  • Excellent Tool Even After 9-Months of Hard Usage
Style: Inflator
I work in a smaller shop with two other techs and out of all the tools I've purchased, this is one of the few I've had absolutely no issues with. To start, the build quality is very sturdy, with brass fittings and a stainless steel braided hose. Moreover, the strainless hose includes a rubber strain relief where the hose exits the tool. Even after months of heavy usage and getting tossed around, the hose shows no signs of wear at all. As far as air chucks go, it's the most comfortable and intuitive I've ever used. The smooth, yet sturdy steel lever is dual purpose. The first 50% of travel will release air. Squeeze it fully and it will start adding air to whatever it's connected to. In my opinion, this is far more comfortable than the vast majority of analog air chucks, which require you to tilt the air fitting off to the side to release air from the schrader valve. The locking chuck is a nice touch, but depending on the condition of the valve stem, it may or may not seal without some extra down-pressure on the fitting. This is less a problem with the chuck and more a problem with worn, dirty or low quality valve stems on tires. In day-to-day usage it's a non-issue for me. The single button powers on the tool with one press. Press it again and it will turn on the back light. Hold the button and it will switch measurement units (PSI, KG and BAR). The back light does not stay on for very long (15 - 20 seconds), but this is okay as our shop is on the darker side, and I still have no trouble reading the display, even with all the bay doors shut. The back light is there just in case you're airing something up in the dark and need some extra light. It's not something you'll use all the time. It helps a lot with battery life. On average, I use this chuck about 20 times a day, 5 days out of the week and I'm averaging about 1 - 2 months on the 2 AAA batteries. In my opinion, this is excellent battery life. Just keep in mind this tool will give you no warning when the batteries are low. It will simply shut off completely and not power back on. There seems to be no difference in accuracy, regardless of the battery life. As far as accuracy goes, this tool is right up there with the best of them. I frequently air up tires on Alfa Romeos which have sensors that report pressures to the nearest 10th of a PSI. Airing them up to factory specs, I find the sensors to always report within 1 - 2/10ths of a PSI to the pressure I set. And this across 100+ different cars on different days with different sensors. This is excellent and great for picky customers that demand their tire pressures be exact across all four tires. Good luck trying to achieve this accuracy with an old-school Milton tire inflator. And if you're worried about this gauge taking a while to update the reading, worry no more. As soon as I release the trigger to check the pressure, it updates the reading within 1/4 of a second. Awesome. In spite of my glowing review, I do see some areas that could be improved in a later version. First of all, the hanging loop built into the rubber boot that fits around the tool is starting to show very slight tearing (I always hang it from a re-purposed coat hanger on the side of my lift. I would prefer a hard hanger molded into the body of the tool for better longevity. Second, it would be nice to have a mode where the backlight turns on as soon as the trigger is pressed (like some digital gauges from Mac). Lastly, there could be more contrast in the display itself. With the back light on, the reading looks somewhat ghostly and not as clear as you would hope. Again, it hasn't been a real problem in my usage, but those with worse eyesight would definitely appreciate more contrast. TL;DR: This unit from Astro absolutely dumpsters gauges even twice the price in overall comfort, quality, accuracy and reliability. If any of you air up tires very often, and you're still using an analog gauge, I strongly urge you to give this inflator a try. After getting used to this gauge, trying to read an analog gauge is like going back to the stone age. You will not be disappointed. Lastly, if I have any problems with this tool, I will update my review. If there are no updates, then you know it's still working perfect. ... show more

  • Fantastic beast of an inflator
Style: Inflator
This thing is a beast, yet the gauge is incredibly sensitive. After having a bad experience with a cheaply made Campbell Hausfeld MP6000 Tire Inflator with Gauge (inaccurate gauge) I upgraded to this one. I was a little put off at first, because this thing is massive and the battery is a pain in the neck to get to, but once I started using it I changed my mind. The clip fits nicely on the valve stem and holds it well. The extension hose is just long enough that I can stand most of the way up while inflating. The gauge itself is incredible. It measures to tenths of a pound. I can't believe I can actually inflate/deflate my tires with that much accuracy. The grip and lever fit my had perfectly. Since my compressor has to chug pretty hard to fill eight tires to 80 PSI I can be standing there holding this thing for awhile. It's nice that it doesn't make my hand sore. At first I couldn't figure out how to deflate, but it's easy to just slightly depress the lever to let the air out. The blue backlight is also a nice touch. I usually fill my tires at night before we leave on a long trip. It's always dark when I drag the compressor hose out to the street. I'm glad I won't have to use a flashlight anymore to read the gauge. That's a great touch. The battery replacement isn't good. In that regard the design has some problems. It's difficult to get to the screws and it's easy to damage the heads since you can't see them inside the rubberized case. I'm not looking forward to replacing them. And of course the battery will run out with no warning, so the gauge won't be usable until I find a replacement battery. That's not the end of the world though. This was a lot of money to spend on a tire inflator & gauge, but I'm glad I invested in this product. _______________________ UPDATE (3/8/16: I just upgraded to a dually pickup truck and now I can't reach the inner tires with this inflator. I bought an Astro 30DC 6-Inch Dual Head Chuck and used it to replace the clip-on chuck from this inflator. It works great. ... show more

  • Built like a tank!
Style: Inflator
If you're looking for quality and strength, this won't disappoint. I have half a dozen Milton air chucks with gauges. None are accurate but they all seem to be 4-6 pounds under accurate psi. I have a very accurate gauge used for water pressure tanks that I use to determine accuracy. So it's a little irritating that I can spend good money on these Miltons and still have to overpressure 4-6 pounds then recheck with my accurate guage. I've been looking for a decent quality gauge for awhile now. So last weekend I drove 4 hours to purchase a mini excavator. When I loaded it, one of my tires was very low. I went to the shop and they filled it for me. The gauge used was a Mac tools gauge. I asked the tech if it was accurate, he said it was and he's used it daily for over 5 years. When I looked it up after getting home, I found this one and found Astro makes these for Matco Tools and they were very highly rated. I checked the Mac Tools air chuck and it seems to also be the same one. I ordered it yesterday morning about 7am, it was at my house by 8pm. Wow! Anyway, that thing is huge and built like a tank. they did not spare any expense in the build. I tested it against my accurate gauge and it is spot on. I"ll update as time goes on. ... show more

Same one Matco tools sells. Only cheaper in price. Very good tool. Easy to use. Easy to change battery. If I had to buy another one I would. But, this one will last for years. Just doesn't have the MATCO TOOLS label. It's literally the same one.
