Air Compressor Fieldmann FDAK 12011 12V — portable 12V vehicle compressor for inflating tyres and small inflatables

Fieldmann FDAK 12011 is a 12V portable air compressor designed for inflating vehicle tyres and small inflatables. The unit draws power from a vehicle 12V socket or battery and includes an integrated bar meter with 0.1 bar accuracy for straightforward pressure checks. With a 30 mm cylinder and a high-pressure hose fitted with a threaded coupling, the compressor prevents air leakage at the valve and can inflate a significantly deflated tyre to about 2.4 bar in approximately 3 minutes. A set of inflation needles is included for sports balls and small inflatables. The compressor is compact and intended for mobile, roadside use; continuous operation should not exceed 15 minutes.

Advantages

The Fieldmann FDAK 12011 offers a compact, vehicle-powered solution for rapid tyre topping-up and inflating small items without the need for an external power source. Its built-in bar meter with 0.1 bar resolution enables precise monitoring of tyre pressure while the threaded hose coupling reduces the risk of air loss during connection. The 3 m power cord and 1 m hose provide sufficient reach around most passenger vehicles, and the included needle adapters expand usefulness to sports equipment and air mattresses.

Suitable for

• Emergency tyre inflation and pressure topping-up on passenger cars
• Inflating bicycles, sports balls and inflatable toys (using included needles)
• Camping and outdoor trips for air mattresses and small inflatables
• Quick roadside inflation when a portable, 12V-powered solution is required

Key specifications

• Power supply: 12 V (vehicle cigarette lighter socket or battery)
• Cylinder diameter: 30 mm
• Pressure gauge accuracy: 0.1 bar
• Maximum continuous operation time: up to 15 minutes
• Inflation time to ~2.4 bar for a common tyre: approx. 3 minutes
• Power cord length: 3 m
• High-pressure hose length: 1 m with threaded screw connector
• Includes set of inflation needles for balls and small inflatables

How to use

Connect the 12V plug to the vehicle cigarette lighter socket or to a compatible 12V battery terminal, position the vehicle in a safe, level place and switch the compressor on. Attach the threaded coupling of the high-pressure hose securely to the tyre valve to avoid leakage, monitor the integrated bar meter and stop the compressor once the desired pressure is reached. Use the supplied needle adapters for balls and other small inflatables according to their opening type. Allow the compressor to cool if it has been running near the 15-minute continuous operation limit before restarting.

Usage recommendations

For accurate tyre pressure maintenance, check the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure and measure cold tyres before driving. Avoid running the compressor longer than 15 minutes continuously and keep the unit on a stable, non-flammable surface while operating. Store the hose and needles clean and dry to prevent clogging or damage.
