Recommendations for 12v tyre inflator that actually works

Can anyone recommend a easy to use robust 12v ciggie lighter tyre inflator that works and STAYS working? I have just spent an hour doing six tyres with my last Halfrauds one. Bongo plus caravan.
The read out is wobbly, it has a stupid screw fitting for the tyre valve which has to be held on to stop it letting air out part way through. The previous one had a decent clip fitting but the auto stop packed up and it kept cutting out at the wrong reading. Its such a useful bit of kit when it works. Fitting the Bongo in at the local garage machine is a squeeze even without the caravan.
Someone must make a decent version. As I do not usually carry a spare due to LPG this is an essential bit of kit. Totally frustrated.
