JACO Lightning S2-Series Tire Air Chuck - 1/4" F-NPT (Open Flow) (2-Pack)

Easy to install and use. Very well built. Don’t leak at all. Easy to remove if needed. Overall great look and value for the price. Highly recommended.

Well made works well

This is a "quick connect" push connector which fits most tire inflators - I use it on my Milwaukee M18 inflator. You merely push this fitting onto the schrader valve on most tires, and inflate to the desired pressure. To remove the fitting from the tire valve, push the button on the side of the fitting, and it pops off immediately.You will need to buy an adapter for your inflator hose. I purchased this one here on Amazon:"GODESON Air Inflator Adapter,1/4 NPT (m) to Standard Schrader Valve (M),Schrader Valve Adapter for Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor/Pump without Valve Stem Inside (Pack of 2)"

These function just fine except that they can be fiddly to attach to or remove from the valve. If you're angled just a hair, they'll jam going on or off. Not a huge deal, you just have to develop a bit of technique. But I knocked off a star because of that.Once attached they seal to the valve perfectly, and stay put with no leaks until you press the release. Just like they're supposed to. No complaints so far about the quality, they seem solidly built.These are the only air chucks that I've found that allow me to air up the spoked rear wheel of a Harley Highway King. Nothing else I've tried is able to get past the gauntlet of spokes, brake disc and drive pulley to reach the valve. Not even the official Harley inflator, which claims to enable access to "hard-to-reach motorcycle valve stems", will work on my bike. So I'm very grateful to JACO for these chucks.I'd be happier if they sold them in a pack of 1. Why was I forced to buy two of them? The extra one is sitting in a drawer where it will probably remain for years. Well at least I have a spare. Four stars for the product, one star for "value for the money".These are free flowing chucks - no internal valve. If you connect directly to an air hose, air will noisily rush out. Many reviewers have complained about that (can't they read?), consider your application before purchasing.

I thought I would try the less expensive JACO Lightening 52, before I dropped major dollars on a LockNFlate style air chuck. I am so glad that I did. One could not ask for a better air chuck. This JACO Lightning S2-Series Tire Air Chuck was the perfect addition to my RapidAir tire inflator. I had purchased a RapidAir K3015 Automatic Shutoff Digital, Preset Tire Inflator. The K3015, is a fabulous tool, but it is expensive. Even at a high price point, it comes standard with the old style clip on brass air chuck. The kind of air chuck that you have to mess with all the time to keep it from leaking air around the valve stem. I replaced the Included OEM chuck with a JACO Lightning. It was a 100% improvement. There is no fiddling or fussing with the Jayco. Just push it on the valve stem and you are ready for hands-free inflation. When you are ready to remove it from the valve stem, simply press the release on the side and it pops right off. Don't hesitate to order it. It definitely works as advertised.Note: Air chucks come in 2 types, open or closed. Only the “OPEN” style chuck will work correctly on any inflation tool that has a pressure gauge or a digital pressure readout, included on the device. A “closed” and/or self-sealing, shut off, type chuck, will prevent any inline tire pressure pressure gauge from working. That is because A “closed” self-sealing, chuck, will not allow the air flow back from the tire, in the opposite direction to put pressure against the gauge. Only use a closed chuck on an air hose that you do not want to deliver air, unless it is connected on a valve stem.

I am an old guy and stooping down and or kneeling is not fun for me. I had the kind where you hold down a lever, push it on, and then let go of the lever expecting it to hold it on the valve stem. If you are reading this, you probably know how well that works. A while ago I stumbled on one where you screw it on the valve stem. I eagerly bought it. At first it seemed great. It doesn't leak or come off. The problem is that the threads have to be aligned perfectly or it won't screw on. It took more bending and kneeling than my original one to get it on. Maybe a different brand would be better, I don't know, but there don't seem to be that many of that kind available. I really didn't want to spend this much, and I really don't need two, but I am glad I did. It really works amazingly well. Just push it on and it locks automatically. When you are done, push the little button and it comes off. It really is that easy. It seems to be made well and I don't expect it to wear out quickly. Buy it. You won't be sorry.

i have a harley davidson road king motorcycle with spoked wheels and anybody who has filled air into this has gone through the exasperation of trying to "air up" the rear tireskinned knuckles and watching air escape as you try to desperately try to remove the air chuck of your choice......... i curse the hd engineer who put that valve in that positionbut, long story short, i bought this jaco lock-on chuck and fit it on a jaco inflatord gauge and connected it securely within seconds, inflated to 40 lbs and then pressed unlock lever and with a short "psst" off it came with no air escapingthis product performs!

This chuck makes checking air pressure a snap. I wish I had bought it sooner.
