Genuine Innovations Microflate Nano. I found out the hard way that the press to activate ones don't work as well, if at all. The Nano is excellent and I have one in each of three tool pods.

I'm guessing the link for the ebay item is from hudson cycles in Rossignton Doncaster from the user name and "new item"
carpet gives it away too

I personally prefer one with a 'tap' on it so you can feather how fast the CO2 is released, less chance of blowing the tyre off the rim.

I have an SKS AirGun and in true STW style I cant really fault it, used to have a tiny Weldtite 'press and go' jobbie and found it almost impossible to use with any degree of control.

I've got one which locks on with a lever, then has a trigger to operate, and another which is one of the simple press-to-inflate ones. I find the simple one much easier to use.
