These ones don't lock on the valve right? So you have to stand there forever holding it in place (with force) until your tire fills up?

Looks like you should be able to thread hose on to the valve on the tire.

Good question. In the pictures, it seems like you'd be able to screw it on and leave it?

reading through the reviews:

"crew on to standard tire valve is better than more common clamp style."

They don't have very good info related to inflation time for a specific tire size. Brands like Viair cost more, but their compressors can actually inflate a 17 inch tire quickly with less noise and heat.

If price is an issue, just spend the $1.50 or $2 to get the tire inflated at the gas pump. It may not be convenient, but your tire will be inflated faster with less fuss and noise.

Lol how?

It goes up to 70 psi, your truck tires need higher pressure?

The blue one looks to have a screw on valve, but don't see that in the other colours. I'm gonna try for a blue one since my current one is dying.

I have the Canadian tire branded version and can confirm it’s screwed on. That would be ridiculous if you have to be beside the car the whole time. Have had mine for for 5 years and still going strong.

If it’s the same internals it’s pretty decent. It can get loud. On the note of going to gas station. This is a convenience item when you can’t be bothered and need to top up in the comfort of your own garage lol.

Not to mention you have to PAY for air at a gas station.

Completely ludicrous concept coming from someone that worked at a bike shop for 10 years.

And yeah I still top up my car tires with a high pressure bike pump
