Review on CRAFTSMAN CMXZTSG1005NB Dual-Function Air 🔧 Inflator and Gauge, 1/4-inch, Black and Yellow by Erik Haynes

The package does not include the quick disconnect connector required to connect to the compressor. This wasn't a problem for me as I also had a compressor accessory kit with connectors, but all I understand is that you need a connector. In my opinion this product is ok. Right out of the box, everything seems reasonably well done. It comes with a tire changer. The carving appears to be well finished. I have good gaskets that connect the chuck and quick disconnects to the hose with teflon tape. From the compressor to the tire changer, there were no leaks anywhere in the system. The pressure relief valve worked well and relieved pressure when I overshot. The air trigger worked well to start and stop airflow from the compressor and as mentioned everything was tight and leak free. I've used it on low pressure (20psi) snowblower tires and my car tires. I found the cartridge a little finicky to get a good seal on the tire valves, but that was fine. It was cold and I was wearing thick gloves, so maybe it was "operator error". The gauge wasn't very useful for accurate inflation, especially for low pressure tires. This will take you to the stadium, but that's about it. You need a good pressure gauge to inflate everything accurately. I really hoped the pressure gauge would work well as I find it time consuming and annoying to switch from an inflator to a pressure gauge. Unfortunately, as I said, this sensor is no better than other sensors of this type that I have used in the past. Nothing special about this tool. I go through these gas generators about every two years. This is usually a rubber hose that breaks with repeated flexing. I suspect this inflator will perform as well as others I've had in the past, but only time will tell.
