I see there are 12Volt 150ltr/min air compressors available via ebay for about $100. A 12 mtr kite needs about 250 ltrs of air to inflate to 12psi so if the specs are correct it should fill a kite in about 2 minutes.

It would mean pumping up within hose reach or cable reach of your car.

Anyone used one off these with success?

the proper kite pumps are actually two phase, they have a high vol pump phase and then a high pressure phase. I used one yesterday and would recommend it but i don't think you will get one that suits the bill for under $150 but i duno what cheapo versions exist.

Hey airsails,

12psi is pretty friggin hard. What kind of kite are you pumping to 12psi? The Ozones we sell pump to 10 psi and that is harder than most brands at the moment.

The new Ozone hand pump does 10 psi easy. I shouldn't imagine it would take much more effort to go to 12psi. The Ozone pumps have a check valve in the delivery port as well as the poppet valves in the pump piston. This eases up the load on the internal check valves. The new ones are pretty beefy looking.

See your local Ozone dealer for a look see. The new ones are a one piece bottom (no seperate base)

Good winds,

+theyu are a bitch to rerlaunch if they dont have 1 billuion psi in em
