Which air chucks that lock on the valve stem?

I have this style now,

which is nearly useless as it doesn't stay on tire valve stem or the air tank valve stem when I'm filling it to 120 psi. It only has a simple single spring loaded blade that is supposed to grip the stem's threads. Has anybody tried this LockNFlate model?

It's pretty expensive and six serrated teeth to grip the threads, but if it works......

Jaco is great, but as mentioned is an open chuck, so you need an inflator to use. Closed chucks, the old Milton made in USA 698 works good, but sometimes won't work due to the lever getting in the way. Haltec, those big ones, I never tried, but used the thinner ones, and they are iffy at best to seal. All those Euro chucks like pictured in the original post are garbage. Similar looking chucks made in England, don't recall the brand are also garbage.
I'm happy after 20 disapointing chucks, the Jaco works for me perfectly. The Lock-n-flate, if anything like their grease gun chuck should also be good. Too much junk in chucks out there.
