This product is so great it makes me want to move some of my other ratings down to a mere 4 stars to illustrate the relative greatness. It only took a minute to install on my air compressor hose and then I quickly and accurately inflated the tires on two vehicles and three bikes. I was disappointed when I ran out of tires to inflate. :(

This should make the chore much more enjoyable when it's freezing out. Before I had a bare metal inflator with no guage that had to be pressed hard against the stem to inflate tires. This could be uncomfortable - especially in cold weather - and the process had to be repeated after checking the pressure with a separate guage.

Now, I just connect it to the valve stem (though it can slip a little if too much force is applied via the rather stiff hose) and the rest of the inflation is pretty much a one-handed operation which should even be possible while wearing gloves in cold weather.

Nothing like adding comfort and ease of use to the chore of keeping tires properly inflated for family safety and fuel efficiency.

Clamps down well, host is flexible, fitting doesn't leak. It has a "guillotine" style clamp on the end of it and it clamps down really well - I"ve only had one time it required me to hold it down. The gauge is probably crap in terms of acccracy - it's good enough for reference - I usually check each tire (or air spring) with 2 separate good digital gauges, and it's usually about 4 pounds or so different than the digital gauges. The fitting on the compressor side doesn't leak, which is a plus, so many of them do - the piece feels like quality consistent with it's low price - good enough for home use, probably not the best idea for a shop.

This inflator works very well and, most importantly, is accurate. I bought a similar one from HF but that gauge was inaccurate and the plastic body had several leaks. This one has a metal body and the gauge is very accurate - reading the exact same as my JACO Elite gauge (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010A6B6KG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage).

This inflator has a brass button that you can use to deflate the tires. This comes in very handy when it's time to rotate the tires on my Cadillac as the back tires require 5psi more than the front tires. The button lets me quickly bleed the rear tires down to the correct pressure for the front.

My only complaint is that the body is too small to fit in my hand comfortably, but I don't consider that a deal breaker. Also, I left it outside when the temperature went down to 5 degrees F and the rubber hose was pretty stiff. I don't fault the product because after a few minutes in the 5 degree temperature I was stiff too.

I have used this inflator on a Cadillac, an Infiniti, a Suburban, and an old vintage Jaguar and had no issues with the hose clamping onto the valve stem.

This has become a favorite tool for my wife to use. I was a little leery of purchasing this due to some poor reviews on the product when I was buying. I wanted a quality tire gauge that I could easily fill and read the pressure in 1 tool. This is the answer!

I've bought several of these to give as gifts as whenever anyone comes over and sees the gauge/inflator in the garage they express how they need something like that. For $12 (at time of writing this) that is a simple gift to give to someone.

I installed a quick release using a good teflon tape. When I say good, I don't mean the white stuff. I have had mixed results with that junky thin white tape, so I spend the extra buck or two and buy the Oatey Heavy Tape, or Mega Tape when I am at the store. This stuff costs $2 and takes way less wraps to give you a quality seal. If people are complaining about leaks, it's likely the junk tape they are using.
I've had this tool in my garage for a year now and it is used by both my Wife and myself. In MN when it gets cold it's time to inflate those tires and this tool makes it simple and quick when it's -20 and you need to get to work.

I recently bought this because I was so tired of the pressure your tire up, check it with a gauge, repeat and hope you don't mess up the angle and leak the air out just to start over again. I have had a pretty good experience with it so far. The built in gauge and relief valve button are very convenient. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because of a sealing issue I have with it that I discuss in con #2 below. Overall I definitely recommend this. Remember you will need an adapter to connect to an air hose as this does not have one built in or come with one.

Pros:
1. Very convenient!

2. Gauge seems accurate when compared to other gauges I have.

3. The tool feels well made. It has a heft to it that you want to have in your tools.

The 2 Cons I have are:
1. You have to connect your own pneumatic connector to the bottom. (This may be standard on these types of tools when purchased new but I didn't realize. Luckily I did have a couple of extra and some Teflon tape.)

2. I have an issue keeping the seal on the schrader valve. It will hold initially but with added pressure pushes itself off and starts to leak. You have to physically hold it against the valve. This is common on most inflators but with this one there is a mechanism at the end to hold the inflator to the tire with a spring powered "gate" of sorts. It either isn't strong enough or the overlap in the sealing rubber in the end is too much and pushed back against the valve. I seem to remember other comments about this but not sure if it was on this product or another. I have been meaning to trim the sealing rubber a little on the inside and try that.
