WORX 18V Inflator 4 in 1 Tool, from £79.99
Here’s another versatile product in their range. Its primary function is a powerful tyre inflator, in fact, it offers up to 10Bar of pressure and considering most cars only need a quarter of that, it’ll definitely have you covered. What we really like is the digital gauge, just pre-set your desired pressure, plug it in and push go. There’s no waiting around checking a jumpy needle here, it’ll automatically switch off when it hits the number. Plus, if you’re having to use it at the side of the road, there’s a breakdown warning light built in.

- Inflator, tyre pressure monitor, work light and breakdown warning light

WORX Hydroshot 20V Portable Pressure Cleaner, from £85
We tested the Hydroshot when it was first released (read the review here) and it was a great product then, but now they have added to the range. The base model is the single pressure WG620E, while their flagship WG630E has a super-powerful brushless motor. The one we used in the above video is the dual-speed and original WG629E. These are an essential product for show season as it can draw water from a bucket or you can even attach a plastic water bottle.

WORX 18V Cordless Orbital Polisher, from £69.99
Imagine the situation. You’re at your favourite car show, you’ve just washed all the dirt off your car using the Hydroshot and now you need to give your car a quick polish! Simply detach the battery from your WG630E and then attach it to this orbital polisher and get buffing for a swirl-free finish. Being an orbital polisher means it’s super-safe, too.

This thing is super-powerful and versatile, as it won’t just suck but it’ll blow too! It comes with several attachments and has the Powershare facility, so you can use the battery from your Hydroshot or Orbital Polisher to fire it up. If you’d prefer a more compact vacuum then look no further than their Cube Vac. (https://www.fastcar.co.uk/videos/what-to-gift-petrolheads-for-christmas-fc-christmas-gift-guide/)!

The one in our video is the entry level S300 which is for small lawns up to 300sq m, but they do models for very large areas and rough terrain, too.
