Reviews for ARB 171302V2 Tire Inflation Kit
The photo needs to be updated: the socket for the compressor is now rubber-coated so you don't burn your fingers. (The socket should come with the ARB dual compressor; they omit it so you must buy this kit to get it.) The hose material is stiff and remembers that it was tightly rolled up. This may be nice for storage, but it fights you, tangling itself up, when in use. Also, ARB does not provide info on temperature range for use. Some hoses can split or shatter in use at freezing temperatures, so this concerns me. I'd use the hose that I already have, but it has female connections on both ends. Maybe I'll find a gender changing adapter.
Pretty much purchased this just to get the rubber coated air jack to connect to my compressor. The hose is made of plastic which will last about one Michigan winter. It will just be used as a backup hose in my recovery bag.
the hose itself is fine its small and compact however the end piece that locks on air stem for filling is absolute junk
this kit is convenient. But honestly you can go to local hardware store and buy the parts and put it together your self for less. That being said the things in this kit are very good quality. The tire inflation is great and self locking.
The one thing I don't like is there is nothing to protect the female connection that is on the pump. Dirt and trash can get in it and clog it. I had to make my own. I used a normal male air line connection a washer the sidenof a US nickle and some epoxi stick. I used the epoxy to fill in the hole in the connection then covered the treads to make a little grip. I used the washer to go between the male and female connection to block out more dirt. Was less then $5 to make it.
