Review on πŸ”’ Haltec H-5265 Lock-On Air Chuck with Standard Bore by Roel Lebron

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work well on cars

A small part here but this product sucks on car valves. I have two main concerns: the head is much larger than standard air chucks and difficult to install. The first problem occurs when the valve stem is not long enough and/or you have limited access to the valve stem. It will work but I had to reseat the cartridge several times to get it working. Once he sits down, you can inflate him with one hand. But with an ordinary cartridge that you have to hold tight, it works the first time. The second problem is the sliding mechanism. I understand it's for Jeeps or other SUVs, but it was recommended on one of the YouTube channels I follow where it's for vehicle-related tasks. The yoke seems very stiff, coupled with difficult access to cars, it has often not sat well. I've also noticed that the airflow seems to be less compared to the regular cartridge I'm using. Maybe it's a closed design that retains pressure after detaching, or something else but slower to inflate. I ended up sending it back as it didn't meet my requirements. If you have easy access to the valve stems and need something that locks so you can inflate with one hand (or multiple wheels at once), this will likely work.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
