NOW with a larger 400ml sealant bottle for even better car tyre sealing.
NOW with a Presta valve adapter so you can inflate nearly all bicycle tyres.
Millions of cars are now being sold without spare wheels, so owners no longer have the ability to change a wheel when they get a puncture. Instead, the car companies offer an aerosol sealant spray in a can – which rarely works: the sealant is too weak to seal a normal hole and the air in the can is insufficient to reinflate the tyre. Or, the car manufacturer offers a kit with a compressor and a bottle of sealant. These OEM kits are usually very cheaply made – the compressor is not powerful enough and the sealant has a shelf life so that just when you need it, it will not seal the hole.
Then of course there are also millions of drivers who do not know how to change a wheel, or do not want to.
The Compressor
An award winning product (‘Which’ consumer magazine Best Buy), it cannot be compared to the machines used by most of the competition, who offer cheap compressors that will take many minutes and overheat when called upon to inflate car tyres, and which are prone to early failure. They also have the cheap circular analogue dials that are hopelessly inaccurate. And you have to monitor them while in use and switch them off at the right time.
The Get-u-Home™ compressor is powerful, inflating the average car tyre to 30 psi/2.1 BAR in 5 minutes without overheating. It is digital – you select exactly the pressure you need (in psi or BAR) and press Start: the compressor does the rest, inflating accurately to the right pressure and then turning off automatically. Simple: and a boon when you want to ensure all your tyres are correct according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. Regular use of the Get-u-Home™ compressor will lengthen your tyres’ life and save you money, as well as optimising your handling and security.
It doesn’t stop there: the unit includes a powerful LED lamp for night-time application, and the lamp can be switched to red flashing mode to warn approaching traffic.
Powered by the 12V auxiliary socket/ cigarette lighter in your car, the 3 metre cable is sufficient for most vehicles. And there are adapters that fit into the nozzle of the air line, so you can also use the unit to blow up bicycle tyres, footballs and other inflatables.
The Sealant
For the first tine there is a puncture repair kit that features the World’s Favourite Sealant, made in the UK by OKO and on sale through distributors in over 80 countries.
Too many kits are using feeble ‘me-too’ sealants that do not last in the bottle. They lose their sealing ability and often they separate so that the active ingredients sink to the bottom. When called upon to seal a hole in a tyre, they will not hold their seal. OKO lasts as long as your car does: and it is the strongest product available.
OKO provides a 400ml Get-u-Home™ bottle that is the right amount to seal a hole of up to 7mm diameter in the tread area of the tyre. (No sealant will seal a sidewall puncture). No measuring is required: you simply unscrew the valve core (the remover is in the bottle cap) and squeeze in the whole bottle content using the tube provided, (blow some air through the valve stem with the compressor hose if needed to clear it), replace the valve core and inflate using the compressor. Then drive off for a short distance: recheck the tyre pressure and top up if needed, then drive home (at up to 50 mph/80 km/hr) or to the nearest garage to replace the tyre safely.
Replacement bottles of Get-u-Home™ sealant are available so that the user can have a complete kit again, ready for the next emergency.
And of course the kit can be used to repair tyres/tubes on bicycles and motorbikes as well as other small vehicles: all you need is a handy car auxiliary socket.
The Package
OKO Get-u-Home™ is packaged in a handy zipped clear plastic pouch that makes it easy to stow in a car boot/trunk. Basic instructions are given in a wide range of languages, and there is a more detailed booklet in English.
A QR code has been included on the packaging that links, when scanned, to the new OKO animated video which (without words, so it is suitable for any country) gives you easy-to-follow instructions on how to use the kit to mend and reinflate your tyre.
Approvals, Registrations and Certifications:
The compressor is certified with the CE marking following documented safety testing. OKO sealant is manufactured with full ISO 9001 quality approval. OKO Get-u-Home™ is a registered trademark in all major countries.
Why Get-U-Home is the best choice emergency compressor kit
Competitive advantages over nearly all the competition (even the most expensive original equipment ones from car makers):
Digital compressor with auto-stop, accurate and selectable to 0.5 psi. You never have to visit the garage again for an accurate tyre check and pump-up.
(Others: analogue with no auto stop, no clear reading and inaccurate dial that can be 3 or more psi out from actual pressure, causing imbalance and premature tyre wear)
Robust, proven compressor, faster inflation, no overheating – can run for 30 minutes
(Others: slower, noisier, hotter, often fail in use – the one in the best known kit overheats after 10 min. and you must then leave it for 25 min. to cool)
Bright LED safety lamp for night-time, also red flashing and SOS functions to alert other drivers (Others: most have no lamp due to cost saving)
Seals tread punctures up to 7mm (Others: 3-6 mm)
Latex-free, no allergy danger (some others contain natural latex that causes allergies in many people and is bad for wheels and tyres)
Standard OKO replacement bottle, economical (some other kits have expensive, hard-to-find one-off bottles with dedicated connector units)
