Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator Review

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty Tire InflatorI'm writing this review because the Amazon description doesn't inform you that you NEED 15 amps to power the device as clearly stated in the owner's manual. Unfortunately, I didn't know this before purchase so when I plugged it into my Honda Pilot which only supplies 10 amps, it didn't work. I called Slime customer service who confirmed that all their products require 15 amps.

Check your car owner's manual to make sure your power socket supplies 15 amps!

I'm giving it 5 stars because the device itself looks very high quality with a nice storage case. Slime customer service was also speedy and helpful. Too bad the Amazon item description was inadequate.

UPDATE: I have since bought the Black & Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator which works great with my car.

Slime COMP03 12-Volt Air Compressor with Gauge and Light (300 PSI) Review

Slime COMP03 12-Volt Air Compressor with Gauge and LightI used the compressor to add air to 4 tires, approx. 5-7 psi per tire and it worked fine, didn't take too long.However, there are 2 problems with the device - 1. After adding air to 2 tires the rubber inside the nozzle was already ripping and becoming unattached so that it would get in the way when trying to connect it to the valve stem, after 4 tires it was very ripped up.2. The compressor vibrates so much that you can't put it onthe ground while running or it falls over.I guess that's the price you pay for the light weight of the compressor.While the rubber seal is a concern, it's not enough for me to return the compressor because it did work.I only hope the seal doesn't get so bad that the nozzle won't keep a good connection with the valve stem.

70P VIAIR Portable Air Compressor Kit 00073-Quick Fill of Tires Rafts Inflatables-Includes Protective Case Review

70P VIAIR Portable Air Compressor Kit 00073-Quick Fill of Tires Rafts Inflatables-Includes Protective CaseI've had 3 different combo-style compressors for auto use, and this one is by far the best built, quietest, most accurate, most compact, and the fastest of the bunch.

I did also buy an EZ Air Tire Gauge to add in line to enable the fitting to auto clamp onto the tire valve, and also for an additional pressure gauge.

I really love it and recommmend to anyone.

Q Industries MV89G Green SuperFlow Air Compressor Review

Q Industries MV89G Green SuperFlow Air CompressorI purchased this compressor on Amazon.Com. When I received it, it had a broken buckle on the carring bag, and one of the battery clips was completely in pieces, (broken), very tinny and cheaply made.
I returned it immediately, and would not advise anyone to waste their money on this item.
This is the poorest quality product that I have ever gotten from Amazon.com, and if I receive anything in the future that falls into this grade of JUNK, I will find other merchants to buy from.

Slime 40001 Power Sport Tire Inflator Review

Slime 40001 Power Sport Tire InflatorI have been looking for a portable tire inflator I can use for my motorcycle and with the lack of choices, I deicded to give the Slime Tire Inflator a try.The inflator is really small (a little larger than the palm as the picture indicates) and comes with a case that fit all the wires and the unit itself.The unit draws power only from the battery so you can't plug it into a power outlet from your house.You can either draw power with the alligator clip, a pre wired power source (just like the ones from battery tender), or from a cigarette lighter source.Operation is pretty simple too.You just connect the hose to the unit, connect the power cable and draw power from the battery from whatever one of the three above methods and flip the power switch on the unit.

Now the bad... since it's being labeled as a portable inflator, the casing of the unit look very cheap and filmsy.Just like the previous reviewer mentioned, the unit is obnoxiously loud and vibrates like crazy.Finally, it did take almost 5 minutes to inflate my motorcycle tire from 20 to 30psi so I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone trying it on much larger car tires.The owners manual did say that users should not use the unit for more than 8 minutes at a time which I assume wouldn't even be sufficient to add 5 psi of air into a car tire.

Overall, I think the product does a good job of inflating small tires on the go but I am very concerned about its useable life.With the way the unit vibrates while inflating tires and the filmsy looking case, I would not place much confidence on it to last forever.However, if you own a motorycle/ATV and need an inflator on the go, I would suggest this productsince a few tube of air catridges cost just as much as this.

Slime 22038 Compact Tire Plug Kit with Storage Handle Review

Slime 22038 Compact Tire Plug Kit with Storage HandleThis is a nice compact kit that I hope I never need... but as the Boy Scouts say .... "Be Prepared"!

Like others here I was confused by the two apparently "extra" tools; I had expected only a cleaner & a plug inserter. I shot the company an e-mail and got this prompt reply:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. The Needle that is open at the very top of the eye - to be used per the directions on auto tires.

2. The Needle that is open along the side of the eye - to be used with ATV tires as per the directions (this type of needle would get caught on the steel belts of an automotive tire, and works much better with an ATV type tire.)

3. The Needle that is completely closed is to be used like the #1 needle able, BUT once the needle is strung, it would be inserted ALL the way into the tire and pulled out half way; then cut off. (Same basic function, just really a matter of preference)

We included all three of these so that the option that you are familiar with and/or most comfortable with are available.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I am only going to keep the regular inserter and the rasp with the kit which I think will leave room in the handle for all the gear with no left-overs (I'm traveling right now so am not 100% sure on that but think it should work).
