Portable Inflator is not made right

Cons

Inflator nozzle doesn't fit std valves

FEB

2008

The idea is great. I have not tried to jump start a car yet. However, I did try to inflate a tire. The nozzle does not fit on a tire valve. It won't even fit on any of the provided attachments. It's like it was made for some other size valve used in some other country. It is too small by a few millimeters. This is just small enough that it doesn't work. I tried calling the company (a Black and Decker related company). They weren't very helpful. The LED light works. This is an example of "made in China" means "you get what you pay for".

Thanks for your comment. I used a rotary tool to grind down the inside of the tire attachment. After doing this a few times it does fit the tire valve and works fine. Other than this problem, I like the product. I'm curious to see if it will actually jump start a car with a dead battery. Have you or your brother in law tried this? T5

Fits my truck, my wife's van as well as my sons van with no problem. Thats a chevy and 2 dodges which have standard valves! You need to either check the end of the fitting or take it back and exchange it. My brother in law has the same one and his works fine too. Ron
