Key Takeaways
- The Worx WX092.9 hits 150 PSI max pressure, so it’s good for cars, motorbikes, and bikes.
- Digital gauge with auto-stop takes the guesswork out of tyre inflation.
- Works with all Worx 20V PowerShare batteries if you already own their tools.
- Bare tool price looks good, but you need batteries separately if you're new to Worx.
- Ordiniq's AutoPump offers the same 150 PSI with better UK support and a risk-free trial.
Why the Worx WX092.9 Makes Tyre Care Simple
Flat tyres always strike at the worst moments. The Worx WX092.9 20V cordless tyre inflator tackles this problem with a portable, battery-powered tool that lives in your boot. Compared to other car tools, this compact inflator has a lot of power despite the small size.
The WX092.9 uses Worx's PowerShare system, the same 20V batteries that run their drills, saws, and garden tools. If you already own Worx gear, this saves money. The inflator worked for weekend bike rides where quick pressure changes help on different trails.
What sets the Worx apart is that you get professional features in a DIY-friendly package. The digital display and preset function remove the guesswork from pumping tyres.

Features That Make the Worx WX092.9 Different
Small Size with 20V Battery System
At just 1.5 kg without battery, the WX092.9 balances power and portability well. The grip feels good in one hand. The compact size means it fits anywhere in your boot or garage. The unit stands steady on its base while running, whereas some others tip over easily.
PowerShare compatibility can be good for some. Any Worx 20V battery works, so you can swap batteries between tools. A 2.0Ah battery inflated four car tyres from 26 to 32 PSI with power left over.
Digital Gauge with Auto-Stop
The clear digital gauge shows PSI, BAR, and KPA. Just set your target pressure, connect it, and press start. The inflator stops automatically at the right pressure.
The quick-connect system works well; you can switch between jobs fast without fighting threaded connections. The 26-inch hose reaches awkward valves so that you don’t have to move the unit constantly. The hose stays flexible even when cold.
Attachments for Everything
You get three nozzles: the standard valve fits most car and bike tyres, the needle handles balls and toys, and the tapered nozzle inflates air mattresses and pool floats.
During tests, each attachment worked properly without air leaks. Having the right tool ready saves time and hassle when you need different inflation jobs done.
150 PSI Maximum Power
With 150 PSI max pressure, the WX092.9 beats many portable inflators in its price range. Others usually max out at 100–120 PSI. The extra power can help with road bike tyres that need 80–130 PSI. The unit keeps steady airflow even at high pressures.
How the Worx Performs in Real Life
Car Tyre Speed
The WX092.9 fills a standard car tyre from 26 to 32 PSI in about 2–3 minutes. That's average speed for cordless inflators, but it stays consistent.
Noise stays around 80 decibels, like a hoover. It’s much quieter than many compressors, so you can use it at night without waking everyone. The unit gets warm after doing all four tyres but never too hot to handle.
Bikes and Sports Gear
For bikes, the WX092.9 can work well. A flat road bike tyre reached 100 PSI in about 90 seconds. Mountain bike tyres with more volume take under two minutes. The digital gauge helps hit exact pressures where 5 PSI changes how the bike handles.
Sports balls inflate quickly with the needle attachment. It can be useful for inflating yoga balls where specific pressure affects safety and comfort.
Battery Runtime
Battery life depends which PowerShare battery you use. A standard 2.0Ah battery fully inflated six car tyres from flat (or topped up about 12 tyres) before needing a charge. That beats many competitors that drain batteries faster. The system manages heat well too, so batteries last longer.
Build Quality and Design
Weight and Balance
Without a battery, it weighs 1.5kg, light enough for extended use. The balance point sits right at the handle, so your wrist doesn't hurt during long jobs. The rubber grips work even with sweaty or slightly oily hands, common during roadside repairs.
The LED light up front lights up the valve and gives emergency lighting at night. The light turns on automatically, but you can control it separately.
Simple Controls
Big buttons work even with gloves on. The display shows clear numbers you can read in bright sun or darkness. Setting pressure takes just a few button presses; the + and - buttons adjust in 0.5 PSI steps.
Storage Design
The hose wraps around the base and clips securely. All three nozzles store in spots on the body. The only downside: there’s no spot for the power cable, which can tangle during transport.
The size (about 25 cm × 15 cm × 10 cm) fits easily in emergency kits or tool drawers. It’s big enough to stay stable on grass or gravel where you often deal with flat tyres.
Price: What You Actually Pay
Tool Only vs Full Kit
The WX092.9 usually costs £60–£70 for just the tool (no battery or charger). This can be nice if you already own Worx tools. New users need to add a battery (about £40 for 2.0Ah) and charger (around £30). The total investment can reach £130–£140.
Compared to complete kits from Ryobi or Black+Decker, Worx still gives you a versatile tool considering all the features.
Value Against Similar Inflators
The WX092.9 beats similar-priced options with higher pressure (150 PSI vs usual 100–120 PSI), better accuracy, and nicer accessories. Cheaper inflators cut corners on pressure or battery life. Pricier pro models inflate slightly faster but cost way more. For normal use, Worx hits the sweet spot.
Battery efficiency adds value too. Getting 6+ tyre inflations per charge means less battery swapping and charging than competitors. That convenience might help the tool last longer with fewer charge cycles.
Note: The price ranges mentioned above are approximate and subject to change over time and across different locations. Costs may vary based on factors such as pricing policies, the provider's experience, and evolving market conditions.
Things to Know Before Buying
The WX092.9 isn't perfect. Inflation speed works for occasional use but falls short for professional mechanics. If you inflate tyres all day, get a shop compressor. The noise, while quieter than many, still gets noticed indoors.
The air hose could use a few more inches for hard-to-reach valves on big vehicles. No storage case seems cheap when you might transport it often. A simple bag would protect it from dust.
Battery life needs to be watched during long sessions. The unit doesn't show the remaining battery on its display, so you need to check the battery light. This can catch you off guard if you're not paying attention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does the Worx WX092.9 take to inflate a standard car tyre?
The Worx inflates a car tyre from 26 to 32 PSI in about 2–3 minutes. A completely flat tyre takes 5–7 minutes to reach proper pressure. Bigger SUV tyres need more time than small car tyres. While it’s not the fastest pump, the auto shut-off lets you start pumping and do other things without watching it constantly.
Is the Worx WX092.9 sold with a battery and charger?
No, it usually comes as just the tool. This helps existing Worx owners who already have batteries. New users need to buy a 20V battery and charger separately, which adds about £70 but works with other Worx PowerShare tools.
Can the Worx WX092.9 be used with all Worx 20V batteries?
Yes, any Worx 20V PowerShare battery works, from 1.5Ah to 5.0Ah. Bigger batteries have a longer runtime but add weight. A 1.5Ah battery handles 3–4 car tyres, while a 2.0Ah battery does about 6 tyres. A 4.0Ah inflates up to 12 tyres per charge.
How accurate is the digital pressure gauge on the Worx WX092.9?
Tests show accuracy within 1 PSI compared to professional gauges. That beats most portable inflators and works for all normal uses, including high-performance bikes where exact pressure matters. The gauge shows PSI, BAR, and KPA for different preferences.
How does Ordiniq's AutoPump compare to the Worx WX092.9?
Both hit 150 PSI max pressure, but Ordiniq's AutoPump comes with better support for UK drivers. While Worx makes you buy batteries separately, Ordiniq offers complete packages with everything included. The AutoPump adds free tyre pressure monitoring caps worth £19.99 and backs everything with a 90-day money-back guarantee. Over 10,000 UK drivers trust Ordiniq, and our 24/7 support team helps whenever you need them.
