Powerbuilt Tire Inflator with Pressure Gauge 220 PSI for Cars, Bikes - 240217, Black

I'm surprised this has not been reviewed yet, I suppose it's because it's a tad pricey for a tire inflator.You get what your paying for, this seems to be a lifetime sort of tool acquisition.The main assembly is solidly built, meant to be left on your garage floor and operated by foot; though you could easily work it by hand also.The gauge is small, the pressure graduations are crowded and hard to read; though it does include both psi and bar scales.The hose is long, with a combined schrader and presta valve connection that is solid and engages without leaks. The connection is a tad fiddly though, and while the hose seems adequately robust it has no real abrasion protection and I suspect it will be the weak point in the unit.There is also an included needle adapter to fill sports balls and the like. The nicest part of this connector is that it's 90 degrees, which means it's easier to connect to motorcycle tire valve stems.The included directions are clear and well written, though it mentions thread sealing tape was supposed to be included for the air hose coupling nipple; there was no sealing tape in the kit. The coupling nipple is for a 3/8 hose quick connect, but when I tried replacing it with a larger one to match my air system it was very difficult to remove. It seems they tried to permanently install the connector nipple when they should leave it easy to replace and include the sealing tape as the directions promise.I took off a star because of the combined small deficiencies, but it still seems to be a nice unit.

Cannot figure out how to attach to tire valve, very strange hookup, and I am very familiar with mechanical items, just not this and no instructions, bought a different one to end frustration

The hose is flimsy and the darn thing actually fell apart during the first use. For $45 I expected a better unit. Don’t buy.
