Have you ever been stuck with a flat and had no idea what to do? If you didn't have the Titan Exhaust Air Jack, chances are, you wasted money on a service to aid you or risked your life by flagging down a stranger. Ladies, even you could change a tire with this gadget.
As more and more people move to urban centres and rely heavily on technology and service from others, many people are forgetting the basic skills they would have used frquently if they lived in the country. This applies heavily to driving a car.
Tasks like include changing the oil, re-filling the anti-freeeze and yes, even using a car jack to change a flat tire. The first two still require lessons or a look at a manual, but the third could be done by anyone. All you need is the Titan Exhaust Air Jack ($130). Just toss the orange bag under your car's lift point, connect the hose to the tailpipe and presto, your car is lifted off the ground and your tire is ready to be changed.
Please remember not to touch the tail pipe until it has cooled or let out the air in the bag inside your car, as the last time I did that I woke up in a hospital with partial brain damage from carbon monoxide. But seriously, this product is awesome, requires next to no work and can be easily stored back into your car for future use.
So the next time you drive over a spike strip, don't fret. Just whip out the Titan, and get your car papapapumped up!
