  • So based on your suggestion, I'm looking at getting one of these HY5508, and aiming to get one of these to go with it Prestaflator Pro... I'm confused about hoses and fittings, though - will that compressor and that inflator head fit with this hose? And if not, what do I need to get to make it all play together / what would be a better option to connect it all up? Thanks!

  • I went for the 24L in the end as I'd like the option of using some air tools at a later date.
    With that in mind I went for a strong 10 metre long hose with an 8mm bore.

    Be aware, the quick fit connectors fitted to the compressor were for automotive connectors (rather than industrial)

    For the hose you posted you'll need an adapter for one of the ends to fit the automotive coupling.

    I've gone for the non pro, cheaper Prestaflator but that's not showing up for a while so I'm using some ancient schrader inflator for now.

    And to add, the difference in price (when i looked) between the 8L and the 24L was something like £35-ish. So didn't seem sensible to go for the smaller one.

  • difference in price (when i looked) between the 8L and the 24L was something like £35-ish.

    That would be my view too - £35 is soon forgotten, an undersized tool is an annoyance forever.

  • Great intel, thanks v much to all who've chipped in

  • By the way, may not be relevant or helpful right now but I ordered that Prestaflator Pro from Gone Biking Mad this morning and it's already showing despatched - they may have stock of the one you're after?
