W212 Tirefit compressor!

Really impressive how good it working! Only tested pump this time but when I got flat tire I will doing a video how good the foam working!

You may consider buy this really good to have for backup. If I am right this kit only come if you not have spare tire package? Because in mine car I got no jack!

I would be more interested how long it will take to fill 10th tire.
I was using those cheap small compressors for air bags and trailer tire and the 200psi compressor would inflate 1st tire in 4 minutes, 2nd tire in 6 minutes, 8th tire in 15 minutes and 10th tire would never get 50psi.
Finally bought good quality compressor by Firestone, but those run about $200.
On other hand, I salvaged dynamic seats compressor. It is fin design, so more efficient than piston and pumps 35 psi. from much smaller design.
Still on my TD list to see how it would work for emergency tire inflation, but I've got spare donut wheel for my W212 as driving long distances on 120F (45C) deserts - service for shredded tire can become big issue.

Understand your point! But only thinking about to use this for small tire leak to get to tire shop or like If you need to top up air! Not think this are made to fill more than one tire you may break it fast if you fill many tires at one.
