      I believe so....a necessity in modern tire shops...beats the old ether and match trick for safety....

        Yes. Just air.. I have a portable tank that I thought was empty as my son just filled it with 125#, guage was showing "0" Took the clamp off... Wow!
        A friend used to make tanks like that.. Big pipe, ball valve and flatten the end.. Works great as you see in the video..

          Yes it's just air released in a hugh way! It's to make the bead up on tires. My son works for Allied tires and fixes 18 wheeler tires all day.

            Same idea as the blast of air from the bottom on tire machines..
