Can you imagine driving to the football, perhaps running a little late, only to get half way and hear the dreaded sound of a flat tyre?
This is one of the times that highlights how valuable a tyre compressor can be – just pull over into a car park or lay by, maybe even as simple as a residential street. Get out the trusty car tyre inflator and you’ll be back on the road again in no time.
On the other hand, if you do what most people do, you’re at the mercy of the RAC or the Green Flag patrol reaching you when you’re the next highest priority customer in the queue. Nice though their mechanics are, they probably don’t give a monkeys what time kick off is, so at best it’s a roll of a dice whether you get to see any of the first half.
Having the inflator in your boot though means that if air is all you need, you’re well placed to make it to your seat in the stands in time for the kick off whistle being blown.
What’s more it’s always the worst moment that something like this goes wrong – like the day you’ve got a ticket for the cup final at Wembley Stadium!
