What is the advantage or the use of hooking up the Milton S506 Dual Head Inflator Gauge to the air compressor against just using an air compressor and directly hook it up to the tire stem valve to inflate tires? Thanks!

The S506 has the pressure gauge in the handle and you can add or let out air to the desired pressure you want. Only one operation needed... You will be very happy to use this item... I wish I had bought mine several years ago...

My husband used his air compressor. Any gas station would have one for tires. Maybe you could try that for free?I even use this great exercise ball at my desk to get exercise while typing away!

The S976 is designed for high pressure tires such as truck (larger) tires. The S921 is used primarily on tires used on passenger cars, and light pickup style trucks, since it only goes to 60 psi max. I bought the S976 Dual Head for my 3/4 Ton Pickup that uses 80 psi in the rear tires. Great quality product...first class gage.

It's just a tire inflator. Plugs onto an air hose. Hand valve, gauge, and valve stem chuck that locks onto the tire valve stem. The locking chuck was poorly designed and leaked so I had to send it back.

yup, right next to the lever will be a pop-out gauge. similar to most gas station tire inflator.

Yes I have used it quite a bit since purchasing it. Outstanding quality, and accurate. The only issue with it at all is sometimes it is hard to see the dial where the psi is displayed and part of that may be my eyesight is not as good as it use to be. The window where this is displayed is magnified so if it was a little bit more so it would be better! It allows you to put air in your tire while monitor the pressure as you do. Makes adding air to a tire so much more quickly while maintaining and reading the dial when you let off the valve to pump up the tire. Hope this helps.

You're better off using a portable powered inflator with a gauge for your motorcycle. I have one of these:http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/compact-air-compressor-with-lightit's got a built in LED on it too, i've used this thing countless times on my bike. If I ride with people I encourage them to check their pressure and adjust prior to us taking off. This thing is great, just attaches to the SAE adaptor affixed to your battery.

Yes. However, I did it by mounting it to the Campbell Hausfeld MP6000 Tire Inflator with Gauge using a hose clamp. It works great filling my car or bicycle tires and the gauge is accurate.

EXPLOSION HAZARD!! This is a high quality tool which will easily handle 150 psi, but over inflating a tire is extremely dangerous. Many people have been killed or injured when the stored energy in a tire/rim assembly was released suddenly by the failure of one or the other."Warning: Sealing type chucks are for use on Milton Inflator Gauges" This is a quote from the product description. The point is that a tire chuck that locks/fastens onto a tire valve should never be used without a valve that will shut off when released by the operator or a pressure limiting device. This may not apply to small tire inflation compressors. Check the instructions. Bill Cook - Former ASE Certified Master Automotive Technician EXPLOSION HAZARD!!

I wish I could help, but upon receiving my inflator it came without the deflector pin and called Milton and they sounded confused that it could possibly come without this and did nothing to help. Being a dual head, air just shoots out both holes all the time making filling a single tire. I didn't want to spend the money to send it back but decided to eat it. It is a really great wall ornament now. Sorry I couldn't help but I'm in the same boat. Back to the old harbor freight rotted out dual head inflator with no window guage. Glad I didn't throw the old one away yet.

The trigger does control the release of co2 from the cartridge, and you can 'save' some co2 if you don't need to use it all. However, depending on the size of a cartridge you're using, unless you're filling up a skinny road tire (700x20), you'll use up most / all of a cartridge to inflate an empty tube / tire.If you want to use it to just 'top up' a slightly flat tube a few times throughout a ride, yes, it will do that. It's not a one-shot deal. While it seems to provide a good seal, I wouldn't count on leaving a pierced cartridge in there overnight and having it be full in the morning.

Bettyann, I have this inflator, but I use it to inflate or "top off" my car tires or my lawn tractor tires. It does a good job on those in a very reasonable amount of time. I assume it would also do a good job in your situation even though yours is more about the volume of air at relative low pressure while my use is more about the pressure of the air at relatively low volume. Hope this helps a little.

No, you hook this up to an air hose connected to an air compressor. It needs an air source to inflate tires.

No gauge is needed, simply do not over inflate. I have no issues at all, very happy with the purchase. I have not as of yet had to adjust the pressure, do to over inflateing or the heat. Not to mention, this craft has no where to hook up a guage to check the pressure.

It does pump both ways, as you can notice there are 2 holes at the buttom that's because of the dual action inflation method, you can test it with a balloon, also make sure your pump valve setup is correct, otherwise there could be air leaks, taking longer to inflate, also please notice that any Mini Pump takes more time to inflate than a Floor Pump, however the Cyclokraft Mini Bike Pump performs better than other mini pumps

I'm not sure what you are asking but the gauge snaps into a normal air fitting and I can leave the compressor running. The air into the tire is controlled by the inflator lever and the end that going onto the valve stem locks into place and holds itself there until it is released. Sorry but I hope this helps
