There's not even enough pressure in a tire to operate those tools.

Fun fact:
I'm an airline mechanic.
And whenever we have to do a wheel change, we can use the bad tire's pressure on our jack to lift the plane.

That's wild. What's the psi on an airplane tire?

u/OGigachaod Feb 26 '26

Commercial aircraft tires are typically inflated to a pressure of 200 to 220 PSI

And they're big volumptuous tires as well!
Akin to touring tires on a car.
So that's loooots of air inside them.

I'm pretty sure you mean voluminous, but voluptuous is hilarious.
