I had been thinking about one of these for awhile and just ordered an Astro 3081. I'll post back how it does. It was $43.88 +tax.
Hose end inflator with gauge
- Thread starter GaryMX5

Bought this at HF when it was on sale for $12. So far it has held up well and works fine. The gauge range could be smaller which would spread out the tick marks and make it easier to read. Say 0-75 psi.
I agree 160 is a bit much. I do deal with some F or G STs that are 100 psi cold inflation, so maybe 120 would be nice. That would still spread out the demarcations to be easier on the eyes.
They say old school machinists' vision suffers because they're regularly squinting to read small lines on cross slides, calipers etc. I believe it! No different here.
Was in a Menard's store a few weeks ago and they had this on their "odds and ends" table for slightly over $20.
It's their house brand and it comes with a battery and charger. Says it inflates to 160 PSI
but I think we all know better.
It has different presets for a bicycle, car tire, sports ball and motorcycle. I haven't had to time to give it a try yet. It says it has a one year warranty and I'm definitely keeping the receipt.

I have this one too, have had it for around 3 years. The indy has a Blue Point/Snap-On one which is identical to it-I didn't have the heart to ask how much he (over)paid for his!
