Yes, I have used it to fill my wife's car tires. She has a tire that slow leaks and I have used this to fill it. Nobody seems to know how to fix the leak.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have used it for my car tire. It works great. But for the whole tire from flat tire, I donot recommend it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It works fine on car tires. I have used it just to add 4-5 pounds so I don't know if you can inflate a completely flat tire (my guess is no). I have checked the pressure indicator using a different tire pressure indicator with a dial and the reading is the same.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'd like to revise my initial impression answer. I realized that there are different settings (car, motorcycle, etc...). I don't know if they do anything different, but I just used car and it worked perfectly. I started it, fully-charged (4 bars), and the tire was at 29 (max of 50). If inflated to 50 in about 10 minutes and has 2 bars of battery left. I'm doing a second tire, now. I think it will end up working, just fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I received the inflator, yesterday. It had 3 of the 4 bars lit. I put it on one of my car tires. It read the current pressure as 33 and the tire says the max is 60. I set the inflator at 55 and let it run. I went and did some other things. My wife checked it, at one point, and she said that it was at 48. It eventually stopped. I'm not sure if it was finished, if it overheated, or the battery ran out. I tried turning it back on, and it would not, so I assume the battery was depleted. The hose and top of the inflater were quite warm. I plugged it in and it showed 1 bar of battery and a thermometer icon. It took it off the charger at 3 bars and went to air up another tire. Again, I had it set to 55 and let it run. I don't recall what the pressure said it was, but I'm going to assume that it was in the 30s (none of my tires were low enough for the warning to show on the dash). After a while, I noticed that I didn't hear it running. I went and got it and plugged it in (assuming that the battery died, again). This time, there were still 3 bars on the battery and the thermometer icon was displayed. My guess is that it's overheating. The description says that it can fill a motorcycle tire in 27 seconds (28-35 psi). When I did the first tire, it seems like it was a good minute or so to go from 33 to 34. Obviously, it will take more testing (and I'll have to pay attention, instead of just leaving and letting it run). Overall, I haven't been impressed. Keep in mind, though, it is a small device and it's mainly designed for low usage (5 psi top-offs, balls, etc...). I'm sure that I am pushing it beyond its design. JJ
