Can someone that knows about pressure in tyres please let me know wether this thing would pump tyres up.
And how many tyres if any would it pump up?
eg. 35x10.5x16 from flat to 35psi.
As my brain is running a little slow this morning.

saw these at bunnings on weekend, from the look of them, I would say not 4 tires thats for sure.. you would be better off with a compressor..
although I did see a workshop compressor there for $200 that had a removeable/portable 16ltr tank, which was a good idea I thought so u could fill it take out front of house and work on car..

Bogged i already have one of those little arlec tanks Very handy....
Just thought it might be handy if it could top up 4 tyres when you come off the beach??
At only $14.95 to swap and go one of those little tanks it might save me 1hr of pumpin tyres with my BS arb compressor and my 35s.
And I'm a Tradie so i could use it for other stuff as well..

Arb compressor, 35x10.5x16 x 4 tyres, from 10 or 12psi to 32psi takes a while.

Heard Bogged sucks the farts out of dead seagulls to inflate his tyres.

If its a CO2 liquid cylinder then it will contain a very significant quantity of gas when its expanded from the liquid state.
Might be more cost effective than some of the CO2 system made specially for 4WD's which if I remember correctly arn't cheap.
Still when its empty in the middle of nowhere your stuffed.

I know Bunnings are popping up everywhere, but central nowehere - will probably have to wait a few months.
But seriously, what happens when its half empty and your off on a trip ?
Wait and see if its ok ? Replace it just in case ? Carry a spare cylinder ?
For me these options arn't very attractive and for the space it takes up you could fit some serious compressor(s).
In fact the more I think about it the less convinced I am - but for comps would be cool.
