Ring wins Honest John Home Car Maintenance Product of the Year 2018

Ring’s RAC610 Analogue Tyre Inflator has been awarded Honest John’s Home Car Maintenance Product of the Year 2018, beating four other shortlisted products to the top prize.

The RAC610 was up against a battery charger, a tyre pressure monitoring system, a jump starter and a power washer in the category. The inflator triumphed as the best piece of kit for at-home car maintenance, with the team citing the RAC610 as “very easy and intuitive” to use, praising the product’s simplicity, and saying, “if you’ve got a flat tyre, the main thing you want is a compressor that can quickly and easily pump it up. And the 610 does just that.”

This is second Honest John Product Awards, which recognises the best automotive products available for motorists. Categories include Best Child Seat, Best Exterior Car Care and Best Tyres, as well as Home Car Maintenance Product of the Year. Honestjohn.co.uk is one of the UK’s leading motoring websites, with over 20 million unique users a year, for unbiased, honest advice on everything from real MPG ratings, to buying a new car, to selecting the best car kit.

This year’s awards coincide with the launch of Honest John’s new product-focused website, which is a standalone platform dedicated to automotive kit and products. With the new focus, the website promises to continue to give visitors impartial advice on the best kit for motorists.
