    I just gave up last year and bought a rechargable inflator for €30 in Aldi, best decision I've made in a while, also very useful to carry in the car should I pick up a puncture. Too much hassle between machines not working, too little time given to inflate, bellends parking in the bay to inflate tyres while they do a weekly shop etc etc.

    The ones out by me take card for 4 minutes (maybe 5). Faaaaar easier than carrying a €1 coin

    I gave up on the forecourt inflators years ago.

    When you have your own you can relax and check pressure at home when it suits you.

    Also if you are using the same machine all the time you can rely on the readings.

    Circle K on the Malahide Road at the Artane roundabout has a card reader on theirs, not aware of any that are free of charge any more

    Does it draw much power from the battery?

    It works like a cordless drill, that style of a removable battery included, it came with both a cigarette lighter charger and mains charger. Takes about 2 hours to charge on the mains from new, so far most I have done on a single charge is topped up 4 car tyres twice (by about 10%) and pumped up 2 bicycle tyres from completely flat (comes with racing bike tyre connector), indicator on the battery displayed over 75% left after this.

    Get yourself a foot pump. They only cost about 10/15 yoyos.

    Quick and simple to use, with a built in gauge.

    Don't need to remember to keep a cordless unit charged.

    No need to unwind a cable and plug in to pump, and then wind it all up again after.

    And you get a little leg workout.

    Think maybe all Circle K garages have that setup now.

    I have an old one that plugs into the 12v socket in the car, it is worth having one of these for a puncture. I once came out of an event in a hired monkey suit and found a tyre flat, I pumped it up and it took me home, the next day I pumped it up again and went to a tyre place, who fixed it.

    I did end up buying a digital gauge also as the gauge on the pump wasn't great.
