Review on πŸ”§ CTA Tools 1936 Straight On Chuck - Ideal for 14'' Applications by Reginald Truitt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A straight head may or may not be what you want

This looks like a quality product. And that's when you want exactly the configuration that fits. I needed an angle head to get to the inner stem of the dual valve. I also needed an extended pipe without fittings to get the angle right on the inner valve stem. The 6" air chuck is sufficient, but due to the reinforced fastener holding the clutch, it grazed the edge of the hole in the outer twin wheel, resulting in an incorrect angle. A straight head is not suitable for setting it at right angles. I bought a 6 inch tilt head airbox so figured I could just unbolt it and swap it out. The pipe thread on this product is not a standard pipe thread, and the pipe is slightly smaller than the standard thread. I was able to screw the air chuck angle head to the end of this tube and it works great for an internal double chuck. But when I tried to use an if on an outer dual wheel using the "pull" side of the dual head, the head detached from the end of the tube. So I reassembled it with additional teflon tape and I think it will seal and hold for the "push" function. I'm going to use a different air chuck for the outer dual wheels as it shouldn't be too long so I don't risk removing the head again. I'd rather buy with a curved head. Make sure it's the right product for you.
