Just like the servo, expensive but I reckon it's pretty bloody cool!

If it can be adapted to my ARB Twin compressor with airtank it would be pretty cool.

its basically and inline gauge with an air fitting on both ends. it beeps when you hit pressure but doesn't stop pumping, you need to intervene. It would be a plug and play into any air system.

Edit. It appears on a second read that it will stop at the desired pressure so there must be a 12v solenoid gate inside it and you run this between your compressor and your tyres. Not just in the air system.

Looks sweet but Big coin when you consider the application. Airing up doesn't take that long and I'm generally cleaning windows and headlights or chatting about the day, I'll stick to old school.

i think the only way this would be a real winner is if you had all 4 tyres hooked up at once and you could get in the car for 15 minutes while all 4 tyres pumped to 36psi together. that would be a winner! a lot of stuffing around an a heap of hoses. You'd have to sort out a manifold that takes 4 hoses after the unit to air up all at once. It says you could do that in revers too though and air down all at once.

Still think I'm ok to do it old school.....

You could use a air regulator for airing up.
It is slow once it gets close to set pressure but does do the job.

I paid $100 for mine. It's still going good. Looks the same as OPs expensive one, but without any foolproof cut off safety.
$600+ is way too pricey I reckon.

Yeah, that's a great idea mate.
How much do they usually go for? Where do you usually buy them from?
Thanx

dom14 there are a few on eBay for less than a 20. Not sure what they are like.
I've had this one for years, it came on a old fashioned compressor that the owner was a spray painter, he used it to reduce the pressure for spraying.
Had a gauge and grabbed some fittings from Pirtek to make it up.
I've used it at 5psi or less for a job that needed very low pressure.

An example
