Review on 🚗 EPAUTO 255 PSI Tire Inflator with Digital Gauge, Hose, and Quick Connect Plug by Santiago Serrano

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not for precision applications

This may work well for certain applications, but I found it very annoying when connected to my porter cable flat compressor for the following reasons: 1) connection to what I was pumping, was bad and leaking so I had to hold the nipple on the inflation valve with one hand to pump it up. 2) You can't modulate air flowers because by gently squeezing the handle, you release air from what you pour into it. 3) Basically it's either a full bang with the trigger fully pulled or it's blown away. I had to fill bottle jacks in a Quickjack BL5000 jack system that requires 35 to 50 psi. There are warnings not to exceed 50psi for safety reasons. With this inflator, I would set the compressor at 50psi, but it stops pumping air once the gauge reads about 30. If I increase the compressor at all, say to 60, this inflator will prevent me from slowly introducing air. instead it blows at full power and the scale jumps to 55 or 58. Then if I try to deflate a bit, today it blows about 25 air. Luckily my bottle didn't explode. If they designed it so that light compression pushed the air out slowly so you could modulate the fill that would be nice. Exact results are not possible in my situation.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Safety
