AIRFORCE tyre inflator AFG1
20 years of the AFG1

An icon that has earned its place on the workshop wall.

The AIRFORCE Tyre Inflator turned 20 this year. It sits in a line of gauges that goes back to the Vertex Air Line Gauge of the 1940s, and the current MK4 range carries an extended warranty because it is made in Sheffield.
