I need a right angle adapter to use with my M12 inflator. I see some folks go for the lock-n-lube one, but I don't think that will work as this is mainly getting used on 12-20" bike tires, so clearance is limited. I'd like a lock on one

This is coming from an event I was at this weekend that we inflated about 50 bike tires over the course of a couple hours and my 6 year old was doing most of it. She did really well, but a lot of wheels were really difficult and eventually, her fingers got really sore. Hoping I can get an attachment that will let her just own the task at future events.

Any recommendations?

I got this for my regular inflator, but they have all kinds of stuff. It works well and has given me no trouble.
Thanks Kay. I think their model without the extension may work better for this so I can keep it compact. Even better would be one with a male schrader input so I can skip buying an adapter. I'll look through their catalog

Nice of you and your youngen to do that. 👍🏽
Shameless plug :) . It's an amazing organization. The newscaster screwed up the name, but they got it right in print. REACHcycles.

We do a giveaway event every 3-4 months and I don't have the back to be hand pumping 30-50 tires at each one

Something like this? The chuck head on this particular model isn’t great. I had a spare Specialized Air Tool chuck that’s easy, reliable and works for presta and schrader valves that I swapped onto it.

Yeah, just need the chuck and everything we have is schrader. I use presta at home, but I can deal with that separately

If you search Tire Air Inflator Hose Inflatable Pump Extension Tube Adapter 10cm on the 'bay, you'll find one. Mine works on my M12 inflator great. The length is non-intrusive when wrapped around the unit.

But now I should find one.that suits Presta too.

Assuming the chuck on your hose is removable, this one does presta and schrader, but isn't push to connect.

Just following up on this post... Ended up getting a couple JACO adapters. One for schrader and one for presta, and they work perfectly. My daughter can get them on and off much easier than the screw on connectors. Thanks again for the recommendation @kaymccampbell
