🔧 Milton 518 Analog Tire Inflator with Pressure Gauge: Efficient and OSHA Compliant Tire Pump Review

I use this cartridge when I put airplane tires in my hay wagon. The van has split rims and there is always a risk of inflating the split rims. So this cartridge allows me to secure the end of the tire and get it to a safe area to inflate. The Milton gauge is the best of the best and I have a similar one with a shorter tube that I use to inflate my tires regularly. But the clip at the end works very well and I used this cartridge this morning. Don't waste your money on imported gauges that mimic

This is one of those things that every hot rodder and serviceman dreams of owning one day. And it's really not that expensive. Unless you think you can go to your local parts store and pick up a cheap Chinese item of a similar design for about a third of the price. But it's flimsy garbage. This is a durable, high quality, American made tool that will last for years with minimal maintenance. I can easily fill a tire up to 1 PSIG. Blast or bleed, it works as intended. Some others are difficult or

Assembly and fit are good. I tested this with another counter that I trust. The clamp is ok but a little wobbly and if pressed a little it will leak. When inflating tires, the display appears upside down due to the way it tracks tire pressure. You just have to twist your brain to compensate. The exhaust valve also appears to be on the wrong side, almost requiring two-handed operation. Another problem is that the rubber hose does not have a protective sleeve where it enters the steel case. The…

Used for deflating some tires and for deflating freshly mounted 11r24.5 truck tires. 4 stars because the person does not have to tighten the deflator knob nut. to prevent air leakage. The grip on the air chuck leaves a lot to be desired as it doesn't seem to hold up very well and can be finicky with the angle of the air hose. Ideally you don't want to get in the way when you pop the tire and the cartridge can be difficult to keep at the right angle if you don't have the tube in the right place.

This instrument is a real bargain, built to outlive me, I'm sure my children and grandchildren will inherit this instrument one day. From the well known national hardware stores the gauge was junk and dangerously unpredictable so I had to replace the inflator and a separate gauge. Enough was enough. The first thing that struck me when using the new Milton block was how quickly the tire pressure increased. It is interesting to note that the cheaper inflator has small diameter internals that…
