5 Gallon Air Tire Bead Seater 145 PSI Blaster Tool Seating Tire Inflator with Gauge Car Truck ATV Tractor Tank Heavy Duty (Red)

I removed the product from the cardboard box and set it on it's steel frame base. The pressure gage is horizontally mounted to the side of the tank, so you need to look down on it to view it. The photo is exactly what I saw. I then immediately looked for any product info, but there was NONE. My first immediate impression was the question "Is the glass cracked or something dislodged internally?" I lifted the product and slowly moved about in various directions and realized that the gage was partially filled with a clear and viscous liquid (kind of like "mineral" oil). I have owned and still have several air tanks, all with gages, but none have or ever been liquid filled. There was no leakage around this product's gage, so I gave the benefit of doubt that it's present condition was most likely manufacturer intended.There was nothing to advise a first time user of proper instructions or safety concerns, since for the product to do its stated job it must fire like the "Air Cannon" that it really is. I had seen this product used at my local tire shop, so I had an Idea of what to expect. Without the inclusion of product necessary paperwork, I'm not sure all important info (not included with product) would be intuitive to a first time user, nor should the manufacture assume that every buyer has the knowledge and experience on product proper usage and safety.The tank discharge is controlled by a "ballcock" valve operated by a lever. After filling the tank with 120 PSI, the valve was so difficult to open quickly enough to allow the discharge to be the kind of blast that could actually inflate the tire and seal the bead. The discharge was nothing like the ear protection type needed from the blast from a similar product used at my local tire shop. Nevertheless, I kept at it ("firing of the discharge") until I was satisfied that it would be comparable to local shop product that I know works. I did not as yet try it on tire bead sealing, but have no doubt (and feel satisfied) that it will perform as the manufacturer intended.

Small valve was broken when it arrived. Big valve leaked. I had to replace the small one and when I finally got the big valve to seal and not leak the lever was on the bottom. After performing these repairs to this inflator. It does seam to work. Just poor quality. I would expect to not have to dissamble and reassemble new tools so they work "somewhat" properly.

fittings leak air tried to tighten fittings did,nt help am sending back if i can

Took 2 weeks to deliver, then had to go to the hardware store and replace crappie accessories that either broke or didn't work correctly.
