Every thing you need for tire repair, June 7, 2008
This review is from: Slime Powerspair - 48 Piece Kit Tire Repair Kit (Misc.)
The 12v pump in the kit pumps very fast and is probably the best 12v inflator that I have come across. Comes with everything you need to plug a tire, and a large container of wonderful slime. Also has a long hose with quick connects and the case is really nice. The only thing that is bad about this kit is the air gauge. It is really cheaply made. It has a very cool LED thing at the bottom that lights it up but the plastic holding it on is very small and it was broken off on arival. There are also tools to take out the air valves etc..
Overall a great kit, and all you need to carry in your car for emergency tire needs.

good kit, July 3, 2009
This review is from: Slime Powerspair - 48 Piece Kit Tire Repair Kit (Misc.)
I purchased this kit after switching to conventional tires. It contains everything you need to make several repairs, though if you have anything bigger than the diameter of a pen, best have someone to call.
The compressor is the best part of the kit. It's quiet, fast and sturdy, and it includes a small LED light. It does require a 15 amp connection; the kit includes a battery clip adapter if your lighter isn't rated for it. The gauge is suspect though. I checked it against two other gauges (including the one that comes with the kit), and the compressor gauge consistently reads too low.
The air hose screws onto your valve stem and provides a secure, leak-proof connection, but if the valve stem is dirty, this may pose a minor inconvenience.
Overall, a good kit, but I hope I never have to use it.

Can't wait to blow a tire., December 23, 2009
This review is from: Slime Powerspair - 48 Piece Kit Tire Repair Kit (Misc.)
I've not yet popped a tire, but I feel well prepared to do so.
My notes:
This kit comes wit, instructions, often illustrated, on how to use most of the items here.
There are spare valve caps and those little doohickeys that go in the valve stem (I've always been afraid to lose valve caps).
That big jug of green stuff seems to be enough for only one car tire but did not seem to be intended for cars. I had to use most of it for my bicycle anyway.
The air compressor (probably 80-90% of the total cost) works great. The ten minute window they recommend you use it in is probably more than enough to fill one tire, but not quite enough to take all four of my tires from 12 to 32 psi. The air compressor's cigarette lighter charger kept popping out of my cigarette lighter but worked fine. I did not try to hook it directly to my battery, but it comes with an attachment to do so.
