Question Dually Wheel Valve Extenders

This may be a silly question, but this is my first dually.

What do you recommend for a permanent-type valve extender that will work well for airing up, and checking pressure, of dually rears, especially the inners? I've seen some on a website, but there are rubber and braided, some for lined or not, and I don't know quite what that means.

All I want is something so that I can quickly and easily check pressure with my gauge, and be able to fit the nozzle of the pressure hose on.

Thanks.

Be careful of the extenders that use the hose to bring a fitting out to where you can get at it. I had the braided (the "good" ?? one) on one of my motorhomes. It cost me a set of tires. As suggested, just get the dual offset gauge and chuck. I have a gauged chuck that is great - - very accurate and quick.

I agree with FiverBob. My Dad also had a problem using an extension. A load of soybeans makes for lots of shoveling. Stay with the suggestion of the extended gauge and chuck.

Thanks guys. Now, where can I get one of these handy dandy items? Any auto store, like Pep Boys?
