Inflator head for compressor?

[vqdriver]

I have one of those presta/schrader inflators but it sucks on presta. Any good ones that fit both valve types? Park has no lead hose and i believe is presta only

My local bike shop has Silca presta heads mounted to their hose with a hose clamp.
Silca chucks just press right on to a presta valve- Delivers the most pressure to the tire that I have seen.

Nice products, well executed, worth checking out.

I have this one from Amazon. It's been working quite well and didn't break the bank. It's not a dedicated Presta, but have not had any issues.

One good option can be this:

Just insert it into whatever Schrader inflator you have & bingo.

I used one of those with one of these, and my wife is much happier topping off her own tires than she was with a standard floor pump. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-18-Volt-ONE-Cordless-Power-Inflator-Tool-Only-P737/206159256
She had zero interest in operating my actual air compressor (which is on the other side of the garage, behind the Jeep, loud & noisy, etc). I just keep a somewhat-fresh battery in it & leave it near where her bike & gear hang. The Silca head grabs on to Presta valve stems nicely & holds well.

But for my go-to setup, I long-ago abandoned trying to make one pump head work for both Presta & Shrader. I just keep two separate "guns", each with it's own gauge, and pop each onto the end of my air hose just like any other air tool, as needed. Shrader-only versions of this are quite inexpensive, and I've found even a lower-end model to have an accurate-enough gauge for car tires, or any bike I'm going to have that used Shrader valves. For Presta, I've used a Prestaflator, and a hybrid version that has used both a Hirame and a Silca head - I prefer the homemade one. I'm now much happier with this setup - fewer compromises. :beer:

I would second EVT inflators. One of these https://www.efficientvelo.com/product-category/inflation/ should do the trick nicely. I have been using one of Brett's presta only inflator heads for about five years now and it has worked fantastically. I am still on the original urethane gasket too. They last a long time. I might never need the two spares I bought when I got the inflator!

I bought a Schrader inflater with gage at Harbor Freight and replaced the Schrader end with a Silca head. Cheap. Already had the Silca head.

I looked at all the options and ended up purchasing a Park, largely because it’s a Park. https://www.parktool.com/product/shop-inflator-inf-2

The Topeak twinhead is on my air compressor and has been working without fail for me for about 15-20 years now. I use the schraeder side on my cars.

I was considering just swapping the head as well but didnt know what came with those replacement heads. Does it include the insert and nut for the hose side ? Fwiw the hose on my amazon inflator is 1cm outer diameter.

I cut the hose off of a busted floor pump and hoseclamped it onto an on/off valve and pressure gauge. I would love a proper one and said I would get one if this kludgy setup fails. but it still works.

This. I like mine a bunch.

I have inflated 5 tires so far and seems to be working. Pump head is Lezyne twin head ordered through amazon. I may do this over again with Arundel head now that I see it can work.

Mine is the same...that ....P..O...S....just....won't......die.

And it probably won't for the foreseeable future, after all, it's just inflating tires, how hard is that?

Me too, works great, so far no reason to upgrade.Me too. FWIW, the HF gauge reads the same as my SKS digital.
