Adventure Kings Multi Tyre Inflator Deflator AKAC-DUALTYRE-01
VerifiedMPN: AKAC-DUALTYRE-012 reviews
I do not recommend this product because it simply does not work as intended. When inflating two tyres, disconnecting one side immediately causes air to escape from the tyre connected to the other side. There is no effective backflow-prevention mechanism or valve setting to stop this from happening. I tried the valve in all three positions, but none prevented the air from escaping. As a result, one tyre always ends up below the desired pressure, making this dual-hose inflator frustrating and essentially useless.
I initially contacted Adventure Kings through their customer service email and was told to contact them through eBay because that was where I purchased the product. I did so and provided videos clearly demonstrating the issue. Their brief and dismissive response was: “This is how the device is intended. We recommend turning off the unit before disconnecting it. No fault.”
Turning off the unit does not solve the problem—the tyre still loses air when one side is disconnected. If this is genuinely how the product is designed to operate, then it is poorly designed and not fit for its intended purpose.
Purchased in at eBay for $79.95.
Difficult to get the inflator onto the valve, then it leaks air until the second inflator is placed on the other wheel, non-adjustable pressure so you can't just walk away and let it pump to a preset selection, you have to pump it way past your intended pressure, I had to pump it to 45 PSI then drop my tyres back to 32 on my wife's car, if I have known that before purchase I would have bought the Big Red unit,
Follow-up · I have tried it on my caravan and 4x4 and my wife's Peugeot, I have the twin inflator kit, 4x4 Supercenter solution was to buy the single inflator kit which deflator the purpose of buying the twin inflator kit, The noise level is low,

Hi Micael, Thank you for your feedback regarding the dual hose inflator.
Unfortunately this is the design of the product. The unit is intended to function as a shared system, which is why we recommend turning off the unit completely before disconnecting any hoses to minimise air loss.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and review of the item and I have passed your comments along to our product development team.
Regards, Courtney
