Coolest bit of DIY I've seen in a while! What pressure will it hold? What pressure fittings did you use?

I had one that I wrapped in gaffa tape to increase the strength a bit and it easily held 150psi. Two old valves stuck through the lid with a bit of epoxy and a 5mm i.d. hose of your choice, zip-tied on to one of the valves (with valve core removed). It helps to have a third had to kink the exit hose until you want to release the blast. That way it's someone else's head next to the tire too. ;)

Pressure fittings? LOL. It's just a couple of valves cut out of tubes, maybe with some plumbing tape around them to keep a better seal. With this you only need 2-3 bar to get the tyre to pop onto the rim. I've not tested max pressure but the hose will normally pop off before anything else happens.

I built an inflator out of a couple of old tubes, hose and a lemonade bottle. It actually fucking worked too.
