Description of π§ Astro Pneumatic Tool 3083: 2.5" Dial Tire Inflator with Locking & Dual Chucks for Optimal Tire Maintenance
Gauge is up to 2X the accuracy of the B40.1 ANSI standard with larger 2.5" diameter face for finer resolution and easier to see readings. 0-160psi range to allows for high pressures from the compressor without damaging gauge display. Pressure bleed valve button releases pressure from the tire to your desired range or clears display after checking pressure with dual chuck. Includes 15β swivel hose, dual chuck, locking chuck, and βMβ & βTβ style air fittings with thread sealant.
Gauge itself works very well for me. It inflates well and, perhaps most importantly, measures tire pressure fairly accurately. However, the breech cartridge included in the kit is clearly of poor quality (crooked and sticky breech mechanism) as is the case with every imported pump I've used. Gas generator and sensor, not for accessories.
Pros
Gauge 2x ANSI B40.1 Accuracy with 2.5 inch larger surface area for better resolution and easier reading
This item appears to be accurate and eliminates the need for a tire gauge, allowing my hands free to inflate tires without having to constantly stop to check air pressure. Now I can see how much pressure has been applied and stop when the right pressure is reached. Great article.
I don't know why I've used a separate cartridge and tire pressure gauge all my life when one was available. Facilitates the filling of tires or air shock absorbers. This is also a kind of dual function, works like a blower with a chuck attachment, just pull the trigger and the air will be blown out. Not super hard, but hard enough to blow brake dust off brake drums.
The device itself works very well for me. It connects well and firmly, inflates well and, perhaps most importantly, measures tire pressure fairly accurately. However, the included locking cartridge seems to be of poor quality (crooked and sticky locking mechanism) as is the case with every imported inflator I have used. Buy it for inflator and pressure gauge, not for accessories.
