Review on Inflator Inflation Campbell Hausfeld MP600000AV by Philip Wagner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

looks like great quality to me

Despite the super cheap price this seems like great quality to me. I got it not long ago, so I can't comment on durability. But compared to $112 for the item I was looking at, I can buy 10 of these before I start losing money! So I converted that to Presta for bike tires for about $10. Many bike shops use the Air Bob inflator or the new Park Tool Shop inflator. Is it expensive. Here's what you need to do: Buy this and buy a replacement Air Bob head (google it and you'll see a couple of places that sell it for around $9 - your local store can also buy it for you ). You cut off the end of the shredder and insert the air cap that comes with the hose clamp. You only need to make a piece of rigging: the fitting on the Air Bob is too small for the hose of this inflator. Of course you want a tight, airtight fit. I went to the hardware store and bought 1/4" OD / .17" (or 3/16") ID vinyl tubing. It had an ID that fit the Air Bob head and an OD that fit in fitted the inflator hose. It worked like a pad. Hose clamp tightened and everything was perfect! The SKS is a little too low, I think it's ideal! (Also, as long as the gauge is constant, that's all that matters - you just don't want to that here it's 2psi higher, 10psi lower, etc. . .d. )(If you want to try this and have questions, leave a comment.)

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly
