This one works great for me. I put it on a fill valve with digital Gage that I also bought on Amazon some time before I bought the Chuck.

Milton makes several inflator gauges/chucks that will work for your purpose. The 2 most common (and reliable in my opinion) are the 506 and the 516. The 506 has an angled foot in both both forward and reverse. The 516 has a straight on foot for straight ahead and an angled foot for reverse.

The 506 is easier to use if you have aluminum wheels with small through holes. The forward angled foot makes it easier to reach the inside dual valve stem.

As a side note I have several 506 and 516 inflators. Some are left over from the 1970's when I owned a repair shop. I have them tested occasionally against a certified gauge at a local tire shop. They are as accurate today as they were in the 1970's. Also if they due fail from abuse and/or contamination you can send them to Milton for repair. I'm not sure what that cost, but new ones usually sell for around $50.00. It may cost that much these days to get them repaired.

HAVE installed a set of the metal valve stems that come out thru the outer dual and you don't need any thing special to check and fill duals. Plus you don't need to get on your knees to hunt the valve stem location, can you say rain, snow, stickers.
Don't use the braided extensions as they will fail at the most inopportune to m e.

I agree with Len. Have used both the braided extensions and the solid longer valve stems. Had several failures with the braided ones but no problems with the solid ones.
