That looks similar to the PC, which I found was not nearly powerful enough to do much. There were discussions on other threads if you want more details.

I got one of these LockNFlate air chucks, I’m not satisfied. It doesn’t stay on a tire valve as well as the $3 option I was using before. It’s also very large.
Interesting, I wonder if yours is defective. I have been using them for a couple years inflating hundreds of tires with exactly zero issues with leaking or staying on. I have found their 360 degree locking mechanism to be much more secure than the lower cost ones with a single tongue securing them to the valve stem.

Weird, my Locknflate still works like a champ
I was using it commercially on fleet vehicles with a M18 inflator. It didn’t seem to seat well, I was constantly repositioning it to try and get it sealed. I got a generic version from Amazon Vine without as complex of a locking mechanism and it works ok.

Call 'Lock N Lube' customer service and tell them about your issue (603)795-2298……. I am sure they will help you.
BTW! I have the straight 'lock n flate' and the 90* inflater along with a ‘lock n lube' grease coupler……. No problems with either one..
I have a lock n flate that would leak more times than not and you would have to mess with it to get it to seat properly. I called customer service and they sent me a new one and it is the same. Leaks about 1/2 the time. I can usually mess with it and get it to seat, but my cheaper ones seem to work as well if not better. It’s a quality piece. I just wish it sealed better.

I am sorry, I am confused - I do not see where the need for a air chuck like that is?
I just use a straight/angle head (ie this Milton example https://miltonindustries.com/produc...dual-head-air-chuck-single-retail-pack-s-693w ) and rarely have trouble with them popping off? You just lean it slightly to the edge and it will stay on

Im pretty sure I could pull the valve stem out of the rim with my lock n flate.
I did have to get my first one replaced, it would NOT seal. No issues with the replacement.

Seems like a deal. Half off coupon brings it down to $17.50 for a green laser level.

Be aware that not all Milton's have threads in the head to hold onto the valve.

Heavy truck or tractor tires that take forever to fill.
Tire machines, where you’re starting from zero psi?

I never used the Milton to lock on and always wondered why they put those damn threads in there. I have one that is smooth. I also just noticed that the add shows its only rated to 150PSI. I use a 175psi compressor or a nitrogen tank set as high to inflate tires on the motor coach and a few of my trucks. Guess I better start wearing goggles and ballistic gloves.

Keep in mind these do not connect directly to the Milwaukee (or similar) inflators without a Schrader to 1/4 NPT adapter.
I am curious about the open vs closed … I would think the closed would be preferred for the inflator? Or does it even matter when the line is not pressurized all the time?
Milwaukee ships their inflators in the open configuration. I have always purchased open aftermarket nozzles. I would guess they didn’t design the diaphragms to have constant pressure on them.
A while back there was a 30% off clickable coupon when it was priced at around $120

My ocd is killing me!This Self Leveling Laser Level is still $17.49 (on Sunday afternoon) after coupon so I figure it is worth a look and ordered one (thanks, Etchase). Maybe I can finally align my jars

Laser was delivered today. Looking forward to testing it out.
I use a JACO Lightning L2X 90-degree chuck on my M18 inflator (was recommended on another forum). Connects directly to the end of the inflator's stock hose.
Works great on the dually tires on my RV. I don't love the 90-degree fitting on my Buick, which has hubcaps (I know, I should upgrade the rims).
I might buy a straight one (S2X) which would work great on everything other than the RV duallies.
As for "why" these are needed? Definitely helpful when it's cold outside. Also if your tires are more than a few PSI low. The M18 inflator isn't incredibly fast, especially on larger tires. Plus, it makes filling tires with the M18 inflator truly plug-and-play: Simply attach the chuck to the tire, set your desired PSI on the inflator, and walk away while it fills (it'll stop itself at the set pressure).

Majority of the tires I change are semi tires or tractor/implement
But as alwaysFlOoReD said, the Miltons I am using have threads in the chucks. So you can get them to stay on the valve stem simply by angling the head slightly with gravity. Somehow I had never encountered one without threads in the chuck!
Learn something new every day - I went out and checked, and by golly there are threads in there

Appreciate your reply here - I had never thought about how they hold on, and by golly all of mine have threads!
Learn something new - and will keep an eye when I need to buy more
10% on a few items, nothing really interesting. Some stuff in my cart went up 30-50%.

Note, it's now down to $2.59. I rebought since it hadnt shipped yet.
I just cleared several feet of root in my main line w/something I pieced together that is basically this w/a pressure gauge missing. I would probably not do such a big job again but it's likely perfectly fine for simpler tasks or not so much roots. If I had to do it over again, I'd likely get a reel for the hose & maybe just run my 3/8 hose instead of the 1/4 tied to my 3/8:
