So helpful! I'm glad I bought it. Increasing tire pressure at 8 tires to PM is now very easy. It would be better if the head was shaped like a standard double chuck, but I see it would be more difficult to build. The internal twin can pose a problem if the stem is not perfectly positioned. If you have small holes on the outer edge; pass through this inflator; because the shape of the head does not allow to go to the inner dual. Some DS-1 valve caps are not suitable for this due to the shape of…

Best since sliced ​​bread

I *really* like this pump. I seriously considered buying this as it's relatively expensive compared to many other tire pumps, but I'm very glad I did. It is very well built and the cartridge mechanism is superb. I have quite a few pieces of equipment including backhoes, tractors etc and this compressor greatly reduces the amount of twisting and twisting required to keep everything inflated and running. If you work with heavy equipment at all, it will improve your life. buy today Serious. It's…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • No instructions

Expensive but you get what you pay for.

My air chuck wasn't working very well so I bought a Milton (553) heavy truck tire gauge with a 5ft air hose. The price was high but after looking at the photos I decided I needed it. So far it works great. It snaps right over the air valve and the pressure gauge on it is right on. At first my concern was that if you don't attach it to the valve stem and push the button, air will leak out of both "double heads", so I was confused. But after reading about it on the Milton web site, I learned that

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Will not fit all

Top Quality Made in America Quick Connect Valve

Received an early Christmas present, this item is GREAT! You can tell the quality is the same as it used to be when you saw them at full service gas stations. Aside from this new model having a tire quick deflation valve, just press it and squeeze the lever to inflate the tire and release to see the air pressure (there is also a deflation button to deflate). Disconnect the quick connect to become free. (Very nice in this winter weather) I see some people had problems with their meter in 2015…

  • Feel Good

You ABSOLUTELY get what you pay for

UPDATE: I'm finally ready to go from an electric air compressor to a CO2 system. I called Milton customer service (very friendly and helpful people) to confirm it's safe. They have assured me that the Milton 553 is rated for a maximum of 160psi which is perfectly safe for my CO2 which runs at 150psi and their gear has been tested 40 degrees below temp so cold is not a problem either. the best air tube sensor I have ever used. When I was a kid, they were at every gas station in America that had…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • A little wrinkled

Maybe I have a version of "Friday Noon ".

Currently in exchange. The release button constantly lets air through. I also had to tighten the double leg lining several times. I contacted Milton through their website to see if they would send me a new air release button but received no response. I have been using Milton equipment professionally for 20 years. and this is the first time i have a problem. Maybe the second time is nice. Updated 11/18/2015: Many thanks to Revain for the smooth exchange. I received my replacement quickly, so…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Compatibility
