Almost good enough [Posted on 2006-08-17]
I bought this kit as a "spare spare" for my SUV. You never know when one spare is enough and getting out of the back country is important.
It has everythong I need, but the inflator (air pump) is too wimpy. The warnings instruct:
1. Do not operate for more than 8 minutes continuously.
2. Allow compressor to cool 25 minutes between uses.
It's probably good enough for a car, but I'm getting a more capable compressor for the SUV. I don't care if it pumps slow, as long as it won't break if I forget to set a timer.
The other troubling thing is the warning to run the compressor only with the engine turned off. Over voltage protection isn't that expensive and I don't want to risk discharging my battery. When far from civilization, a dead battery is worse than a flat tire.
An ounce of prevention [Posted on 2007-10-10]
Slime is great stuff and does seal leaks just as it claims. This is a great deal for a compressor and a bottle of slime. I've seen the slime alone in the store costing more then the combo. I carry one, my wife carries one and now I've put them in our sons cars. You can't go wrong. I've been using slime products since 2000. Never a failure only success.
Best thing to have, especially on a motorcycle! [Posted on 2008-08-09]
Had this item in my motorcycle saddle bags for over 2 years "just in case'. Well, sure enough one day I come out of the office and there she sits with a flat rear tire (roofing nail). I pulled the nail by hand, slimed up the tire, pressured up the tire and road away. I know I'm not supposed to... but I've been riding on that repair for over a year now... waiting until I need a new back tire anyway. It's been holding air better than my front tire does actually.
