Having a couple gauges that I no longer trusted sitting in a drawer, my ancient inflator went belly up. So I looked around, and did not see anything I wanted to spend my $$ on.
I need a straight foot inflator with the ability to release air and of course needs to be accurate.
So with it on sale and my 20% off coupon I bought a Harbor freight inflator. I removed the angled foot and replaced it with my straight foot. Removed the made in China by lowest bidder gauge and replaced it with a high quality liquid filled gauge.
Likely too much effort for most but I am very happy with it.
