Review on Milton S-530 Compact Digital Tire Inflator: 255 PSI, Dual Head Air Chuck, Backlit Display by Joseph Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The most accurate in its price range; Made in the USA

Pros: Made in the USA. Accuracy is ±0.5psi which is one of the most accurate tire gauges you can buy at any price point. I've spent hours browsing manufacturer websites and no other sensor came close to +/- 0.5psi across the full range. Pivoting head. The bleeder valve only bleeds a small amount of air at a time, which is good as it allows you to accurately and slowly bleed air from an over-inflated tire. Cons: The pros far outweigh the cons, but there are cons as well. I want the backlit display to stay on for a few more seconds. When it arrives you will need to remove the rubber bumper to remove the piece of plastic protecting the AAA batteries. Then it's a little bit of a hassle to screw the hose back on, but you'll figure it out. Comes without instructions. You need to buy a 1/4" NPT air hose quick connector if you want to connect it to the air hose.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability by testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
