Review on Slime 50107 Smart Emergency Repair by Bhanu Hays

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Disposable bottle and inaccurate pressure readings but I'm glad I have them. :)

As mentioned in the title, the bottle is for single use only. I mean there is no BOTTLE but the content is there. I bought it primarily for a garden tractor tire that I don't want to spend $60 to replace so I expect two uses from it, but I have a $20 air compressor which is one of those best buys. my life stuff, but it's quite large, about the size of a shoe box, so I liked the idea of having one so tiny to keep in the truck, which I do. So far I've only pumped up the tires on the tractor. with that, and as mentioned in the title, the pressure readings on the block aren't accurate - also a plus on my old one - but I can "measure" by pressing my foot on the bad tire until the pressure with the good tire matches, and when I use it in my truck, I just remove the compressor and check it with my digital meter - a bit awkward, but still. I didn't notice until I got it that the sealant stays liquid. So if you park on a bad part of the tire, it goes back down - it doesn't permanently close the hole. Maybe this is how all these "fix" things work, or maybe it makes this guy safer for the tire? In any case, he's good enough. As it is for single use only, the nice ziplock pouch that comes with the kit will not fit the bottle with the hose and filler cap attached, but the compressor cord and hose will fit the bottle. the unit itself, so you can leave the compressor OR buy replacement seals and keep it all in one bag. I probably will unless I find something better.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Weight
