What Customers Are Saying

The inflator has a large, easy-to-read pressure gauge, and the trigger mechanism and clip-on nozzle are convenient features. However, some users report inaccurate pressure readings, with the gauge being off by 10-15 PSI. There are also concerns about the product's durability, with issues like the gauge breaking and the connector leaking. While the inflator works well for some users, many caution that the gauge cannot be relied upon for precise tire inflation.

Buyer beware, has NPS threads, not NPT

Would Not Recommend

Be aware, this analog version of the Kobalt inflator has NPS threads, not NPT, and this appears to be a problem. Take a look at air hoses and adapters, do you see any with NPS threads? I can't even locate a NPS (straight) to NPT conversion adapter at Lowes. Lots of reviews here mention leaks. NPS and NPT are not the same type of threads. Kobalt Team in most reviews say "If you ever need assistance, feel free to reach out at 234.678.8060 or customercare@sgyida.com for support.", but I've ema...

You can absolutely use your inflator with NPT fittings. While the inflator does have NPS threads, you can safely connect it using an NPT plug with th...

Leaks At Connection

Would Not Recommend

I bough this in Dec. and used it for the first time last week. Even though I put teflon tape on coupler, it still leaks air at the base. Not sure if I can remove brass fitting in base to add telflon tape inside tge bottom of blue handle. Buy a better product.

The trigger valve started leaking through.

I liked the dial and the price' However after using it a few times the trigger valve stated leaking through which made it difficult to inflate to less than 20 psi.

Works Great

Once I used teflon tape when hooking up to my compressor hose, it worked great. The gauge goes up to your compressor setting when using, then down to tire pressure when not. Really liked how it clipped on to the valve.

PSI reading off

Would Not Recommend

Normally don't leave reviews, but figured I'd let people know my experience with this one. When I bought this, it was kind of a spur of the moment/why not purchase. I've had a cheap Harbor Freight gun style inflator for years but figured I'd upgrade to a "better" model. Used it a few times here and there but just today I went to air up my wife's tires, sticker in the door states 35 PSI. Turned the compressor on and using this I aired the tires up to ~36 PSI since the gauge runs in increments...
