Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I nearly passed on this product after reading some reviews, and that would have been a shame because this is a great product. It's overkill for my home garage, but it's all in one, it’s neat and I like it. Glad I bought it. Three criticisms that I’d like to comment on that might help someone else … • The gauge and chuck are difficult to handle: One review painted a picture in my mind of a chuck flailing around wildly, mercilessly dinging any car in it’s path. I frankly don't understand this: I have the chuck in one hand and the lever/gauge in the other. I don't mean to be thick about it, but I don’t understand the problem. To the contrary, the lead in hose, combined with a swiveling, dual chuck means that from wheelbarrows and bicycles, to tandem wheel trucks, construction vehicles and everything in between, it is highly unlikely that you will ever come across a valve you can’t reach, or reach more conveniently. • The gauge is imprecise and hard to read: I’ve always been a bit farsighted and now more so as I get older. I hold a 12 pt font almost arms length to read it clearly without reading glasses. But even without my readers, I can see easily both when the gauge lines up on a pressure mark and when it falls between two marks. The gauge is marked in 2lb increments, but I would not call it 2lb resolution. I'm confident I'm within 1lb error max. The difference in temperature when you fill the tire is going to have a greater effect than these markings. • The chuck does not have a clip: I specifically did not want a clip. I passed right away on other chucks because they have clips. I just want to be able to push the valve stem and release. Quick and easy. First, clips make it a two step process. Second, based on my experience with any number of bicycle pumps, I've often not been able to release the clip without losing a good bit of air. When I take the Milton off the stem, there's only the slightest whisp heard - essentially no air lost. I mean, what is the point of a super accurate inflator if you lose a pound or more of air when you detach it? It seemed a little expensive to me, but I now add one more feature to the above: it appears to be indestructible - I’m confident I could run over it repeatedly without damage. I know it’s not going to break. I hope someone has found this helpful.
