I have been given a (new) Ridge Ryder "Ultimate" Compressor. Not my first choice, but was a gift. Reviews suggest it is not a bad unit. However...

I have found it has no pressure switch- the unit just keeps running, even when the gauge lever is off. You have to go back to the compressor after each tyre inflate to turn the damn thing off.

Would I be better off adding a pressure switch (something like : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Air-Compressor-Pressure-Switch-Control-Valve-90-120-PSI-Air-Horn-Pump-12V-24V/282772421025?hash=item41d68cb9a1:g:OUAAAOSwvApaMlUQ) on a "T", or wiring in a remote control?

Not planning an air tank and not (at the moment) planning on permanent mounting.

If anyone has done this, advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark
