Review on Flexible Hose 1/4-inch Tire Inflator by Capital Pneumatics: Inflator Gun with Locking Chuck and 2-Inch Gauge by Puggzy Wallin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Requires 6 or 7 wraps of teflon tape for air seal

As a newbie I had a hard time fitting this to the quick connect hose adapter. The nut on this item was too thin for my thick plain crescent wrench. I probably needed a thinner, fixed-size public key. With 3 turns of teflon tape, the adapter still leaked air into the threads of this item. The seller/manufacturer emailed me to offer 6 or 7 band turns. I copied it as expected, now the adapter thread no longer lets any air through. The inflation valve doesn't seem to last long, but it's fine for light duty applications.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Modern
