Reads up to 150 psi, when the maximum pressure ever needed is 34 psi.

You've obviously never had a car with a spacesaver spare wheel. The
pressure in these is much higher - maybe 60psi.

Correct. The car in question has no spare of any sort. Hence including a
compressor and sealer in the toolkit.


I'm intrigued David- I thought you drove an old Rover, old enough to
have proper spare wheel. (I'm going by your comments elsewhere.)
Did the old Rovers not have spare wheels? I thought the habit of not
having any spare (even a space saver) was a plague of modern cars.
