Ring Automotive’s RAC610 sits in the brand’s budget 12V inflator range, aimed at drivers who want a simple boot-ready compressor for topping up tyres at home or on the roadside. It competes with other plug in car inflators from Halfords and Michelin style units, but keeps things basic with an analogue dial rather than digital presets.
Who is this for?
Best suited to occasional top ups and emergency use, especially if you prefer a needle gauge you can glance at without menus or batteries. Being 12V, it runs from your car’s power socket, so it’s a better fit for keeping pressures in check than for inflating large items from flat in one go.
- 12V car powered: works from the vehicle, useful when you are away from a mains socket.
- Analogue pressure gauge: clear at a glance, but you will need to stop at the right pressure manually.
- Claimed speed: Ring says it can inflate a 13 inch tyre in under 4.5 minutes (from low pressure, not a full flat).
