What valve stem extensions are ya'll using? I would prefer not to use the braided hose ones because they seem to be problematic on the equip. we have at work but if it's my only choice ..... TIA

 

I use one of these http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...70_48541_48541.

 

I used the braided ones and twice I have lost the air in the tires due to the whole assembly coming off of the center hub and ripping out the valve stem. I said the heck with it and took off my hubcaps and I just fill them sepretly.

 

genos sells the extensions. The one for the inner tire is braided, though i am running them and have not had a problem yet....

 

On the ones from Geno's, one would think a product by Phoenix USA would be Made in the USA, not so...they are made in China. The country of origin is not on the packaging, but is on the parts. I wouldn't waste my money on the Phoenix USA ones.

Hope this helps...

 

I used some similar to these at geno's.

 

I decided no on the extentions but instead get all metal valve stems & one of these w/the straight chuck. Anybody try one of these yet?

We have 2 of those at the shop. Milton makes a quality product but, make sure to check the accuracy of that filler with a known good gauge.
One of ours is off by 8psi, the other is off by 5psi.
They are both old and have been dropped many times so yours may be perfect, but double check it every once in awhile to be safe.

 

Did you even read my original post?

BTW, it works great.

 

I COMPLETELY missed that post 'till now. Thanks.
