That's a handy looking bit of kit..
Have you or anyone else looking used one..
I've used high and low pressure air bags in my old job but never seen one run off the exhaust...
Just wondering how long it takes to inflate off the exhaust and any likely problems with modern vehicles and sensors...
I'm thinking exhaust back pressure..
Anyone???
Re the alloy wheels.. never had them but a mate has them on a new car... he couldn't believe what it took to shift them with a sledge... greased and replaced them and a month or two later still had a job and still needed a big hammer..

Yes I've used them . work a treat. inflate on exhaust in no time. Back in the late 80's we never even used anything to protect the bags. They didn't cost much either.
We even used to use them for changing 4' square air conditioning outlets 26' in the air off of a single man hoist & using a compressed air line for inflation. Amazing the things that you can use them for. I thought that they had vanished & you couldn't buy them anymore.
I'll have to track one down next time in Uk.
Never even heard of that one.Most breakdown services carry "universal spare wheels" along with adaptors to enable them to fit the majority of modern cars with five-stud wheels, nowadays don't they?
