Review: Best I've used in 20 years in the tire business... - I've used the Milton 500 series for years in our shops. I can't even tell you how many I've rebuilt. With the advent of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and our nitrogen filling services we felt the need for more precision regarding tire pressure.....Especially now that the customer sees the pressure on the dash....I like them all to read exactly the same - it looks more professional. This is a high quality inflator. I love the way the trigger allows both inflation and deflation so that a very precise pressure can be attained. So far this device has proven dead accurate and reads down to tenths of a psi. The large readout and backlight make me wish this product had been available LONG ago. We now own 3 of these and they have all operated flawlessly.....and that is under constant heavy shop use. Shop employees are notoriously tough on equipment and so far this is the toughest inflator I've used. Unless something drastically changes I will never buy another Milton, the moving parts will eventually wear out, which is why they sell rebuild kits. The Milton is only a few dollars less anyway. If you own a shop this is a must buy in my opinion. If a customer is standing there as you use it they perceive that you are a professional and using a very high quality, state of the art tool. Their pressures will quickly be set precisely and they can even read the gauge from a distance. Unlike many tools in the past, my employees take good care of this tool because it makes their job much easier and efficient. They recognized right away what a huge asset this could be. I'm in charge of purchasing and buying this made me look VERY good to the owners.....they love it. My advice to shop owners: Step into the 21st century and enjoy the benefits of this very rugged and precise tool.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this unit hold and seal the tire stem well? The clamp looks the cheap one that doesn't stay on the valve stem.**
A: Put on correctly, it seals and will hold air...it is not a cheap fitting.  I have used mine to check tire pressure even without an air hose hooked up when I was just checking.

**Q: can the air chuck be replaced by a dual one, and if so what model**
A: Yes, the black air hose that is attached to this unit has 1/4" NPT on both ends and fits standard accessories.  It appears that any of the Milton dual head air chucks will fit as they are furnished with female 1/4" NPT.

**Q: Can this gage be used with the air hoses you find at many gas stations?**
A: Everyone else has given you the common answer, which is no. But if you're a traveler, and you wanted to use this at gas stations, then you could add this:  http://www.amazon.com/Amflo-701-2-npt-tank-valve/dp/B0002V4Q4I/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1410808589&sr=8-8&keywords=schrader+valve+adapter  Then clip the gauge hose on your tire, and hold the station hose on the end of the gauge and that would work. Although maybe not real comfortable to do.

**Q: What batteries does it use?
Charlie**
A: 4-24-16 The one I received today IS the updated version with the steel mesh hose and 2 AAA batteries.  Also, simplified battery installation/replacement procedure.  Simply peel back the rubber cover, pry open battery compartment door, install batteries, replace compartment door and re-seat rubber cover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Air Chuck
*by L***U on October 15, 2025*

No need to buy the matco or snap on brand , this one is super good and after two years it still has plenty of battery life . Air flow is good , easy to use and even has a glow mode for dark areas in the shop . No leaks and works great . Thanks A.P.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice tool, recommended
*by M***L on December 13, 2025*

First impressions, it's big. Not in a bad way, but it is not going to fit in a pocket. It seems solid, the stainless steel braided air hose is a decent length and has a swivel connection to the gauge body. Nice. Next impression, folding back the rubber protective cover from the gauge body to get to the battery compartment seems to almost take 3 hands. Ugh. Removed the pull tab that keeps the batteries from being active and the plastic tab broke and left a small piece still stuck in the compartment cover contacts, fish that out. Replaced the included alkaline batteries with two non-rechargable lithium AAA batteries (I'm tired of leaking alkaline batteries!). I ran out of male threaded 1/4" MPT quick disconnects, so ordered some more. The quick disconnects arrived, install one to the inflator/gauge. Yay, finally operational. First use impressions, it's kind of big but feels good in the hand. The lock-on air chuck doesn't always lock on leak free to the tire valve stem. I might change that out. But using it? Oh, yeah! Adding air, easy. Gently squeeze the metal lever fully, plenty of leverage from the lever so doing so is easy. Letting some air out, easy. Just squeeze the metal lever half way and air comes out from whatever you are trying to fill (or unfill 😆). So easy. The digital gauge reads to 0.2 psi. Nice. Tire (or whatever) a little low, add some air. Overshoot and to much pressure, bleed some out just by squeezing the lever half way. All while the digital pressure gauge shows the reading whenever you aren't squeezing the lever (as long as the gauge is ON, you have to push the ON button). Air flow is fast, in and out. The digital gauge is easy to read, and has a backlight too. The backlight active time is a little short though, minor annoyance (for now anyway). A little on the expensive side, but is fast and easy to use. Both adding or releasing air pressure. Recommended 👍
