Have y'all seen this?

LockNFlate Locking Air Chuck - Six Steel Jaws Lock onto Any tire Valve - Won't Leak or pop Off - Rated to 150 PSI

It's an air chuck from the LockNLube folks that have a similar locking grease coupler.

I'd tried locking air chucks several times in the past and have always been disappointed and went back to a regular press-on chuck. This thing is pretty expensive for a tire chuck, but I must say that I'm loving this locknflate !

Instead of two thin blades of sheetmetal to grab the threads and hold the valve stem inside the chuck, it's got 6 threaded fingers, kind of like an internally threaded collet. These fingers each engage several threads on the valve stem and pull it securely up against the seal. 

For regular car tires I wouldn't care that much. But It's a real pain to hold a chuck on those bus tires...

I splurged and put the locknflate on a new Milton digital inflator.

Cheers,

Walter

That looks awesome, thanks for sharing! It is a real PITA to use a press on chuck.
