[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1392243, member: 13598"] I'm also a sticky string guy, used them a few times. I have a small Slime pump that fits nicely under the seat with a battery tender cable adapter to plug into. As mentioned above, I also replace the glue every yr and the strings every 2 or 3 yrs. I also tossed a Leatherman multitool in my tool kit for the knife to cut the plug off and the pliers sometimes needed to thread the string thru the installation tool. Also, if you decide to go this way, spend the extra 3 or 4 $$ and get T handled reamer and installer. So much easier than the straight handled ones. I don't see where anyone has mentioned it yet- DO NOT PLAN ON USING THE GLOVE BOX AUX POWER SUPPLY FOR AN AIR COMPRESSOR. The glove box is an AUX supply for small loads like phone, gps, etc. It is fused at 3 amps and will not handle a 7-12 amp air compressor. That's why you see where many folks list another power source for this. [/QUOTE]
