Thoughts on my tire inflator/deflator, possibility of selling?

Everything sold on this forum, by any vendor, can be made by someone else. Sometimes for less, sometimes not.

I don’t see how “I can build it myself for less” is anything with relevant meaning. You pay for convenience with every ready made product you buy.

OP, a bunch of people spent too much money on a similar setup just recently, if you want to compete with that company, the market may be there. As stated before me, there are a lot of other options, but for direct competition, you might have a product with better pricing.

Good luck.

 

I always like to hear what people say. I feel like companies could learn a lot by listening to their customers...

 

Do you have a link?

 

Thanks for the kind words! I agree lots of us can build things, maybe for cheaper, but you can't underestimate the masses when it comes to buy over build and how much you can save when you buy from someone who bought bulk parts.

Thank you! I'm really hoping I can get the market of people who don't quite have $200+ to spend on something like this.

 

Yessir!

Here you go:

 

I will buy a 2 tire set up.
Too lazy to invest the time to build it myself.

 

If you guys give me a week I can have some ready to go.

Go for it.... The convenience of not having to chase parts themselves is worth a buck or two to most people.

If you start selling them to the general public you might want to change the name. "Quick Air" is already spoken for by and automotive "air" compressor, etc company.....

 

That's part of what I figured. It's taken me about a month to get it to this price.

Oh interesting, I guess I'll have to think of something more clever...

Okay I think I've figured out pricing for the dual tire system. As with the 4 tire setup I will be offering 2 models, a normal and a pro model. The cheaper one comes with the non Haltec chucks, 25' of total hose, and the cross 4 way fitting. Priced $55 without a bag and $70 with a bag. It's offered in Green, Yellow, Lime Green, Turquoise, and Blue.

The pro dual tire setup offers Haltec chucks, 25' of hose, and the hexagon 4 way fitting. Priced $75 without bag and $90 with bag. It is also offered in all the colors as the normal one plus Red, and Orange.

I have parts ordered to make all 4 models which I will have completed by the end of the week if ya'll are interested in seeing them.

Have a great week!

 

Hi,
Those prices are with or without shipping?

 

Without. Shipping is probably gonna be around $15 so I'll do +$10 for shipping.

 

I'm in for a pro dual tire setup without the case.

 

PM Sent!!

 

I am interested in seeing where you're able to take this. Might have to pick me up one. I wouldn't mind learning and doing it myself (seen the IDY thread by @Shellshock) but I also don't mind supporting small business.

Also, you're offering red hose! I like me some red.

 

I always appreciate business but totally understand DIYing!

Who doesn't love some red?

 

Update on the dual version:

I wanted to show to show guys the pro dual system I have been working on.

It has 25' of total hose so you can criss-cross across almost any vehicle if need be.


Nice Haltec AirChucks for fast and convenient connections.


And the nice hexagonal manifold. I also found a new source for ball valves which have a much much more sturdy handle then my last supplier.


This one has been shipped to my 1st TW customer! I can say the orange hose looks really good and if I were to make another one for myself I would probably use this hose.

I also brain stormed some names with my family this week and one that stuck out to me was AirRocket (thought of by my mother, of all people!).
Let me know what you guys think, both on the name and the product.

Thanks!

 

Oh I forgot to mention, I ordered some of the black hose to see if I liked it and it was hot garbage! So black hose is off the menu for now
