S60430 Aerosol Emergency Flat Tire Repair and Inflator, for Large Tires, Eco-Friendly Formula, Universal Fit for All Cars and Small Trucks/SUVs, 20 oz. (Pack of 1)

Works great wow. Worth every dollar! Works wonders on a small leak. Keeps my tire full again! Very good quality product! Must have. Keep one as back up just in case.

I purchased this can of Fix-A-Flat to fix, what I believe, is a rim leak on my truck tire which needs to be filled once every week or so. When I attempted to use the product I let some air out of the tire (down to 25 psi) so it would be easier to dispense the contents. The instructions on the can say to have the valve on the tire at the 6 o'clock...which I did as well. When I attempted to make the connection using the swivel connector on the can's hose it was difficult. The hose on the can is very short and stiff and because it came coiled in the can's lid, did not want to straighten out making connecting it to the tire a very awkward process. It was hard to screw the hose end on the valve without it binding so it felt like it was cross-threading. I have machined aluminum valve caps and they go one very easily so I know the threads on the tire's valve stem are clean. I finally did get it on and when I attempted to dispense the contents it filled the hose but that was about it. I could not see any contents flowing thru the hose at all. I assumed it was not on far enough so I took it off to try again and the contents sprayed everywhere showing it was indeed under pressure....just not going into the tire. After multiple tries the hose end eventually just broke off and stayed on the tire's valve stem. I was able to get it off, but at this point the can is useless to me. Obviously I cannot and will not recommend this product. I have used this product before and had success, but that was when the hose was longer and wired to the side of the can making it much easier to use, versus how they are shipped now. I would recommend going with another product or possible going to a box store (which is what I plan to do) to find one that does not have this design. At the very least, if you do choose to disregard this review, I would try it with the tire's valve stem at the 3 or 9 o'clock position which might make it easier to thread the hose end on to the valve stem,. Also, if you choose to go this route you might just be throwing your money away. I attempted to get a refund from Amazon and was directed to the manufacture's web site. From there you are directed to use the 800 number of leave a general message that is in no way connected to your Amazon purchase. Past experience tells me it will not be an easy process so it looks like I am out the $12.

Luckily I haven't used this one but have used them before. As long as you have a small nail/screw hole on the tread area... (-not on the sidewall, if the whole is in the sidewall, save your time & swap tires or call a tow truck)... & haven't lost all the air you'll be ok. Just don't pull the nail or scre put. Just screw the stuff on and start blasting it in there. Drive slowly first few mins then chek it.. if your air pressure is still low go for can 2 or just get to a shop with Air (good luck) - this stuff is meant as a quick fix. Can't just leave it in the like Slime.. this is just to get to to a service station that actually does tires

Pros: highly recommended, as it works immediately to stop any slow leaks in my 'vintage' (ok, old) tires. Saves the cost & effort of having to go to the tire store for a repair. Also a great safety item for folks who aren't comfortable changing a flat, or waiting for roadside assistance. Cons (mild): noticed that 1 can is probably not adequate to re-inflate a flat tire enough to safely drive to a service station. Therefore suggest keep 2 cans of it in the trunk, just in case.

Ideal companion to my tire inflator. A can which one easily uses to repair the actual flat by simply attaching to the tire the same as the inflator.
