Perhaps a stupid question but can you check tire pressure without hooking the ditigal up to shop air like you can with the miltons?

 

[Mr.N]

and my favorite: designed at an angle to that the little lever that locks it on the tire stem snaps right onto your wheel and scratches the finish.

Deschodt,
It sounds like having a locking air chuck is important to you, and it is for me too. So many air chuck and pressure gauge systems do not have this feature.
You are using a typical locking air chuck sold at most stores, no? Pic A
I would highly suggest you getting a "Euro" style chuck on whatever solution you get. They are much easier to use and engage better.

If its like my bluepoint yes you can. Makes it easy to remove air when a dufus puts 80lbs of air in the tires of an impala.

I use this Mac TG900 that I bought 8 years ago. I quickly learned that it's impossible to check the pressure on the inside wheel of a dual wheel set-up with an angled chuck. I replaced the end with a straight tip and have been happy ever since. Very durable and accurate gauge.

I personally just like the chuck with a hose....
Less chance of scratching and easier to get on *Custom* wheels

Re the milton:

I have one and its not accurate.I have checked it against two differant guages and it shows 8 psi higher.

I have one and really like it. It's dead nuts when compared to a couple of my other gauges

I grew tired of buying, and replacing the crappy HF tire chuck w/gauge and finally bought this:

What came in the mail however was this:

Clearly the same product, but made in jolly old England and not the US as I thought it was going to be. That said, it's made of plastic with a removable rubber bumper around the sensitive parts. Certified calibrated to be +-0.2 PSI. Particularly important on my race car where I don't want to actually be +-10.0lbs. Maybe David Donohue can tell when his tire pressures are off but my rear-end isn't that sensitive yet.

In addition to being accurate it also includes a button to bleed off excess air. Works as described and its good to know my pressures are what they say they are. Will have to try and treat it with care. Might get a Milton for use on the tractor and for sharing with my buddies around the paddock and garage.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I was in the market for a new inflator. We had a shop milton that I used everyday, then it got stolen. I bought the Snap on TGIFS1 from my dealer, and to be honest, I called him shortly after to inform him that I was going to return it next week. The indicator line in the view glass is so far away from the scale that it creates a parallax when reading, and the slightest tilt can throw your reading off a few pounds plus or minus. Beautiful looking tool, foolish function. Now Im debating between the milton and the comparable blue point model. A buddy of mine at work has the BP inflator so I am familiar with both models, just trying to figure out which one I want as my personal tool.
