I would not reccommend using this product without a hose and a strong stream of water. The complete rinsing is important. I also wipe down my wheels after using the product to get all residual chemicals off the wheel.

it is strong stuff works great but not sure how you would use it without water

I haven't thought about that yet, since it's only my first year in August. My guess is take it outside and blow it off with a compressor or if you don't have one; take it to the nearest gas station where they fill up air for tires and blow it off

you could just use your hand.....howver your hand gets tired, isnt always available, and tires out.....it's not like there very expensive anyhow. just my .02

My husband used his air compressor. Any gas station would have one for tires. Maybe you could try that for free?I even use this great exercise ball at my desk to get exercise while typing away!

I'm not an expert but I think there might be something wrong with the gear mechanism. My wheels are locked and do not move unless hooked to hose. I don't think your wheels should move freely if not hooked to hose. You might want to contact Orbit. You can reach them at 1-800-488-6156 or www.orbitonline.com

Easily but would take forever. Airbags have low volume so easy to fill. A truck tire would either burn up the pump or you'd have to do it in bursts and let it cool between

The wheel should bolt right up and handle those tires no problem with your car. We have the wheels and tires available if you want them. Thanks!

All you will need is an air chuck. They sell them separately but I recommend buying the combination kit which also includes the quick connect adapters, a blow gun and sometimes a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. I think this compressor is an outstanding deal. I use mine as a portable air tank. I air it up in my garage. When it reaches pressure and shuts off I disconnect the electrical plug and carry it out to the car and truck in the driveway. You not only save dragging out and winding up the extension but connecting it directly to the wall plug avoids the possibility of overloading the extension cord if it is not a heavy enough gauge.

I have used this unit on my car tires with no problem. I just had to thread or screw on the hose to the tire valve and then turned on the air compressor. I found it easier to connect the hose when I removed the rubber hood. Yes, air does escape when you unscrew it so I put in a couple of pounds extra before I unscrewed the hose. BTW, this unit is very quiet. You could air your ties at 6AM and not bother the neighbors.

Technically you can do that but I don't recommend it. Detaching it may work but eventually the axle will crack or snap off. Like I said in my review, don't detach the wheel from its base and you'll be fine. Just rinse it with water, dry what you can, and let the hard to reach areas dry off on their own for about a day. Hope that helps and thanks for your question.

Place the magnet on tire air valve, the valve in the middle hole. Use the car computer instructions to reset your TPMS one wheel at a time. Once you begin you must finish all wheels within ~5minutes. I used it on my Corvette and it worked very well. If this information is not clear enough, just google it to get helping instructions. There are also a pretty good Utube instructions. Good Luck!

The owners manual gives you instructions on how to reset. You don't need a tool. You may just need to deflate each tire in the order given.

The tire valve is NOT easily removable. It is crimped on. If you're creative and handy you could cut the hose and add your own needle assembly. It is a well made tool also.

You can top off car/truck by pumping the handle...but it will take more time than gravity flow.

Like any compressor, the hose will always fly out unless you hold it. Hold hose end in one hand and disengage with the other

The same thing happened to me. I went to my local auto parts store and purchased a metal valve end for the hose. It works great and is very sturdy. You need to have an end on your hose in order to use the air to fill tires, etc. Hope this helps

I got a portable air tank and fitted a hose and nozzle for about $40. Works great and can be carried to flat tires. Some gas stations offer "free air" just look for the highest psi.
