This product works great. Everyone needs on. Hands free attachment makes it easy to use.
It is easier to keep on the tire stem than the wand inflator. I have used this once on all four tires and found it worked as advertised. Overall, a major improvement over my old inflator. The pressure gauge reading was high (but consistantly high) by about 2 pounds--easy to adjust for. I got this to replace the wand-like inflator that came in a standard Craftsman tire inflation kit. The clip didn't get in the way, though it may pull the hose out of alignment when set too far on the stem causing air to leak out of the tire. I recommend it. It is a nice feature, though, I don't have to hold it on the stem.
The chuck and clip design doesn't work on some of my tires; it won't go deep enough on the tire stem. I'm going to buy another inflator. I saw this mentioned in a few other reviews. Besides that, the spring in the clip slipped out yesterday and keeps popping out even after I disassembled/reassembled the clip - there is no detent to hold the spring's "foot" on the metal base so it slips out repeatedly.
Gauge did not work immediately upon opening package and attaching to air hose. Poor quality control.
Good about this tire inflator is the pressure release button. I would give this unit 5 stars if it had a standard tire chuck with a 2 feet hose instead of this non-functional "clip-on" design. Bad is the "clip-on hands-free design" because it does not work: air is hissing out at all times because the hose is too stiff and too short hence pulling at the clip. The only way to use this unit is to keep the hose pressed onto the tire with one hand while making pressure adjustments with the other hand.
