Our Air Chuck utilizes industry-first features that make them the strongest, most reliable, and easy to use air chucks ever made. Before we get into how our LightningT" Chucks work, let's first cover the other common types of air chucks that you will find.

These are the most common air chucks you will see. They have been around for a long time without much innovation or change and are usually made from steel or brass. However, they have quite a few drawbacks.

If you've ever used these, you probably have experienced how inconsistent they can be. Often times, you will need to "fnght the valve stem" to get a proper seal. The clip-on mechanism is usually pretty stiff, and when you do get a decent seal it's hard to maintain that seal without some minor (or even major) air leakage, especially when using with an air compressor or when you move the hose around.

These chucks are usually very sensitive to movement, and a slight tug of your air hose can completely compromise your seal. What's worse, the clip-on mechanism is not very smooth and often requires multiple attempts to get a proper seal. Also, the body of these chucks are often made up of a few different components that are held together by threading, making them very easy to fall apart on you.

Next, is the "classic" or "manual" air chuck models. These types of air chuck require you to hold them onto the valve stem for as long as you're working on your tires - they do not clip-on or hold the seal on their own. Although these usually have less problems than the above clip-on style chucks in terms of falling apart, they are still a pain because you are required to constantly force the chuck onto youl valve stem to maintain the connection. This can become tiresome very quickly, and is our least preferred option due to the difficulty of use and manual labor.

If you have ever shopped for a portable 12V tire inflator - you have probably seen twist-on air chucks. These types of air chucks are usually made of plastic, steel, or brass and require you to fully twist the chuck on and off the valve stem. These actually provide a decent sealwhen fully twisted on, but the process of twisting them on and off the valve stem takes a lot of time. What' s worse, you are almost guaranteed to lose a decent amount of air from your tire during the disconnection process.

Although these are okay for casual use (i.e. emergency tire inflators in your trunk) we do not recommend these for anything more than that.
