Rapid Tire

Hello and welcome to Empty Pockets Off-Road and Overland. We all know one of the best things you can do if you're going off-road, especially in the snow, is to deflate your tires. That is made easy with the Boulder Tools Easy Tire to Flator. The Boulder Tools Rapid Tire to Flator comes in this nice padded nylon case with a pretty cool patch. This keeps it all protected, which is nice. You can just throw it right in your glove box. So it's always right there when you need it. That's what I do. They also send you with a set of nice printed instructions. There's a little bit about their company on the front and then actual color printed instructions on the back. It didn't come wrinkly I've had this for quite a while now. Also in the bag is the actual deflator itself. Everything seems to be of great quality. I did notice that this wiggles a little bit. The metal appears to be brass. The hose itself seems to be nylon braided covering over it. The gauge is protected by this nice rubber cover, which is nice. I've dropped this a few times and it's held up, so no complaints there. You can see the gauge itself looks pretty nice. It seems to be constructed really well. It's been a great tool for me. It also provides you with this little multi-tool. I know that's for taking out the valve cores. I'm not sure what the other things do. Go ahead and Then they send you with a bag with some new valve cores and caps. Now I've already aired down today. It was a necessity with the snow conditions. I was coming out of our job site and I definitely had to air down. I'm already at about 16 psi, 16 or 17 psi from doing that. I'm just going to drop it down to five, say, to show First of all, you're just going to screw this on. The metal is knurled, so you have a little bit of a grip. You're using that middle set of grips to screw that onto the valve stem itself. Nice and tight. Then you're going to take this plunger. You're going to push it in. You'll feel it grab onto that valve stem and then you just unscrew it. You'll start to hear a little bit of air escape. It's hard to tell if that's all the way out or not. The gauge says that we're at 19. I don't know if this gauge is right or if this gauge is more accurate. Now all you do is pull it out. Press this button to release the air inside here. Now to get where you are, just press this back in. See now it says we're at 14. So pull it back out, release the pressure. About 10. There we have it. It says five. So now you just press the plunger back in. Start to turn it slowly. You'll feel it grab. Then you'll feel it get tight. Don't over tighten it. Now you can unscrew it using the middle set of knurls or grips. And you can put it away or air down your other tires. Now this doesn't even register so I'm ass When I started the day I was at 38 psi and I wasn't getting anywhere in this snow. It's not very deep but it's pretty slick and there was ice underneath on our road. But even here you can see at 16 psi versus 5 psi. Look how much more the tire is bubbled out and that's a lot more traction that you're going to get. Overall I've used this tool quite a few times and I have not been let down by it yet. It's performed perfectly and it's done exactly what I bought it to do. So I'm very happy with this product. Thank you Boulder Tools. I hope this was an informative video.
