Stock presta chuck/gauge with a quick disconnect for compressor?

As I'm diving into all tubeless, all the time, I need to start looking for a quality presta chuck with a pressure gauge that has a quick disconnect for my compressor. I've looked a bit and the pickings are a bit sparse. Any good units out there stock...or is this something I need to build?

Parktool's INF-2 is the bomb but comes with a big price tag. It is super rock solid though

I bought something along these lines. Could have sworn it cost $20. Then I added a Silca presta chuck that threads into the Schrader fitting. The gauge is surprisingly accurate, excellent for general-purpose inflation, not so much for those micro adjustments.

+1 to Hindmost.

Years ago I bought the original "Prestaflator" (I think at the time that was the only option). That one broke after not that much use.

I then bought the identical gauge at Harbor freight (for much less) and added a cheap silca type presta chuck. Been running this for many years now. Though I do buy the original Silca seals/gaskets for the presta head!

+3. Mine is paired with an Arundel hiro-style head.

I bought a kit from Harbor Freight for 10 bucks and "blacktaped" the hell out of it, but it still leaks.

Don't follow my example.
