Five stars if you take two min to fix the tire chuck.... one star if you dont!
If you read the reviews- lots of people complain about the tire chuck not working properly. When my unit came- I had the same problem on my 2014 car. I couldn't push the tire chuck down far enough onto the tire's valve stem to engage the pin valve to let air into the tire. Tried on my other two cars... didn't work on them either.I was ready to send the unit back for a refund- when I noticed you could take the tire chuck apart, so with nothing to loose I disassembled it by simply unscrewing the clip-on piece from the threaded hose end. Inside the chuck was only one part... a 3/16" thick soft white silicone washer that was responsible for sealing the chuck to the valve stem while filling the tire. It was also the part that was preventing the chuck from fully sitting down far enough on the tire's valve stem to push open the tire's pin valve. So, I used a utility knife and shaved about 1/16" off the washer so instead of being 3/16" thick, now it was 1/8" thick. I put the modified washer (with cut side sitting against the brass chuck base not outward towards the tire valve- for better sealing), screwed the chuck back onto the threaded hose end and gave it a try out on my car.Well, now the chuck clipped onto the valve stem very securely and instantly/correctly operated the tire's pin valve showing me the tire's pressure and allowing me to fill it to the correct pressure with just one hand.So a two min fix with a utility knife/razor blade fixes the tire chuck problem... permanently!As to the accuracy of the built in gauge... it exactly matched my Joe's Racing Garage (known for their accuracy) analog gauge... both showed my tires at 37PSI. I filled them up to 40 PSI and both gauges agreed once again.If you fix the chuck, this inflator's a steal because it's all metal and good quality.. if you don't... it's worthless.

I like the continuous pressure gauge
I like the continuous pressure gauge, but the inflation connector is very low quality and falls apart every time I try to secure it to a valve stem. See attached pictures. I am unable to use it.

this seems to be great quality to me
Despite the super-cheap price, this seems to be great quality to me. I haven't had it long, so I can't speak to its longevity though. But compared to the $112 for the item I was looking at, I can buy 10 of these before I start losing money!!So I converted this for about $10 to presta for bike tires. Lots of bike shops use the Air Bob inflator or the new Park Tool Shop Inflator. These are expensive. Here's what you do: buy this, and buy the Air Bob replacement head (google it, and you'll see several places that sell it for about $9 - your local shop can also get it for you). You cut off the schrader end and insert the air bob head, which comes with a hose clamp. There's only one bit of rigging you'll have to do: the male fitting on the Air Bob is too small for the hose of this inflator. You need a snug, air-tight fit of course. I went to the hardware store and bought a foot of 1/4" OD / 0.17" (or 3/16" would work) ID vinyl tubing. This had an inner diameter that fit around the Air Bob head, and an outer diameter that fit in the inflator hose. This functioned as a shim. Tightened down the hose clamp and it was perfect!I verified the pressure with my SKS Gauge at 30 PSI and 70 PSI, and it was 3 PSI high both times. Since I believe the SKS is a little low, I consider this perfect! (Plus, as long as the gauge is consistent that's all that matters - you just don't want it to be high by 2 PSI here, and low by 10 PSI there, etc.)(If you want to try this and have questions, leave a comment.)

Not worth the $11. Buy a better gauge
I thought I had previously reviewed this item, but can not find it. Anyway, was excited to get a gauge like this. I did use it relatively quickly after getting it. Like most complaints, the tire valve "lock" would not stay on, and would only partially depress the valve stem, thus letting air out and decreasing pressure. It only worked if you would press and hold the connector tight on the valve. It worked ok if you did this. It did, however, accurately read tire pressure while inflating or just checking pressure. Fast forward to yesterday when I needed to inflate one tire, and, after filling to the recommended "34 psi" the tire just didn't look right. Checked the pressure again, with this gauge, and it was "right on" for 34 psi. I then got the "old timer's" stick gauge which showed 15 psi. I next checked with a digital gauge, which showed 15.5 psi. Upon closer inspection of the Campbell Hausfeld gauge (this product) I realized the gauge dial was on 20, not zero where it should be. Nothing I did would reset the gauge to zero. Checked it again today, and it still showed my tire to be at 36 psi. However, it started at 20, so my tire was actually around 14 psi. Unfortunately, this is past the 6 month amazon warranty. Basically it is garbage. Don't bother with it. (photo shows the gauge stuck at 20 psi)

Inflator works, but the gauge is worthless
I really wanted to like this product but the gauge is so terrible off. I knew for pressures under about 40 lbs its best to get a gauge that doesn't go too high in pressure in order to have larger, more accurate increments, but I figured this unit could fill my tires and at least get me close. If it got close, I wouldn't give it 1 star. I took a motorcycle trip from California to Nevada, Utah, Colorado and back with severely underinflated tires because I trusted it would be close. My steering was a bit heavy so I finally used two other very accurate (gauge only) gauges and found that 35 lbs on this is actually about 26 lbs in reality. I suggest getting an inflator without a gauge and then a separate gauge that is accurate. Did I simply get a bad one? I don't know, but even though I've had it awhile, maybe a year, I've only used it a dozen times or so. Very disappointed.

BEWARE - Don't waste your money!
An extremely disappointing product considering the brand name, Campbell Hausfeld. The dial is made of cheap cardboard that warps upwards causing the needle to jam and the connector doesn't hold firmly onto the valve threads and constantly leaks air when operating. Stay away from this junk!

Not Exactly As Advertised but only by colour
The colour and look are a bit off compared to the picture in advertised but I am not finding similar problems as some other reviewers have had. I haven't tried to see if it works properly yet. But mine has the CH on the handle and a proper gauge face (not flimsy cardboard like others experienced).

Recomendable
Producto de buena calidad, el único pero es que dependiendo del pivote de la llanta a inflar el broche no se puede fijar por sí solo, es decir, hay que estar agarrándolo para que no se salga el aire.

I like it
It is a nice inflator and seems well made but I don't like the chuck to grab onto the tire. Also I was disappointed that the chuck was not a screw in kind so that I could easily change it.

Nice solid tool
So far I have use it as my gauge after inflating my tire with my existing chuck. It came in its original sealed package and works well with the nice bleed valve to fine adjust all tire pressure after over inflating a bit. There are generic lookalike in the market but with an established company like Campbell Hausfield, can't go wrong. Would have been 5 stars if it includes a 1/4" FPT plug.

Muy frágil, poco aguante.
Funciona bien, pero es muy frágil. Se descompuso simplemente de traerla en la cajuela. No la recomiendo, es demasiado frágil.

Recomiendo 100%
Es bastante preciso y facilita mucho la correcta lectura y llenado de aire en los neumáticos. Es muy recomendable tener uno en casa.

Buena calidad
Buena calidad, lo malo que no es compatible con las valvulas de los neumáticos de mis motos y la camioneta, son cortos y el mandril es muy profundo ahora tengo que conseguir un adaptador o ver como le hago para que funcione.

Gran producto
Muy cómodo de usar, lo probamos para las llantas del automóvil y de la moto, fusiona muy bien, fácil de leer los PSI y de dejar escapar aire si uno se pasa de presión.

Excelente
Muy buena opción para inflar neumáticos, el que puedas ver la presión sin tener que quitarlo ayuda mucho

... the guage So on that basses I would not recommend this product to a friend
The pressure gauge does not work well every time you stop putting air in the valve it doesn't release air in to the guageSo on that basses I would not recommend this product to a friend.

Tire inflator leaking air
Terrible product... I had to take off the old tire inflator tube and replace the defective tire inflator tube on this gun... Terrible...

A great piece of hardware that anyone who tends to their own vehicle, and others, should definitely own. Sturdy, simple and precise.
