used as tools to quickly blow out dust and other debris. The description also states that this pump can be used to inflate mountain bike shock absorbers. The pump can inflate anything up to a maximum pressure of 150psi, but may not be the best option for inflating large-volume items. The light is a small LED which I think is a nice addition. It's not very powerful and there's no way to turn it off or anything - it turns on when the pump turns on and stays on as long as the pump stays on (everything turns off after about 30 seconds). even). I tried the LED light in low light and in fact it was enough to attach a pump and inflate a tire. Just enough. The pump is powered by a built-in 2000mAh lithium-ion battery. It takes several hours to fully charge, but not long. So far the battery life is ok, in fact I still need to charge it and have fully tested the pump for several weeks. It comes with a USB charger that plugs one end into the back of the pump. with a solid standard power plug, and there's an LED on the USB end to show when the pump is charged, which is nice. The pump can be charged from almost anything - a computer, wall adapter or cigarette lighter adapter. There's also a cute little satin drawstring pouch to slip your pump into. I want to put them in another bag before just tossing them in the bottom of a large drawstring bag. Most of the rest of the adapters I don't need, so I just slip the Presta adapter onto the end of the hose barb, lock it in place and slide the hose into the pocket next to the pump. The problem is that the hose is sticking out a bit, but you shouldn't try to kink the hose to make it fit as this will definitely damage the hose. This might not be the perfect storage solution, but there's no getting around it without using an unnecessarily long bag. The pump display can be configured to show different units of measurement - PSI, BAR, KPA or kg/cm. The pump is rated for a maximum pressure of 150psi at a flow rate of 20 liters per minute. High pressure but low volume. And as I mentioned above, it automatically turns off at a certain pressure for your chosen mode. The pump measures approximately 11.14 x 4.69 x 2.64 inches and weighs approximately 623 g or 1.6 lbs. It also comes with a 1-year warranty, which is a good thing too. Operation is easy. There's a power, plus, and minus button to set the max pressure in whatever mode you're in, and a U button that starts and stops the pump itself. Pressing the power button toggles between bike, motorcycle, car, and basketball modes, and holding the power button for a few seconds changes the pressure units. If you change the maximum pressure for any of the modes, it will remember it for the next time. To sum it up, my only complaints are minor; The small bolt-on Presta valve converter can be replaced with a nozzle that converts to either common valve type or doubles with both and the hose could be longer but those are minor things. In general, I am delighted with AIRXWILLS Portable. Battery powered tire inflator with digital pressure gauge and shut off and its usefulness. The time between charges is long and I'll probably keep it stable on my bike, mainly to increase tire pressure before riding. The accuracy of the manometer is a real super plus. I'll most likely continue to do random comparisons with my other pumps and offline gauges, as well as an old-school pinch test as a backup. But wow! Accuracy of one pound or less is great. A small, self-contained and easy-to-carry device is really handy for quickly checking and fine-tuning pressure while cycling and inflating car tires anywhere. . Not to mention that I can easily take it with me anywhere to use on my lawn tractor, cart or whatever else. And being able to toss it in the car and quickly deploy/use it to fuel my bike and other people on a group ride is a real bonus. There are many uses for it. And it looks and feels tough and durable. Highly recommended at the moment and I'll update the review if anything changes, but this AIRXWILLS pump has been pretty helpful to me so far.
