Tire inflator with gauge
Can anyone recommend a tire inflator with clip on chuck and gauge? Not looking for the air compressor, just the inflator with gauge and chuck.

I recommend: https://www.rvupgradestore.com/Perfo...-p/15-1828.htm
I tried the cheap Harbor Freight chucks and got what I paid for- cheap.

Don't have one but have seen the new Milwaukee inflator. It is nice. Choose your pressure, clip it on, press go and done. it will even let air out of it's over inflated.

This is one I bought a couple of months ago and am very pleased with it. It locks onto the valve stem so you don't have to keep pressure applied and it registers in tenths of a pound. It was about $25 on Amazon, just search for AstroAI inflator.

Terry-
I purchased the Excelair EX0500D (Amazon link here). I haven't used it much, but it seems to work well enough.
Milton sells their line and Excelair (link here). I'd have bought a Milton (I have two different manual gauges of theirs and like them both), but for the money and the number of times I expect to use it the Excelair should be fine.

Those clip-on chucks don't work for me. Has anyone been able to locate a screw on chuck?

Here on Ebay. The lock-on type may be removed and these attached to the hose in most instances. Ask before buying if the lock-on chuck may be replaced.
There is a downside to the screw-on chuck, while unscrewing from the valve stem more pressure is allowed out of the tire than other chuck types.
Personally I like the snap-on type that utilizes a sliding collet like standard air hose connections; Amazon has them.

Same with me. Not sure if it was the AstroAI but looks the same and came from Amazon. I finally broke down and bought the digital. I had an older Milton that served me well for decades but the handle broke off. I called Milton and the part is NLA and it wasn't repairable.
This is great for anything from a 10lb lawn and garden tire on up. Very happy with my purchase. Only thing I do is pull the batteries when I put it in the tool box. I've learned to do that with almost anything battery operated other than the TV remote. It gets plenty of use and attention so don't have to worry about the batteries getting old and leaking on that guy

I have the Milwaukee M12 inflator. It is a screw on chuck, not a clip. Works great, but it probably would not fill a flat on a Class A on one battery. Top off all tires, no problem. They recommend NOT using it for more than 10 minutes straight.
I bought a brass screw on angle extension for those tight places. Cheap on eBay.
