EXELAIR Digital Pistol Grip Tire Inflator Gauge EX0500D, Easy Clip Air Chuck, Easy to Read 0.1 Display, Pistol Grip Handle, 100 PSI Max Pressure, 16" Air Hose, 1/4" NPT (PSI, kPa, Bar, and kg/cm2)

I great somewhat tired of dealing with old analogue gauges which all seemed to read different pressures, even on the same tire. At first I tried a lower priced competitors gauge but quickly returned it as sadly, it was a poorly made product and I knew it would going to fall apart.This gauge, however, is very solid and works perfectly!I wanted to purchase a higher-end Milton gauge but sadly, being retired and on a pension, just couldn't afford it. So this version was a terrific option as I'm not an actually automotive shop, but rather a decent mechanic who maintains his own vehicles and also does a great deal of custom fabrication work, welding, woodworking, electrical, and so on.This Milton tire gauge worked perfectly and it does appear the pressure readings are dead-nuts on the money!Thanks Milton for making a quality product.

Love how easy this tool it is that my wife even decided to pick up and get her hands dirty id it's good enough for my employer a fortune 500 company then it's good enough for me to use at home.

Note that my requirements for a tire inflator are a bit unusual, so some of my likes & dislikes may not be relevant to you.I've purchased a few tire inflators, and looked at many more, and so far this is the best I've found -- good enough that I'm ordering a second. I'll get to why later.But first -- there are two things I absolutely hate about this inflator:1. The "half-pull to deflate" feature. Most inflators have a trigger of some sort to inflate the tire, and a separate button to deflate. This unit integrates both into the trigger. Pull the trigger part way, and it releases air from the tire. Pull it all the way, and it inflates as expected. But there's no way to get to "inflate" and back without going through the "deflate" position twice. That's not really significant in most cases (I can still easily bump pressure up or down by 0.1 PSI), but it really bugs me. Give me a separate "deflate" button.2. The battery compartment for the pressure gauge is on the back of the gauge, covered by the protective rubber boot -- and the boot cannot be removed without either cutting it, or removing the pressure gauge. This makes it absurdly difficult to install or remove batteries. I hate leaving batteries in devices unnecessarily, because they inevitably end up leaking and destroying whatever device they're in. So the battery compartment NEEDS to be readily accessible. All this would take is an appropriatel hole in the back of the boot, sized to expose the battery compartment cover. I cut one myself, as shown in one of the photos, but it's a pain to get it right. This hole should have been designed into the boot, and the boot manufactured with the needed hole. This would not only be more functional, it would also require less material and so should be less expensive to produce.The reason I bought this particular inflator, and am buying a second, is that I've standardized on HF style quick-connects everywhere -- even for tire chucks, pressure gauges, etc. So I needed an inflator I could use with HF style quick connects that come with 1/4 NPT threads. Milton's web site specificalfly says the inlet fitting is 1/4 NPT, and careful examination of photos on several web sites implied that all air ports are the same size. Milton didn't respond to my query to confirm that, but I bought one hoping all ports would have 1/4 NPT female threads.Almost, but not quite.All ports are the same 1/4 BSPP female thread (a British standard pipe thread w. 19 threads per inch). 1/4 NPT fittings are NOT directly compatible with BSPP. Fortunately, all the needed BSP to NPT adapters were available on Amazon, so I was able to adapt all ports to the 1/4 NPT and thus to the HF quick-connects I needed, as shown in the photo.Inlet and outlet ports use threaded brass inserts, and can be mated directly with 1/45 BSPT male fittings.The pressure trandsucer port is threaded directly into the handle, and I do not trust it to be strong enough to withstand the stress from using a tapered (BSPT) male fitting. Ideally one would use a BSPP male fitting and some sort of curing sealant, but I got a good seal to a BSPT male fitting using Rectorseal T+2 sealant.I've not yet checked accuracy of the pressure gauge, but at least at first glance I've gotten what appear to be reasonable readings. It shows true 0.1 PSI resolution and responds quickly to pressure changes. So it seems entirely suitable for tire inflation. I expect to be comparing readings from 2 of these gauges against two precision (1/4 %) pressure gauges eventually, and will update this review if these are not within their +- 1 PSI spec limit.So overall I'm satisfied. But I'd be happier if the ports were 1/4 NPT instead of BSPP, the pressure gauge boot had a cutout to access the battery compartment, and the handle had a separate deflate button.But so far I've found nothing better for my needs. Every other inflator I've tried has at least one odd port with some odd thread (M11 x 1 anyone?) for which an NPT adapter is simply not available.

Garbage. A week tops…

Very high quality tool. Don't have to turn it on first, just attach it to the valve stem and you see the pressure. Accurate, reads the pressure of your air hose while filling the tire/ball/tube, then instantly reads the pressure inside the tire/ball/tube when you let go of the trigger. Put too much air in? No problem, pull the trigger halfway and it gently bleeds off. Let off the trigger, instantly see your pressure again. Better than others I have used even though this one cost less than 1/3 the price.

I have an air compressor in my garage and have kept my tires inflated using a tire pressure gauge and a standard tire inflator connector on my air hose. The procedure is to check the tire pressure, inflate the tire with some air, and repeat…until the correct tire pressure is achieved.With this new inflator, I snap it on the valve stem and read the tire pressure. I pull the handle to inflate the tire and release the handle to check the tire pressure. If I overinflate the tire, I pull the handle a little to let air out of the tire.This new way of inflating the tire to the correct pressure is so much faster!

works as described, but some drawbacks... hose a bit too short, would be more practical if display was facing you vs off to the side (couldn't modify to change angle), a bit of loud air leakage during use... positives are price, display lights up in blue automatically, display not cluttered and easy to read, seems rugged

I got my inflator, and aired all my tires up and both my tire lights went off and stayed.Air pressure in all tires correct at last. What a great tool!
