Milton 518 Analog Tire Inflator with Accurate Pressure Gauge for Easy Tire Inflation

swtrader: These clips have a good (maybe close to Great) bite. Gauge, flexibility, and length of wires are satisfactory. Gifted a set so that should be an indication of my satisfaction.

James L Moore: Expensive but worth it. The straight clip on tip allows my wife and kid to put air in tires without having to wrangle a regular air chuck and try to hold it straight on the valve stem while getting a reading.

I am quite picky: I had a cheaper one but cant find it. I wanted a better quality one seems how i was in need again so i figured i will try this Milton. I may keep this one in the truck so i don't misplace it like that previous one.
This pics online of this dont do it justice, this is a solidly built tool. The PSI window didnt look very readable in the pics but its a lot better than the pics show. Very pleased with this, i seem to get a lot of tire leaks going from site to site in construction.

KRISTOPHER GASMEN: It doesn't work without air-hose attached when I use it just for gauge-reading.

Korwiin: This unit is the real deal, built to outlast me, I am sure my kids and grandkids will inherit this tool someday.

I had been using a cheap inflator that came in a pack of accessories from one of the big name national home repair stores, the gauge was junk and was dangerously unpredictable, so I was forced to swap between inflator, and separate gauge. Enough was enough. First thing I noticed when using the new Milton unit is how fast the pressure increased on the tire. Interesting to note the cheaper inflator has small diameter internals which restricted airflow, the Milton unit does not. Simple physics for smart people, a major discovery for me, and a huge time saver. The chuck stays attached to the valve stem and maintains good seal. The orange hose is long enough I can stand up and operate the inflator, saving my knees.

Value = Benefit - Price. This unit delivers value, not only in quality, but you will save time, and save wear & tear on your knees.

Kevin M Midbust: Used it to air up some tires and air up some newly installed 11r24.5 truck tires.

4 stars because a person shouldn't have to tighten the deflator button nut to stop it from leaking air.

The grip on air chuck leaves a person wanting as it doesn't seem to grip on very well and can be fussy with the angle of the air hose. Ideally you want to be off to the side while airing up the tire with this and the chuck can be tough to keep angled correctly if you don't have the hose just right. If you pull the hose off to the side the air chuck may go wonky and just leak air out of the chuck and the tire. (Though part of my difficulty with the air chuck may be my valve stems being a little worn.) I'll probably find a better air chuck to use.

Reading the pressure gauge is easy enough though it does seem backwards. But you get used to it.

Jared K.: Air leaks where the factory installed hose meets gage. Other than that works fine after I got it sealed up

Brandon: Works great! Stays latched, high-flow, accurate gauge. Seems like I could run it over & it wouldn’t hurt it (I won’t test that theory).

NorthLatitude: Very well made and convenient to use. Built in gauge seems accurate when compared with my Milton tire pressure gauge. The air bleed button is a nice feature if you happen to overpressure while inflating...you can release some air by pressing the button, without having to disconnect the chuck. The 5 foot hose is nice to have when airing up high pressure tires since you can stand off to the side, out of harms way while inflating the tire.
