AT875 Tire Inflator Air Tool with Digital Pressure Gauge

First, I'll say that I didn't want a digital gauge and was looking for an analog unit, but the analog units weren't that much cheaper and were not as highly reviewed. So, I decided to try this one out. After using it, I'm glad I got this one, and my wife liked using it too. I had a cheapie analog chuck from Harbor Freight that stopped working after only a handful of uses, so I chucked it in the trash and ordered this one.I've only had this a couple days and used it twice, but so far it seems great. It can do PSI, kPa, bar and one other unit that is escaping me right now. The gauge is bright and easy to read, the handle is comfortable and seems high quality, I like that it comes with the quick disconnect hardware built in, and the pressure-release button is in a handy location as well. The locking mechanism takes a little bit to get used to -- once I figured out the locking tab should point towards the center of the tire, it worked 100% of the time for me, and feels like it should last for a long time.I am a little concerned about storing the item with the provided AAA batteries in it in case they leak and corrode the battery compartment, so I might take them out when not in use. I also echo the complaint other people have -- when you are not letting air flow, it displays the PSI of the tire. But when you're pumping air, you get a fluxuation of pressures as air leaves your compressor and enters the tire. This makes sense, because the gauge is just reading the current pressure, but it's kind of annoying that you need to pump, stop and check, pump, stop and check, etc. It's just a minor annoyance though and not enough to make me dislike the tool.

If you own a motorcycle with large(r) front/rear rotors it can be a bit of a challenge to measure the PSI for your tires (tight, cramped fit). And if you use the ubiquitous (i.e. cheap) pencil-style PSI gauge your results are not likely as accurate or repeatable. This is amply demonstrates with the inconsistency between what my PSI-pencil gauge and my TPMS (as much as 2.5 PSI front tire and 3.7 to 4 for the back). The point to all this preamble is that the “Torgify AT875 Tire Inflator Air Tool . . . “ provides an accurate reading (i.e. consistent with my TPMS) with the abilility to inflate the tires while measuring real-time pressure, while allowing you to bleed off excess if you over inflate. You get an easy to use, well though-out design, made with sturdy materials. I particularly appreciate the braided stainless-steel hose and the all-metal construction. The spring-loaded, locking inflator nozzle (chuck????) holds tight and is key to the ease of use. I will say that a 90-degree chuck would help in tight places. I do not hesitate to recommend this product.

I looked at several digital tire inflators. For the price this one appeared the best value. Metal construction, brass coupling, pistol grip. Only problem was that the digital gauge read 18 psi for a tire that was actually inflated to 35 psi. This type of device is worthless if the reading is that inaccurate. Forced to return. Purchased a similialy priced unit on amazon that works correctly. Can not recommend this item.Updated - replacement received from seller. Replacement unit works correctly. Apparently the first item received was damaged during shipment resulting in inaccurate reading.

I received this gauge I think on 3/24 and used it almost immediately. Connecting the outlet chuck to the valve stem took some getting used to quite frankly. At first it would leak the air out while I was trying (kind of struggling) to get air in. But the trick is to first make sure that the chuck is pushed ALL the way into your valve stem, and then release the lock to hold it firmly in place. From that point forward it becomes a one handed operation when filling up your tires. Very good product, strong metal body, definitely NOT flimsy. It feels good in your hands and easy to operate. My gauge is very accurate, I mean on the money. I am very happy with the purchase, the price is not bad at all for such a great product. I certainly would recommend this to a friend. Happy pumping!

Final Update: Tried out second unit. It’s flawless and works great.Posting update. Received replacement today. Fitting is ran all the way down but no split in the casting. Looking forward to validating no leak and will update. But for now I wanted to recognize seller for standing behind the product and making it right. Also, re-reflecting on first order the batteries were already installed on first unit and second one they were in sealed wrapper separate from gage. Point being because seller (Adam) was quite engaged in resolving I may have received one that was a return item that someone else either knew it was damaged and did not report it or damaged it and returned it without saying anything. Speculative on my part but because I have to put the batteries in myself on the second unit someone obviously handled the first one and installed it’s batteries.Pictures are of second item without cracked casting along center line of pistol grip. Also, note batteries are packaged separately and that denotes no one handled post the original manufacturer. Hope this helps. Moral of the story if your item is damaged please report it so it doesn’t get shipped out to someone else accidentally.Pros:1) digital display quality is robust.2) stainless steel braided hose is also plus.3) brass chuck lock and lever is well made.Cons:1 ) pistol grip cast split adjacent to inlet fitting and effect it major air leaking.Manufacturer should consider die casting, thicker material or control their torque process for a tapered thread that by simple physics is a wedge and ramp and laden with potential mechanical advantage to split even the strongest casting.
