If you didn't have the [Titan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roxon-flex-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apo5c) 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! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Inflatable Tire Change Pods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop portable, inflatable tire change pods to enable easy and efficient tire changes on the go. - **Automotive Self-service Tools:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a range of self-service tools for car maintenance, such as the Titan Exhaust Air Jack, to empower individuals with basic skills and reduce reliance on external services. - **Urbanization Skills Gap:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design educational programs or apps that bridge the skills gap caused by urbanization, helping individuals acquire basic car maintenance skills like changing a flat tire. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Tools and Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative tools and equipment for car maintenance, catering to the growing urban population. - **Automotive Education and Training:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer specialized education and training programs for urban dwellers to acquire essential car maintenance skills. - **Mobile App Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create mobile apps that provide step-by-step guidance and virtual training for basic automotive skills like changing tires. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Ventus-Pro.md) - [Multifunctional Tire Air Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-air-pump.md) - [Cordless Handheld Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tire-inflator.md) - [Smart Inflation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x8-apex.md) - [Multifunctional Inflator Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeus-air.md) - [5-in-1 Car Utility Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jumpac.md) - [Automated Tire-Changing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tire-changing-system.md) - [Handheld Touchscreen Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-cordless-tire-inflator.md) - [Smart-Designed Tire Inflators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartdesigned-tire-inflator.md)
