Review on πŸ”§ Slime 40061 Power Sport Tire Inflator: Optimal for Motorcycles, ATVs/UTVs & Compact Cars by Daniel Shivashankar

Revainrating 1 out of 5

First use - Compressor leaks

Read a lot of good reviews but ended up with a defective product. Unfortunately, when I found out about this, the return period had long passed. When I first received the product I tested it in my garage to make sure it worked. It turned on well and I felt like it was blowing air. Big! Packed in with the rest of the toolbox and that was it. When I was out and about on my ADV bike last weekend, I had to air the tires more than usual because of the weather. I wasn't worried because I knew I had this compressor with me and I could air it out at the end of the trail. It wasn't like that. Once I attached the hose to the valve stem it couldn't handle the pressure and seemed to be leaking through the compressor/housing. Even when I turned it on, it didn't build up enough pressure to inflate the tire, but kept losing pressure in the tire. I had to limp on my motorcycle about 15 miles to the nearest gas station to get some air. It would be a disaster if I was in the middle of the desert and far from civilization. Buyer Warning.
