Review on Milton S 506 Original Chuck Inflator by Marcus Braunstein

I have been using Milton fittings in all my air tools and lines for several years and I know they are good connections. When I needed a new inflator I wanted to see if Milton had one. It's more expensive than what you can usually buy in the big department stores, but I figured it would be better to buy a Milton once than every two to three years at a hardware store. I was very impressed when I opened the package. First, you need a connector to connect to your system. For most people, this is a male quick connector. Luckily I have some, so I hooked one up and started pumping up the tires. This blower is far more comfortable than any I've used. The trigger is solid, not any flimsy metal paraphernalia (first photo). The sensor is very visible (second picture) and responsive. One thing I found very nice and had never seen on an inflator before was that when you pull the trigger, which isn't attached to the stem valve, air is blown out like one of the cleaning fittings. It's really useful for blowing dirt or debris out of stem valves, as well as for general cleaning when I'm too lazy to find the right fitting. What I also noticed is that it doesn't let any air through. Most other inflators I've used leak like crazy when the trigger isn't pulled, and some of them even when the tire is inflated. It's tight and doesn't leak at all. I knew the Milton inflator would be of high quality and was pleasantly surprised at how much better it actually was. It's definitely nice to be able to use quality tools and not cheap junk. It's a tool built to last a lifetime, not something built to be used for a few years and thrown away. And now I've written far more than I ever thought possible to write about the inflator.
