My old Kobalt Tire Inflator broke so I am trying something different. Find out if this new cordless model can do the job.

Are you able to remove grips installed with solvent ? Or is it necessary to cut them off?
Your Kobalt died? Dang, that's the one I have. LOL The ProjectFarm yt channel did a review on cordless tire inflators in case anyone is interested in getting one more geared towards inflating tires and other more demanding things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkxpuzYggd4
That’s super cool! Are you using double sided tape like you would for solvent grips?
Awesome. Do you use the double sided masking tape or just standard everyday masking tape?
I recently removed a bunch of grips that were installed with solvent, and removing them with compressed air was a little hit or miss. It would be going pretty well, then I would come across that occasional grip that would not release and it would eventually ruin the grip, or I'd give up and just cut it off.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but this method you are demonstrating uses no solvent for installation or removal, correct? Once on, without solvent to get the glue on tape really tacky, are the grips really secure? I've always used solvent with mine, and there always seems to be a very solid bond between the grip and shaft. I've been to Topgolf a number of times, and it seems that a high percentage of their clubs have grips whose adhesive has come loose and aren't secured to the shaft. I've wondered if it's because they use a method like this. I don't know….just speculating, but I would think the solvent would help with better adhesive qualities once dry. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
