New 5 Gallon/10 Gallon Air Tire Bead Seater Blaster Tool Seating Inflator Truck ATV 145PSI (5 Gallon)

Does the job and right price tag! Own a tire business and use daily. I've had it over a year!

Purchased this to seat a stubborn bead on a new tire I had mounted on the front wheel of my motorcycle. I'm a DIY type and refused to pay extra to a tire shop for something I can do at a better price for myself. There wasn't much info. On the Web as far as this being used on motorcycle tires, but i'm writing this to let the skeptics know that the 10 gallon air blaster worked like a charm for me. I no longer have to fight a stubborn tire bead setting. I would have followed the pressure recommendations on the side of the tank, but had to guess-timate the pressure for my motorcycle tire as there is no guideline for it. I found that 55 to 65 psi works great for seating motorcycle beads. The greater volume of air from the 10 gallon tank seams to be a factor as well. If your not sure, just use a lower pressure and work your way up in 5 psi increments until you find that that right blast of pressure to seat the bead. There were no exacting instructions with this thing so you have to be somewhat confident in your own abilities to assemble and use this. I sat my blaster tank on the ground, on top of a 2x6 and 4x4 wood blocks I had cut. I used these blocke to achieve about a 35 degree angle of the blaster nozzle into the bead area of the tire. This also allowed me to concentrate on holding the nozzle to the tire and made it easier to release the pressure handle. I watched so many videos, of people using these things, trying to stand or squat while cradling the tank and juggling the tank while simultaneously , pressing the nozzle into position and releasing the pressure handle knocking them selves off balance. I was able to achieve my bead setting with less animation. Needless to say, my stubborn motorcycle tire bead setting frustrations have been blasted away by this product.

Good price. This tank works and would purchase again. The only drawback is the air pressure gauge is not in PSIG (its metric). You must assemble the tank upon receipt. The 1 1/2 pelican valve is ok, don't expect it to be comparable to the quality of valves sold at Homedepot or Lowes, but it does the job. I have used the tank over a docen times since it arrived and so far it gets a thumb's up. For the priced paid it is ok if you are an occasional user. The carbord box it arrivec in held together just enough to get to to my house. Tank does not come with assembly instructions and quality is ok.

At First I Was Going To Return It For The 10 Gal, Or A Bigger One As I Thought It Would Not Be Big Enough For My 19.5 Inch Tires. The Day I Was Going To Send It Out I Was Installing 4 New Continental 19.5, 225/70, A Very Stiff Tire, Was Out Of Starting Fluid So I Assembled This Blaster And Used It. One Blast And That Was All It Took To Seat The Bead. I Am Very Happy With This Blaster. Its Light And Easy To Pack Around, Ive Used This About 50 Plus Times And So Far Its Been Great. I Give It 5 Stars

Set a troublesome tire bead without a problem.

Received product in good packaging and high quality pressure gauge. The ball valve handle it very cheap, does not fit tight but would possibly serve its purpose but the nylon lining inside the valve was messed up on the one I ordered. Not only would it not seal but it mad it really hard to move the handle and impossible to completely close. Emailed seller who asked me to send pics or video of the problem. Sorry I don't have time for that crap. easier to just pick up a quality one next time I am at my local hardware store. Would I buy again? No. But easier to fix it than return it. Boo on the sellers who want video or pics. Maybe I will post a video or pic here so everyone knows what they have a chance on dealing with.

easy to use, does the job

The media could not be loaded. I would have liked two jam nuts. The safety valve has a slow leak, so no long term air storage.
