    The issue I find with all these Chinese tire inflators is they kill batteries quickly. I don't think the brand matters, I owned the Rhino model and the batteries will be dead in around 1 month.
    Don't confuse Astro AI for Astro Pneumatic, I have personally switched to the Astro Pneumatic 3018 and it is still running on the original batteries 16 months later.

    • @projectpinehills

      I just checked the inflator and it shows 3 bars for the battery since making this video, 15 months. That’s pretty good. Thanks for the feedback & thanks for watching.

    Does the locking chuck have threading for a ball inflating needle? Great video, thanks!

    • @projectpinehills
      @projectpinehills  4 месяца назад

      No it doesn’t. You have to use the threaded air chuck for that. Thanks and Thanks for watching.

    The thread-on chuck will work on RV tires with "beauty disks", lock-on types are too often too bulky. Regular press-on chucks work with RV beauty disks and two hands.

    How do you get a shutoff on compressor without air coming out of the air hose when switching to another tool?

    • @projectpinehills
      @projectpinehills  5 месяцев назад

      The air compressor hose coupler has a valve that shuts off when you remove the tool from the coupler.

    Problem - I watched the whole video. wow, i really did. anyway... not once you mentioned this device's proof of accuracy (and i apologise if i missed it, please point it out)
    . I just went down this rabbit hole and if you're posh you can buy 4 or 5 of these things then compare from diffrent sources and diffrent reviews - hate me or dont hate me - with the tire sensors these days... being a "LAW". get a certified tire gauge their not expencive. So you are secure with your tires - it takes 10 min to check 5 (the spare) tires. then you can stress less about that stupid light!

    • @projectpinehills
      @projectpinehills  Год назад

      A comparison to another tire gauge is a good idea. 👍 This tire gauge works great, definitely not something to stress about. Thanks for watching!

    Its relatively easy to do it with two hands. Just use one hand to put air in insted of two. when you press down on it to let air in the tire wont move resulting in yo not having to use two hands to hold it.

      What about a valve stem that pushes back into the tire?? 👍

      @@projectpinehills When I am putting ait in the tire I just use one hand to push the iar in the valve. The force that I put on it with one hand is enough to not make it move.

      Right, that’s a tubeless tire. What about when you have a tube? 😁

  • @Airon79
    @Airon79 Год назад

    I use an pancake air compressor with those locking chucks and I'll set the outflow to whatever the tire requires but it's not a total watchless ordeal as the tire pressure will climb 5 or 10 psi obove what i set the air tank outflow and it'll do that if im deflating a tire so looking for a tire inflate tool that i don't have to constantly have to monitor and won't have overinflate ? The ones you have aren't what I'm looking for but maybe you or someone else knows one . I had a Bauer digital tire inflator that ran of the battery packs but wasn't really good for inflating full sized vehicle tires from totally flat and didn't have a lot of money at the time so taken it back and put my money on a portable air compressor but i still do want a carefree inflation process that can inflate from a flat tire or topping off a tire .

      @projectpinehills I forgot to mention I was looking for an automatic tire chuck , so most likely it wouldn't have a trigger or trigger would lock pressed down , like a garden hose , and automatically stops at user selected pressure .
