Slime 50001 Power Sport Smart Spair Review

Slime 50001 Power Sport Smart Spair
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Obviously, this product is for "emergencies" and I ran into that situation this week on a 2000 mile trip to West Texas. A flat front tire with no determined cause equaled a $792 tow to the closest motorcycle repair shop, but luckily, I purchased the Slime 50001 Power Sport Smart Spair and had it with me. I followed the directions, hooked the compressor to my Battery Tender Quick Disconnect, filled the tire to 30 lbs, and wah lah - It held!! Highly recommended for anyone doing any type of motorcycle touring in locations far far away from civilization!

Slime Bucket Tubeless Sealant with Pump - 1 Gallon Jug Review

Slime Bucket Tubeless Sealant with Pump - 1 Gallon Jug
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I started using this stuff a couple of years ago and I have to tell you that it is one of the most useful products I have introduced to the place.
I use this Slime a lot, ergo the gallon size. I have numerous and varied garden equipment, mowers, yard tractors and bicycles as do a number of nearby relatives. The tires on these vehicles were constantly developing slow leaks...well, actually some where not so slow, and this stuff has pretty well cured that. We have a lot of thorns here and simply put we sort of live out in the woods.
The pump action on this container; which is actually a measuring device, makes administering this stuff a snap. If you follow the directions on the container, which are quite simple and direct, you can hardly go wrong.
To be honest, I have started putting this stuff in the tires of even new machines I buy even though the tires are new. It eliminates the small punctures which invariably happen at the wrong time. This is particular true with my bicycles. I have not had a flat since I started using this stuff.
The price here is quite good; much better than I can find it locally.
I have tried this once on one of our cars. We had a slow leak and upon examination I found a very small bit of wire which was causing the problem. I removed the wire, applied this slime and all was well. That was over six months ago and as I check the pressure in all of our vehicles constantly, I can assure you that the Slime worked quite well. It should also be noted that I have a number of close family members who are in construction...nails, nails, nails and more nails! I have converted them and they all use this product now and it has cut down on their flats by at least 90 percent! The other 10 percent is that they insist on taking their trucks into places never meant to be driven in...go figure.
It will not though; after reading some of the reviews here an in other areas, that this product is only good for what it is meant to be used for. It will not fix leaky valve stems. It will not fix cuts and tears on the side of the tires. It will not fix rusty or bent wheels and it is not a cure all for extending the life of tires that were never meant to be used past a certain point. Safety wise, tires are one of the most important parts of your care and something you really should not take a chance with. If there is any doubt in your mind you really need to have an expert check the problem out and go from there.
Anyway, this is good stuff and I do highly recommend it.

Slime 40001 Power Sport Tire Inflator Review

Slime 40001 Power Sport Tire Inflator

I 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 product since a few tube of air catridges cost just as much as this.

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator Review

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator
Average Reviews:

I'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 Powerspair - 48 Piece Kit Tire Repair Kit Review

Slime Powerspair - 48 Piece Kit Tire Repair Kit
Average Reviews:

The 12v pump in the kit pumps very fast and is probably the best 12v inflator that I have come across. Comes with everything you need to plug a tire, and a large container of wonderful slime. Also has a long hose with quick connects and the case is really nice. The only thing that is bad about this kit is the air gauge. It is really cheaply made. It has a very cool LED thing at the bottom that lights it up but the plastic holding it on is very small and it was broken off on arival. There are also tools to take out the air valves etc..
Overall a great kit, and all you need to carry in your car for emergency tire needs.
