Here at Adventure Kings, we sell two incredibly powerful portable 12v air compressors<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the single-piston Thumper air compressor<\/a><\/strong> and the twin-piston Thumper Max Air Compressor<\/a><\/strong>. Both of these are amazing bits of gear that allow you to re-inflate your tyres after you\u2019ve been 4WDing, by connect to your car battery<\/a><\/strong>. They are both fast and reliable, but it\u2019s pretty obvious that the Thumper Max<\/a><\/strong> is double as fast as the Thumper<\/strong> air compressor<\/strong><\/a>! Many people wonder what the best 12v air compressor<\/a><\/strong> for their use is, so to help you choose a portable air compressor<\/a><\/strong> to take offroad as part of your 4WD gear<\/strong>,<\/a> we\u2019ve put together this handy guide. By no means is this a hard and fast rule though \u2013 the information below should be used as a guide only, but everyone\u2019s needs change and what works for one person won\u2019t work for the next. Whichever 12v air compressor<\/a> <\/strong>you choose, you\u2019ll be getting a powerhouse that will do the job time after time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand in hand with our 4×4 winches<\/a><\/strong> and recovery gear<\/a><\/strong> are the two air compressors<\/a><\/strong> we offer here at Adventure Kings \u2013 the Thumper air compressor<\/strong><\/a>, and the Thumper Max air compressor<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s crucial that you deflate your tyres with a Kwiky tyre deflator<\/a><\/strong> when you head offroad to prevent getting stuck, but it\u2019s just as important to re-inflate your tyres with a \u00a012v air compressor<\/a> <\/strong>before you hit the blacktop again. If you drive on flat tyres, you run the risk of rolling a tyre off the rim causing an accident in the worst case scenario, and at best you\u2019ll overheat your tyres and cause massive long-term internal damage. In other words, it\u2019s essential that you pump your tyres back up when you\u2019re done 4WDing \u2013 and that\u2019s where Thumper<\/strong> <\/a>and Thumper Max<\/a><\/strong> come in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THUMPER PORTABLE AIR COMPRESSOR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both air compressors<\/strong> <\/a>connect to your vehicle\u2019s battery and let you pump car or trailer tyres back up whenever you need to, wherever you are. The Thumper<\/strong> <\/a>is our original portable air compressor<\/a><\/strong> and features a single-piston design. It is capable of delivering 160 litres per minute and will pump up to a maximum of 150psi. The Thumper Max compressor<\/a> <\/strong>uses a twin-cylinder design to deliver an insane 300 litres per minute of air \u2013 almost double the Thumper! Both 12v air compressors<\/a><\/strong> feature the same tough steel and alloy housing, and use the same heavy-duty 60mm alloy piston, cylinder and cylinder head, along with a rubber-mounted base to reduce vibration. To connect to your tyres you get 8 metres of rubber air hose with a built-in pressure gauge and a quick connect fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THUMPER MAX PORTABLE AIR COMPRESSOR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thumper<\/strong> Max<\/strong><\/a> isn\u2019t just double as fast as Thumper air compressor<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 it has another trick up its sleeve. It features an internal pressure cut-off switch that allows it to work with the optional 3in1 Ultimate Air Tool<\/a><\/strong>. That\u2019s important because to measure how much air is in your tyre, you need to turn your compressor off \u2013 it can\u2019t properly read tyre pressures while the compressor is hammering air into the tyres. Both 4WD air compressors<\/a><\/strong> feature an on\/off switch on the body, and with the Thumper you have to physically walk back to the compressor each time to turn it off, then back to the tyre to check pressure, and so on. With the Thumper Max<\/a><\/strong> and the optional 3in1, the compressor will only run while you have the thumb lever depressed, giving you workshop style activation. Combine that with it being double as fast as Thumper air compressor<\/a><\/strong>, and you can see why Thumper Max is our premium electric air compressor<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put simply, anyone with bigger-than-standard 4WD tyres should purchase a Thumper Max<\/a><\/strong>, as well as anyone who regularly heads offroad, or just doesn\u2019t want to wait in the hot sun pumping up tyres. That\u2019s not to say Thumper air compressor<\/strong> <\/a>isn\u2019t an excellent compressor. If you only head offroad occasionally and have standard sized tyres, it\u2019s a fantastic money-saving option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most common bundle products with either compressor include the premium canvas compressor bag<\/a><\/strong> to store your air compressor and associated tools, and if you tow a trailer then the optional 4m air extension hose<\/a><\/strong> gives you a total of 12 metres of reach \u2013 perfect for even the longest of trailers. And of course if you purchase the Thumper Max then to get the most from it you need the 3in1 Ultimate Air Tool<\/strong><\/a> too \u2013 it\u2019ll inflate, deflate and read tyre pressures. Other tyre accessories commonly purchased together include our Kwiky tyre deflator<\/a><\/strong> and our 47 piece tyre repair kit<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quality portable air compressor<\/a><\/strong> is an essential bit of 4WD gear<\/a><\/strong> to carry whenever you head offroad. It\u2019s not only dangerous driving on under-inflated tyres when you hit the tarmac again, but you\u2019ll simply chew your tyres out way too quickly \u2013 and you\u2019ll end up at the tyre shop forking out for new rubber again.
