EPAuto Heavy Duty 120 PSI Tire Inflator Gauge with Hose and Quick Connect Plug

I am extremely happy with the EPAuto Heavy Duty 120 PSI Tire Inflator. It works as it should and no problem with the valve connector. If you push the connector onto the tire valve stem, the air pressure gauge shows the present air pressure...then just squeeze the trigger to add air to your item. It gives a very accurate pressure reading. This makes inflating MUCH easier because you don't have to bother using a separate tire pressure gauge. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this item. I wish I had bought one of these a long time ago. Great price $15.00. You can't go wrong.

I have a small pancake style compressor that I use primarily for filling tires as I have a lot of vehicles and lots of lawn equipment with inflatable tires. For a number of years I had been using a Campell Hausefield "knock off", not a genuine CH, and the clip on valve never seemed to grab quite right. Also, the gauge stopped working years ago. I was ready to bite the bullet and order an expensive CH, when I cam upon this one with good reviews. I am very happy with it. First of all, the clip seems to work pretty well. You may have to fiddle with it, or gentlay hold it on a bit with one hand, but overall good. The gauge is easy to read and due to the fact that it only goes up to 120, the PSI between lines and numbers is realistic. I have no idea why other gauges go over 200 lbs unless those are for truck tires? I check the pressure reading with a good quality digital gauge, and when this one was showing 30 PSI on tires, the digital was only showing about 27-28.... so it could be a few lbs off. I suspect they may intentionally error on the high side on these to prevent law suits from exploding tires. Overall - so far so good - I am happy.

I really like this tire gauge, it is very simple to use and I love that it shows you the pressure in the tires as you're inflating them. Overall I give it 4 out of 5 stars. There are two reasons I knocked off a single star from this review as follows: Con 1: The connector that comes with this tire gauge is cheap and I could not get it to stop leaking air even after applying thread seal tape. Do yourself a favor and buy a quality connector set. I purchased an 8 piece quick disconnect set from Sungator off of Amazon. Makes this tire gauge airtight. Con 2: The connector that goes onto the valve stem seems a little hit and miss. Had a difficult time getting it to work on two of the eight stems I tried it on. This could be user error as well, or may be because of the quality of the valve stems themselves. Just be aware you may need to apply a little pressure to stick it on the stem good, or even hold it in place while putting air in the tire.

I am generally very considerate of the durability of anything and treat everything as if it’s fragile. I think it’s a wise approach to things and this is no exception. Plastic is not steel and cold plastic is brittle like glass, and I don’t rely on threads in things made of plastic to withstand tremendous pressures and torque, especially when temperate extremes are involved. That said, when I threaded the quick connect to the handle on this, I was very gentile and used Teflon tape and I put the handle in a padded vise, which was snugged down only enough to hold the handle steady as I threaded in the Teflon taped threaded quick connect. I used a wrench to gently tighten the threaded end only until it was snug. I made sure that the plastic was at room temperature as I did this. Not frigid cold or hot. Just room temperature. The valve clamp works perfect and the gauge on mine is actually accurate compared to a tire gauge. So, I have zero issues. I don’t toss this around, I gently place it when I am done with it. If you regard plastic as if it’s glass, you’ll get more use out of things. That’s my experience at any rate.

I misplaced my Tire Inflator connector and decided to buy another. I ran across this tool, which included the Inflator tool and a Pressure gauge all in one. There are several others to choose from, but this had one of the best prices and a gauge range closer to my needs. I have nothing that needs to be pressurized above 120psi, though it could be justified if you have a racing bicycle that uses hi-pressure tires (some of the other Tire Inflators come with a 200psi gauge). It was nice that this included a quick-connect stem compatible with a ¼” coupler. You still need to connect it to the hand-grip, and you will need Teflon Tape for a tight seal. But at this time, I saw no similar unit that included it. The chuck, which connects to the valve stem, was better than any of the rubberized connectors I’ve used. The hose was nicely flexible. The gauge seemed to be very accurate. I compared it to my other 0–60psi gauge and found it to be only 1 psi different - - - I couldn’t expect better than that. The incorporated pressure relief valve is very convenient. All-in-all, I thought that this was a well-made product at a very good price. The one thing that I could wish for, is a chuck that could rotate to make it easier to mount on a stem in tight places. I will update this review if warranted.

Works as it should.

I was surprised at how well this little bugger works. I love the clip that holds the nozzle in place. The dial is easy to read. I like the texture on the handle part, and I like the pressure release on the handle. First time I tried it on my wife's Mini. Her tire pressure warning had been going off (if the tires are more than 2 lbs different from highest to lowest, it warns her). She has run-flat tires and they need to be inflated to 35 lbs. Only took me a couple of minutes, and I had them at what I thought was 35 lbs by the dial on the tool. We took a drive later that day, and we reset the tire pressure indicator... When it came back up, the tires were inflated to 34.6, 34.7, 34.7 and 34.9. I can live with that!

Doesn't need much fanfare. Simple product that does what it needs to. Cut the time it takes to check my tires in half, a must have if you have leaky tires that need to be checked/filled often. PROS: - Metal handle, trigger, and chuck, feels durable and solid - Large, easy to read gauge, with a great 0-120psi range. I can't ever imagine needing to fill something up beyond 120, especially considering most home compressors only go to about 130. - Quick connect fitting included - Assuming it doesn't die in the next couple years and the gauge stays relatively accurate, this thing is a GREAT value. Does it's job with no fuss for a low price. CONS: - The mechanism it uses to clip onto the valve stem (a little claw that guillotines down and grabs the threads on the valve stem) is a little flimsy, and could use a stronger spring. It tends to force itself off the stem at higher pressures (>50psi) and needs to be held onto the stem manually. Not a big deal and it works fine at lower pressures, just could be improved. - Plastic, light-duty gauge. It has a soft rubber bumper to protect the gauge, but I would prefer a metal gauge. Then again, for $15, I can't really complain. Additionally, the gauge can be removed and replaced if you want to put on your own.

Easy to use, heavy duty equipment. Tried others but this is the best choice

All good

Item is as expected. I had to purchase a different hose connection as the one supplied was not suitable for my hoses. Otherwise it’s fine

Great product for the price. I did have to use Teflon tape around the plastic thread to make it a more air tight fit. Works perfectly.

Very good item. Would recommend.
