Now that I think about it, this sounds like an electrical versus mechanical shifting debate point 😀
Use the included extension adapter. One end screws onto valve and the other the inflator. It's stupid proof. Plus it is safe on TPU tubes.

first real life use

on club ride yesterday. bud got a flat. it was hot out and you know that feeling when the bud says oh sh*t i think i got a flat. and your 20 mph cruise through the vineyards comes to an immediate halt. and you stop out in the middle of bumphuck and three other buds stop too to help. and each person wants to assert their perfect approach to fixing a flat. and the flatted person is trying to be nice and accept everyone's input. and one says ok we got the wire out of the tire now let's insert the new tube. and i say did you check the entire inside circumference? and the smartass says no need cuz we got the wire. and the rider decides to check the inside and finds the other half of the wire in there. and thanks me for the advice.

then all want to see the cycplus in action...and it works flawlessly. 700c x 28 to 70 psi in under a minute.

turn on the power, set desired psi on the display, then turn on the pump. it pumps until it reaches that pressure, then turns itself all the way off.

Also, the specs say it's accurate to 1psi. That's good enough for me.
