I treated myself to a professional PTC (?) several years ago, along with one of those wall mount Aldi auto pull out/ roll up air lines. Garage is plumbed for the air line, with a fixed compressor. Just a matter of switching it on and pulling the line out to the car to blow the tyres up.
Then I had car, caravan, motorbike and little tractor tyres to keep blown up, but the bike went long ago.

A useful, but similar alternative is what the call a break out or break out box.
Just a plug and a socket connected back to back, with the wires joined via a connector or similar, where you can connect your probes. It just goes in series, so your ABS if it worked before, should continue to work, but you have easy access to the wires.

I came across a rather intriguing gadget way back in my GPO telephones days..
You wire two lamps in series, red lead to one lamp, black to the other. Then you connect the mid point of the two lamps, to a probe. Assuming 12v lamps, you connect to the battery + and negative, at which both lamps show half lit. Connect probe to a +ve and one lights up fully, connect probe to -ve and the other lamps lights up. You just mark the lamps up to indicate + and -. At GPo Telephones it used to just plug into the exchange racks 50v bus. For use on a car it can plug into a lighter socket. Instead of light bulbs, LED's could be used.
