AirMan ResQ Pro+ Tire Repair Kit

Anyone who either works around construction sites or who drives long distances should have one of these in the trunk. I did an exhaustive Google search for professional reviews for emergency roadside tire inflation products and this had by far the best results. Consumer Reports, Car and Driver, etc consistently ranked this thing as the best. Unlike those “fix a flat” things in a spray can, this has an actual mini air compressor with an integrated sealing compound that will not only inflate your flat tire but will also seal the puncture. Full disclosure, I’ve never had to actually use this thing in an emergency, but I bought one for all 5 of our cars and after multiple hot summers in the trunk in Florida the air compressors remain fully charged and ready. It also comes with its own tidy little canvas storage bag to keep it clean and protected. YES, it’s expensive. But if you’ve got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere or far from home, you’ll be so glad you have this robust kit and not one of those cheap spray cans.

We were heading home from a Scout camp with our son, it was 10:00pm, pitch black night since we were in a VERY woodsy rural area, we were almost 200 miles from home, and we had a trunk filled with camping gear so the small spare tire would have been really hard to get to. As soon as we rolled out of the gravel driveway to the camp and onto the asphalt road I could tell the tire was flat. I pulled out the AirMan ResQ Pro+ tire repair kit from my trunk and tried just inflating the tire....it filled in about two minutes and we set out to try to get to the first service station and see if the air pressure was holding. We made it about 10 miles to the station and saw that the tire was going flat again. I switched the dial on the tire repair kit and injected the sealant into the tire and it started inflating again. We kept the speed to right around 50mph and we made it over 190 miles home and then to the tire shop the next day to get new tires. Worked as promised, it was easy to use, and the lighted tire pressure gauge was clear and easy to read. I definitely recommend this product to folks.

Not sure about the other reviews this is a small inexpensive air compressor with light and repair fluid. Had a slow leak in one of my car tires. Seemed to fix the leak, I used the product as directed. But purchased a 6 gallon air compressor cause the one it comes with just seem like yeah it might quit working at some point rather have a compressor that I know will work at home. I know this is meant as a Hey keep it in the car use when and if I need it but I was home already and just need to fix the leak there so product worked right out of the box. Would give it 5 stars but as others have stated this is a small compressor that may break when you need it most. Just an FYI

I arrived at the airport to pickup a family member, and discovered my tire was almost totally flat. I pulled a few feet ahead to get out of the traffic flow, and setup my AirMan ResQ Pro+. 10 minutes later, we were on our way home. The next morning, it was holding air fine. I drove to my mechanic, and he found a large screw in the tire which he plugged while I waited. I just ordered two refills so I am prepared for whatever comes next.Tip: I noticed the packaging had very clear illustrated instructions on one side of the box. I cut this panel off the box, and stuck it inside the carry bag supplied with the unit. I am glad I did, because these instruction were easier to read than the small notations on the unit itself.

This is a must have product to have in your trunk! I have purchased four of these kits for various cars in my household, including two for vehicles that have run flat tires installed. I would rather limp home on a temporarily repaired and fully inflated tire rather than depend on the run flat's stiff sidewall to get me home.The Pro+ kit is so simple even a caveman, or my wife, could manager it easily on the roadside. Plus the sealant has a 6 year shelf life, much longer than some competitor kits.This is also a great product for those of you with sports cars (or any car for that matter) who want to get away from your run flats to cut down on the associated noise and ride stiffness. I switched my run flats on my C5 Corvette for conventional high performance Michelin tires and just keep this AirMan kit in the cargo compartment for tire emergencies. The difference in ride and noise is remarkable with the same performance.

Very poor quality. I bought this for peace of mind. I had it until I needed to use this piece of junk. It looks good, but you don't know until you have to use it. Flat on side of highway last week. No problem, I thought. WRONG. First attempted use, the yellowish/orangish 'key' that you have to turn in order to activate SNAPPED IN HALF. The cheapest plastic you can imagine. Cars whizzing by me. I am searching my car for a tool that I can use to try to turn the knob that the plastic key was attached to. I found a multi-tool in my car with a small plyers. Saved, so I thought. I turned the knob to flow the white sealant into the tire and turned it on - making lots of noise but no sealant flowing. I could see the white liquid in the container, but it wouldn't flow out of the container and into the tire. Double Fail - cheapo plastic 'key' snapped in half, and then the thing doesn't work anyway. I had to drive on the flat for 3 miles to get off the highway, damaging my rim in the process. From now on, I will just carry fix a flat aerosol and a small separate compressor. It will cost me 1/2 and will actually work.

Many vehicles come with run flats these days.On my last several vehicles that came with run flats I choose to order a spare when available and replace the run flats with standard inflatable tires. On this last vehicle I choose to not carry the extra weight of a spare and ordered this Airman ResQ kit instead.I have an improved ride quality with standard inflatable tires and the peace of mind that I will not be stranded by a simple flat tire. Not to mention that I will not be buying two sets of expensive run flats over the course of 30,000 miles.
