CO2 Inflator with Tire Levers - Presta & Schrader Valve Compatible - Bicycle Tyre Pump for Road & Mountain Bikes, No CO2 Cartridges Included

I have been riding bikes for exercise with some racing intermittently, but have always been a "portable pump" person after having an experience or two of not getting a good seal on the CO2 inflator and wasting half the air.But I was pleasantly surprised with this kit- the valve is compact but solid, and has indicators for open/closed direction of the lever which are nice reminders. You do have some control to turn on and off the valve but the air fills quickly, so it's easy to over-inflate smaller volume tires if you don't go slowly and check the pressure (my first attempt, I filled a stroller tire to 50PSI when I was shooting for 35 PSI) . It still seems to have more control than another air-chuck I had tried in the past. The foam sleeve for the cartridge is a must, because it gets very cold quickly. Too bad they didn't put a rubber or silicone sleeve around the piece that you screw onto the valve, because that also gets very cold, and a little painful to try and unscrew after filling your tire. But I haven't seen that feature elsewhere, so I won't hold it against this kit.The other thing that is nice is that this chuck screws onto both presta and schrader valves without having to remove/flip any pieces. One pair of wheels with a valve extender had very little thread, but I was still able to get a good enough seal by holding the air-chuck and pressing it against the valve. Just make sure that your wheels/valve-cores are compatible before you are having to get it out and use it on the side of the road, is my advice.The air-chuck valve seals well, and I was able to pump up tires on consecutive days when I hadn't used up all of the CO2 in a single fill.Lastly, the tire levers that they threw in seem really good. Sturdy, not too bendy, but also not hard/brittle like they would easily snap or scratch up your rims. They are better than the last pair of levers that I bought outright, and for the price I wish I would have just purchased this kit instead.Overall- this seems to offer good value and I'll probably keep it handy in my race kit for faster flat-refills than possible with my portable pump (and those great levers will be in the seat tube bag on one of my bikes).

When I ordered this product I didn't expect it to take as long as it did to get to me but it took quite some time so just know that when you're ordering it it's not going to be overnighted to your house you're going to wait almost a month for this. That being said that is the only negative thing I have to say about this product everything else is positive it works as advertised the material is excellent quality material very sturdy Metals it's nice paint that doesn't chip or peel it's not some cheap flimsy piece of junk this is a nice fit finish tool that you will be happy to have in your possession the item works exactly how it is advertised you screw in your CO2 cartridge and you gently turn the lever don't blast it into your tire you can blast it into your tire but you will not be happy if you do so I warn you be very careful and slowly turn that handle little by little it will ice up on you so make sure you put the sleeve around the CO2 cartridge when you're using it so that you can hold that CO2 cartridge without freezing your fingers off. This thing will inflate your tire to an appropriate inflation getting an appropriate PSI. That being said this is something that will not only work for your e-bikes but you may be able to use it in a pinch on your car however on your car you may want to open her up real quick the opposite of what you would do with your bike tire tube having multiple co2s will definitely get you up and running in your car enough to get to the gas station and get your tire inflated properly often times when you're using those Fix-A-Flat cans or like products they don't inflate your tire at all it just normally puts a small amount of air in there but after you input the Fix-A-Flat product you would follow up with a couple of co2s that will safely get you to an air pump. I'm glad I got this product I really didn't know what to expect when I seen it in the ad it looked like a decent product and it almost seemed too good to be true but I had to try it out so I ordered it and I'm glad that I did because it is a fine piece of equipment and it's actually a great idea I don't know why I haven't seen anything like this in the past but it seems like something somebody should have come up with a long time ago I highly recommend it for emergency use and for safety.

It' a fine little pump which came in a box for the screw-on CO2 cartridges it needs. When I opened the box I thought I had ordered the cartridges but instead found the pump. I actually bought the cartridges locally and tested it out and the pump works fine. It comes with a protective sock which you should use since it gets mighty cold if you're filling for long.

So, why would you want to carry this CO2 inflator with you? A lot of designs use a twist knob to control the valve opening, but the use of a lever seems to offer better control. Sure, it is a subtle difference, but I think that slightly less effort is needed when using the lever which results in the better control. The foam sleeve does the job and is essential as the CO2 cartridge gets cold and difficult to handle. The second reason that this is a better kit is that the included tire levers are not just a throw in item, but are strong levers that I would have happily purchased on their own. These levers are strong enough to get a mountain bike tire off (for you ebike owners out there - like me) they have little ridges right in the area where you would want to have some extra grip, and best of all, they nest together so that they store conveniently while in the bike bag and stay together so you are not rooting through the bag to find each lever individually. The color of the levers make them easy to locate when one goes flying off and you need to find it. These levers are definitely designed by someone that has used them and knows what problems people have with tire levers. So, the combination of the CO2 inflator and the tire levers is what makes this kit better than most.
