Due to the current Covid lockdown and the associated issues with getting my tank refilled, I spent weeks looking at becoming self sufficient.

I was sorely tempted to buy a cheap chinese compressor. No doubt there are good deals out here but at the pressure these things can operate at, I wasn't prepared to take the punt!

If money was no object I would have bought the Hills at around £850

In the end I bought myself the new Hills Mk5 stirrup pump to do me meantime.

Hopefully, I can soon go back to using my tank which I got refilled once or twice a year when we return to some degree of normality.
