Air Chuck Problems for Tire Filling

[ihrescue]

Hi Folks:

I have had an annoying problem with the air chuck I bought to fill tires with. The chuck since new required me to move it around at different angles to get the chuck's plunger to engage the tire core vale before it will allow air to flow. Once I find that sweet spot I need to carefully keep it steady or lose it. I have never had this problem with a chuck. Any tips on a DIY fix or is a new chuck a better way to go? Or recommendations for a reasonable air chuck to purchase that will give reliable service.

Couple of pics attached. Standard auto store air chuck.

Any comments appreciated.

I've had a Milton since 1989 with zero problems.

Had the problem last month with the HF chuck. Ordered a Milton and now I'm past that problem.

I see a Milton air chuck in my future. Thanks all.

We use only Milton at work - narry an issue outside of wearing the seals out in the couplers every now and again I'm told.

Thanks for the endorsement Just me. Today I ordered a Mil505 to get in tight on the motorcycle and snow blower.
