Confusion: Cheap screw-on valve extensions can leak and even lead to running soft and tire failure. Custom formed solid metal valve assemblies like Borg Dually valves need to be installed onto each wheel and do not leak, make checking and adding air easy.
^^^Correct^^^
Some OP's have their home brew work-arounds and that's OK. I wanted to be able to both Check Pressure and Add Air with Any Gauge, Any Chuck, and the custom valves accomplish that.
My second choice would be Braided Airless Extensions. By Airless, they don't open the actual tire valve till we push a gauge or chuck onto the extension. There's a flexible push rod that accomplishes this.
***BUT*** ONLY if the actual Tire Valves are METAL!!! You don't want any additional weight on "rubber" valves, even those "high pressure" ones.
