Ordered for my trucks. Looks like it could be bulky for bikes. I can't find the chuck I got with the ball swivel on it.

Instead of that 90° jaco 2 pack, you can get the dual 360° for the same price.

I put one on my inflator gauge. I've yet to encounter a valve stem configuration that couldn't be accessed. When they say zero loss, it's the truth, a brief "pft" when depressing the quick release button.

The needle on the gauge would also slowly drop after releasing the trigger. I promptly returned it the day after purchase. The parts guy told me several were returned for the same issue. Could have been a bad batch?
hmmm, sorry to hear that, I evidently did get lucky. The reviews are mostly good at the HD site so they probably did make a bad batch at some point.
