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.

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.

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.

Compressor:
I use it all the time, I'm in construction and I visit dump places very often, I get a nail or a screw in my tire at least twice a month. This unit is fully capable to inflate a 18" tire on my truck(s). This is the third set I have purchased, last one lasted almost one year before I burned it.
Does this one get hot? Yes. Dont lick it.
Dont buy crap from Kragen, Costco,.. they cant even inflate loaded truck.. some can but you'll burn them. If you are going to keep it in a trunk of your car, then this will last forever..
There are better products on the market but when you see the price you'll come back to this one.

The rest of the package:
plugs can be purchased separately once you use them up.
Slime liquid I do not use so find other reviews for it.

MUST:
Add a pair of nozzle pliers to your kit and some rubber glue (you can use the plugs only but only to get to your nearest tire guy, unless you put some glue on the plug before you push it in, then it's called permanent patch).

This is an off-road must have for anyone who likes to tear up the dirt! I use this kit to keep my truck and two ATVs rolling.

Bought this pump/repair kit from Wal-Mart the other day for around $52 bucks. Bought an Infiniti G35 sports car with aftermarket 18" rims and performance tires a few months ago. The car originally comes with a spare tire kit, but the previous owner had removed the spare tire since after lowering the car the spare would no longer fit, and it saves a couple lbs on weight when using the performance side of the car.

After replacing the two front tires, one of them kept getting low and I was filling it up about once a week. After a few weeks, I decided to take matters into my own hands and grab some slime and a portable air pump to keep fix the tire and keep as a backup in the car since there is no spare tire. My parents used slime in my bikes when I was kid and it always worked flawlessly so I was hoping it would solve my car tire problems as well.

I used the kit to easily put about 16oz of slime into each of my front tires and used the amazing air pump (believe me this thing is very high quality) to fill up each of the tires in 2-3 minutes. Two weeks later, both tires are great and the one that was leaking has had no problems.

HIGHLY recommend this kit for anyone who does not have a spare tire in their small sports car, anyone who wants to prevent tire problems before they happen, or anyone who wants a $50 dollar tire "insurance" kit for long road trips.

The air pump alone is worth the cost, and also comes with tips for inflating toys and basketballs/footballs. I expect this pump will last for 20+ years. I can't stress enough how impressed I am with the build quality, speed of inflation, and quietness of the pump.

Great compact kit. Air compressor works excellent. Contains everything you need to fix a flat quickly and efficiently.

I bought this same kit from a hardware store when I had a flat and knew it was due to a faulty valve core on my tire and didn't feel like changing a perfectly good tire in a parking garage. At the hardware store this kit ran me $80 so this price on Amazon is a great deal. I'm a gearhead and at first thought it was just a cheap little gimmick but after using it, I am sold. The kit comes with spare valve cores and a key. It pumped up my tire from completely flat to 30psi in about 5 mins, way faster than changing the whole tire. Ignore the bad reviews, they obviously did not read the 1 page manual that comes with it! Save yourself some trouble and read it while you're waiting for your tire to inflate. The kit is for emergencies only, not your everyday use air compressor. If this is what you're planning on using it for then I doubt it will last very long. It says to not let it run longer than 10 mins or something or it shuts off automatically because it is too hot. Unplug it and let it cool down (like any air compressor), then you can use it again. It also clearly states not to rely on the built in pressure gauge (again, like all air compressors) and it comes with a manual tire gauge to check the pressure before you take off.

The one thing I am slightly disappointed with is the bottle of slime is for ATV/Mower tires only, you shouldn't put it in your car tire. It worked for me cause I didn't need to use it and the only thing I use slime in is bike and mower tires anyway cause it is a pain to clean out of the tire and rim when you change a tire (I do mine myself so that's why I care). They do sell slime for highway use anywhere if you really want to add it to your kit.

Long story short, I'm very happy with this kit so far and am buying one for my dad and grandpa for Christmas!

was excited to get this item in.. going to test this for my house hold (i am a former mechanic team lead for a ford dealership) and see if i like it and than buy one for my dad and mom for xmas.

packaging was nice. i like the case and how it was organized.

i like what it came with - a pretty comprehensive kit that had extra schrader valves, tier plugs, battery adaptors (important to me so i dont blow cigarette adaptor fuse) and what looks like a long hose and power line.

what a disappointment.
the gauge didnt read correctly. my hand tire guage read it at 30 and this in pump gauge read it at 26? consistantly 4-6 psi lower across the board. i even tried a different hand gauge and same result. From other reviews of other pumps, this is an 'industry standard' i guess... most pumps like this are off.

so i connected it up and thought i can make due.. what a hunk of junk. i connected it all and sat.. and sat.. and sat. 10+ minutes to add 4 psi to a tire??? air was flowing correctly. i used to properly. just such a small pump i guess. i mean i dont have THAT much time to sit and wait for all the tires to pump up when its only that fast. 10 mins for 4 psi.. i understand that it 'pumps' its own air and doesnt store air for ready supply.. but can u imagine being on the side of the road and having to go from flat to full (i have my own tire repair kit so yea, flat tire i can fix no problem).
going to 36 psi @ 10 min per 4 psi - i would sit and wait 90 minutes.
lol
junkjunkjunkjunk

will be returning asap

the dang thing broke down on my third used.
I used it to pump my car tires on the third time the dang thing over heats and shuts down.
the platick coil hose keep breaking at the feeting.
DONT PURCHASE THIS PUMP. NOTHIG BUT PAIN.

MY OLD PUMP LASTED ME OVER 8 YEARS AND I USED FRICUENTLY, TO BAD MY X KEPT THE THANG THING.
