Decent air chuck/ pressure gauge.

I've got the Milton one. Looks to be the same model anyway. I like it. Works well, seems accurate. No complaints. That's not a bad price either.

I'm going to get a Milton. The pressure range on most of them is more than I need but they do have a model that is 0-120 in 2 lb increments that should be fine. They seem to be well made but what sold me is the magnifying window that shows the pressure.

I have Amflo for a long time and no complaints... made in USA

I hear they are now made overseas...

I've had an Milton S506 for many years and have had 0 problems. Bob

I ordered the Milton 506. Should be here in a few days. Thanks for the good advice guys. I always know I can find it here.

Got it yesterday. What a nice piece of American made equipment. Very hefty. The read out window is large and magnified. Odd though, the front of the package says it reads 0-120, the back says it reads 0-160. Not that I care but someone who needed 160 and only got 120 might be miffed. But who needs 160 and for what?

That is interesting; I noticed that there were ads for them that had both 120 and 160 versions, thought they were different models. Agree that they should get it right as it could result in someone getting something not suitable for their application. Don't know what tires take 160, maybe useful for filling a portable air tank. Maybe some of the big iron in aviation needs high pressure for tires and struts, but I doubt that they shop in the auto aisles.

One of my digital gauges died a couple months ago and I remembered this thread from last year. I picked up a Milton 506 at Rural King and have been using it quite a bit. This is a great gauge, making it so much easier to check and fill tires.

I have one like you want that I got from Harbor freight. I cant say how accurate it is since I always use my digital gauge by Craftsman. It record in tenths of a pound. I only look at the gauge on the chuck to see if I am getting close, then finish up using the digital gauge.

I also have the HF and have compared it to multiple digital gauges, one of which was 'calibrated' by a professional shop, and it's dead on mid range. I still don't trust it for final but man it gets me withing 1/2# every time. it's one of those HF tools that doesn't suck!

My favorite digital is my Snap-On, guaranteed for life - even free battery replacement! Actually, last time they just sent me a brand new gauge and said 'toss or recycle' the old one for us. I also have a couple others, but the Snap-on and my HF chuck/gauge are my go-to for tire maintenance.
