Does this air chuck auto shut off the air when it is not depressed on the tire or will the air still come out?

It function just like any other air chuck, except with this one it has a latch to hold the chuck on the valve stem. It is difficult to use by itself because of the clip for the valve stem.I use mine on the end of a flexible hose connected to a pistol grip air gauge. Works great in hard to reach places like the valve stems on my tractor tires which are on the inside. I can connect the cuck securely to the valve stem and control the flow of air with the pistol grip gauge, when the air in the tire has reached the correct pressure I can easily remove the chuck.Hope this makes sense.

try disconnecting the air line, then press the lever on your inflator just like your putting air into the tire, you will find this reverse procedure will allow the air in the tire to escape.

Probably due to the cycle time. If you shut it off and let it cool down a little while inflating it should be fine.

As the others pointed out, you need to be square to the stem and apply with firm pressure but it'll hold on good, if you let it go and move the hose around too much it'll leak air but to be honest, I've never seen a 'hands free' chuck that was 100% leak free. I generally don't clamp it on, I hold the lever on the chuck in the open position with my thumb, push down to get my reading and operate the inflate/deflate lever with the other hand. The operation is quick and simple, so to me it's hardly worth messing around with locking it on. It is worth it - I wouldn't want to be without it.

Nope...that's not normal. There must be a leak. Do you hear any hissing? If so, try to locate the source. It might just be the valve where it attaches to the tire. Mine shuts off when it reaches a little over 100 psi...it's supposed to do that. It must be cycling because of a leak. I suppose you could remove the cover to inspect. Might just have a fitting that needs to be tightened. Good luck.

This is a great off road compressor but does not have AC plug nor does it accept air powered accessories. It excels at putting air into tires quickly.

I had no problem putting air to the tires by using a regular hand pump. Perhaps you might want to check the pump? Make sure the pump head is inserted fully to the tire's valve

It is a straight push design, the threads are oversize so you can pull the air chuck a little sideways and it will usually hold on to the valve stem with out your holding it by hand. Most tire shops and mechanics use this type. Just push it onto valve stem an then tilt it in a direction that lets the weight of the hose make the chuck hang on. Also a great chuck if you just hold it while airing tire. I have used this type for years on bicycles, motorcycles golf carts, autos, and especially on motorhomes with dual tires ( which the straight design is usually needed.

How is it used? you mean how to use it? Just plug the tire inflator to the air hose. and hold end of hose to the valve stem to pump air. how is the quality? It works good on car tire. it pump air quite fast. i've had it for about 2 months now. it still pump air as it was new. gauge is still reading accurately. i've used it to pump a portable air can to 100psi. I mean it works good for that price on sale. I like it.

We had to use a compressor and close it very quickly. It has held air very well since then and we have 2 rambunctious grandkids who play on it daily.

No, it operates from the car's battery. It inflates a small car tire in about 2 minutes. It connects to the battery with alligator clamps.

No. My friend has one that I have used. As Allan stated, you must push the lever for air to pass. The braided hose is too short. When airing up and the valve stem happens to be nearer to the dirt, you have to bend over until the tire is filled. From 15psi to 40, in the hot desert sun, it can be bleh. If it were longer, I would buy it. I'm looking for a better one.

No to both questions. It will stop blowing ac air but it stays on unless you put it to sleep

That has not been a problem with me. When I unscrew the inflation hose from the tire valve stem a small amount of air comes out, but on a car tire it makes no difference in pressure. Maybe there is something wrong with your pump that you should speak to the manufacturer about.

You can definitely read the pressure gauge while inflating the tire - I actually used it so that I know when to turn it off. I have had mine for quite awhile now and it is still as accurate as using a separate tire gauge.

A) Does your unit push air out when not connected to anything? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hose or something else on the unit. If not it has to be after the pump. Either the tire or the connection are at fault. B) Try pushing the metal pin in the valve stem to release pressure. If nothing happens you are either out of air or it's broken. It should flow air with little to no movement. C) If that worked it has to be the connection. Maybe they don't align anymore and can be bent, or maybe you have to buy a better adapter. I'd get something like this(http://amzn.com/B001CJHU9W).

It will not deflate an overinflated tire. You regulate tire inflation pressure by monitoring the gauge on the inflation hose, switching the unit off when the desired pressure is reached.
