Another handy device …..

The thread by Mobuck servicing tires reminded me of a handy tool I found a week ago.

As we get older, its less convenient to stoop and kneel and bend over and crawl around servicing stuff that needs attention. Checking and filling my Harley tires has often been a pain but this tool is a big help.

Look for a “Pro Fill Air Chuck” made by Motion Pro. Mine was in the $40 range and was worth every penny. It’s made of billet aluminum with a pivoting head. The pivoting angled head allows much easier access to the valve stems.

Finding a 'GOOD' tire pressure gauge is difficult these days. Most are junk giving incorrect readings or simply failing apart after only a few uses. I buy Milton 'service station' grade testers. Chucks and quick couplers are another story--even name brands often fail way too soon. I buy quick couplers in bulk since I have to replace the most often used ones 2-3 times per year.

Yep, I have a metal Milton gauge in all my glove boxs.

Yes, I too have a tire gage in all the vehicles...
Reminds me of the tire places that were charging you to put mostly nitrogen (78%) in your tires for a better ride and longer lasting tire.
