The new portable, 12V digital combined tyre pressure gauge and compressors are fantastic. A lot of servos now either have no air at all, or their units are hopelessly inaccurate or broken. I tried one of the new portable units, got one for only $20, and it’s fantastic. You set the pressure you want and it automatically pumps or bleeds air. Temu has multiple models to choose from. Most accurate inflation I’ve had in years, and it gets around the problem of tyre pressures needing to be read when cold, to be accurate - by the time you drive to the servo to do it, you’re already inflating to the wrong pressures because the tyres are warm. You can also take it with you in the car, and use the 12V supply there to power it.
