I'm in the Idaho outback, and no matter where I go... even in my own territory... I can seem to find a way to get something to puncture a tire. I have a Chevy K2500 and a Ford Expedition, and getting a spare from storage, assembling all the jack parts, jacking up the car, changing a tire and then putting everything back in place is reason enough to own one of these kits. Now I buy my slime liquid by the gallon and fill smaller containers because on vehicles, wheelbarrows, garden tractors, and other equipment with inflatable tires, this is the most practical and easiest solution to flat tires and slow leaks. I even gave up the cameras because the sharp cheat grass is like bungee sticks for tires. The valve stem remover is part of the plastic bottle cap and you are better off using metal and a replacement valve stem like the Slime 20088 kit... I dropped the valve stem in the snow once and didn't find it pumped that much. the bus without him is impossible. Also, you should have a connection kit like the Slime 1034-A... or another product that suits you. I just hooked up and pumped up my truck tire (LT245-75R16) with this pump and it brought it to 45 pounds but it wasn't fast and I kept the car running because a flat tire is just as bad as a dead battery . I'm 45 miles from the nearest city and my county is the size of Rhode Island with just 5,000 residents. So the apartment might leave me stranded for a while and towing is very expensive so I'm a happy camper with this kit. as well as some additions to my two cars.
