triggered and has a gauge...
I actually took off the end and put a regular 1/4 inch air line quick release in line so I can just snap a Presta or Shredder head on ... but it's kinda clunky.. works great for inflating tubeless thou!!
I used that head but with the Harborfrieght inflator. That head will do both shraeder or presta at the same time so good to go with car tires too. Most prefer the pistol grip trigger
Mine is 4yrs old and doing ok but ya the dial face on the inside is bent with no visible damage to the outside. Could have been a roommate, they can be dorks sometimes.
I have a silca head, does not thread into the blower handle. Maybe yall not getting my drift. Standard garage shop air compressor hose have a quick release fitting. Snaps in and out. Every car shop has a fitting that fills up schrader valves. I need a quick connect with a presta valve end. Clearer?
Presta inflators don't work like schrader inflators.. You need more than just the chuck to fill tubes. With a presta inflator you need some sort of trigger to regulate airflow...if you just put a presta chuck in the end of an air hose air will rush out constantly without control.
you can get a head, thread it onto a air line quick release and off ya go..
you WILL want a trigger of some sort sa a bike tire won't handle the high pressure of air from a compressor without some control.. you'll blow it up. a regular air blower will work OK but having a gauge is a big help.
Here is mine. Got a prestafaltor head and just added it to existing air tools I had. Works perfectly. I have no idea why I waited so long. For tubeless...there is no substitute for air volume/pressure!
ya, that's nice, I hated to old Prestaflator heads that didn't have the 90 degree bend, can't tell ya how many times I waste a knuckle on the spokes from that, that new one looks MUCH better!!
to get a silca head onto a blow gun or whatever you need to chop the barb off the end and tap it with a 1/8npt tap. this will let you thread in plumbing fittings and what not
I did all the home built presta chucks and ended up getting a good deal on the park one. It works great and also has the schrader so it works on cars, mowers and lots of other stuff. I wish I would not not have wasted all the money on the home built stuff now.
So had a prestaflator chuck but the end of the blow gun was too large, home depot sells a kit that has a smaller blow gun+ threaded adapter to fit, win!
