Found this in a ditch while walking the dog (I know, but really I did). It has what looks like a standard Schrader valve, working pressure 30 bar, volume 0.95 L. Has anyone tried to use something similar to mount tubeless tires? What else do I need? Hoping it would save buying this https://www.worldwidecyclery.com/products/schwalbe-tire-booster-tubless-tire-inflator?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&msclkid=eb21fe6e11e21e8a58609bc0b3b6f97d

Alot of component companies make tyre fillers that accept mini co2 carts.
That’s drugs
Give it a shot since it’s free, but it doesn’t seem very cost effective to buy new. You’d need to find some sort of adapter to make it fit on your valve and I imagine pressure goes down significantly after some use so it’ll stop working at some point. That 640g tank is $30+ each on Amazon. An Airshot is $70 on Amazon and you can pretty much reuse it forever.
That is a whipit for losing braincells. For tubeless either that thing you have linked, or check for deals on a compressor from your local hardware place or craigslist. I got a little compressor for like $100 and got a decent head for $30. Id say get the compressor as it shouldnt be too much more and it can help in more way that the tanks can. We had one of those tanks in our shop to try and they werent as good as the compressor, theyll work but for consistency, id spend the extra.

I pretty much copied what’s in the first video with decent results. Cost me maybe ~$15, and is still usable as a pressure sprayer, if I have need for one.
that’s not a schrader valve, but you might be able to get a fitting to adapt it.
it would make a fine accumulator
I mean maybe?
But I would try to get a fresh one, not one that a druggie dumped in a ditch for god knows how long, even 4 or 5 bar or pressure can launch a valve quite far and hard
I think that was a hack for getting high.
