There's a reason we called the 10-foot extension hose with the clip-on chuck and the ball valve on the other end a "chicken line"! I had to threaten to fire a guy at the truck shop I managed who was going to air up a 3-piece rim by reaching over the removable piece instead of using a cage and an extension hose. He finally turned the tire over with the ring facing the floor. He had gotten about 30 PSI into it when the ring let go. It left a perfect impression of the ring in the concrete floor about 1/4" deep. He finally got over being whizzed off at me for saving his life- - - - -about two weeks later! He wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed!
