The appliance mechanic must have a tool!

I love this tire inflator! I'm a Heavy Equipment Mechanic dealing with large Volvo, Cat, Terex etc tires. Before purchasing this Milton compressor I used a large diameter cartridge which was blocked by tilting it in the correct direction on the valve stem and then used a separate lg gauge to check the pressure in psi. My other option was to use my Astro Digital inflator with a regular stem and screw-in adapter. Both options were far from ideal and are now a thing of the past. Checking and inflating tires is almost fun with this Milton inflator! A six foot hose makes it a much safer option! The quick release chuck is ideal for large stems. It was a little tricky to fix completely by hand the first time, but after spraying a small amount of WD-40 on the cartridge it wasn't a problem. The built-in pressure gauge is also very easy to read. The bottom line is when you are dealing with heavy equipment this inflator/gauge is a must have and a time saver! Get one! Currently!
