JACO FlowPro Digital Tire Inflator with Pressure Gauge - 200 PSI

I don't have time to review most of my purchases here but I just had to for this one. The automatic air chuck is just genius and works flawlessly, better than any air chuck I have ever used. The gauge seems to be accurate, too. I have no idea if this will last but it feels pretty substantial. That chuck may eventually need some sort of 0-ring but that should be some years down the road.

Great product and easy to use and very accurate.

I dont frequently give a perfect review or 5 stars but this gage gets 6 stars if I could. This is the best tire gage I have ever had. It was delivered promptly, packaged perfectly, and came out of the box in perfect condition. It already had batteries in it and fired right up. I love the valve stem chuck- it just presses on and locks on with a few fingers. It adds air perfectly and shows the tire pressure digitally when the handle is released. It is made of a metal body and high quality materials. It looks like this will be a favorite for a long time. I would happily give these as a gift or recommend to good friends. I also bought a Jaco analog hand gage and it is also a quality piece.

I bought this item for the valve stem locking mechanism, and the ability to get accurate readings to with in 1/2 pound increments. I’m very happy with the item so far but it’s only been a month. The key to success with this new high tech featured item is how it will last. My last one was the standard analog with an old metered dial. It went 20 years, I doubt this one will go that long but I do like how easy and accurate it is.I use this at the race track and airing the tires properly is critical. So far it’s worked great. If it last getting thrown around at the track and packed up many times in the tool boxes I’d be grateful.

As a diesel technician using this inflator daily on semi-truck tires, I can say the Jaco FlowPro is accurate and durable — it gets the job done reliably. That said, it has a few drawbacks in terms of usability.The inflation lever is stiff and occasionally binds against the body, making one-handed operation tough. Over time, this becomes frustrating, especially when working on multiple tires in a row. The design also lacks a dedicated grip, so you're left holding the steel-braided hose, which isn’t comfortable during extended use.Lastly, both the lever and the hose could be longer to provide better reach and ease of use, especially on larger vehicles.Overall, it’s a solid tool with great accuracy, but a few ergonomic improvements would make it much more user-friendly for professional, high-frequency use.

I love this gauge! The nice thing about it is that as soon as you connect it to your tire valve it lights up and let's you see the pressure immediately. I live in Phoenix AZ and I don't always hook up the compressor to the gauge especially when going into the hotter months. It has a handy little release button on the side which will let air out of the tire. I like that feature because you don't have to remove the gauge if you put in too much air or like I do when changing seasons. The digital readout is much easier to see as opposed to linear gauges and also the fact that it lights up instantly.

Got the JACO FlowPro digital tire inflator gauge today just 2 days after ordering. Came w/ 2 AAA batteries already installed. I just pulled the insulator strip, and it lit up!. "00.0 psi". Came w/ a quick disconnect male air hose fitting AND a small roll of Teflon tape (what, no wrench?)! I've got a couple of mechanical dial gauges that I trust, (but they're not inflators), so I compared the JACO to them on a tire w/ 37 psi. They all read within 0.5 psi of each other! This comparison was done using the JACO as a gauge w/o an air compressor hose connected. It lights up (wakes up?) and reads tire pressure as soon as it's straight clip-on hits the tire valve. It bleeds off (goes to 00.0 psi) as the clip-on is removed from the tire valve. The last gauge reading stays lit for 2 mins, then goes dark. The 2 AAA batteries will probably have to be replaced in about 10-15 yrs. from now. The gauge is activated to "On" again simply by pressurizing it. That's nice. No switch to turn on/off. And it always comes up w/ the units you set (psi for me) w/o having to choose every time you use it.Using the tape provided, I installed the air hose fitting (after checking for correct fit-up to my quick disconnect compressor hose chuck), snapped in onto the hose, and squeezed the trigger. W/o being connected to a tire, the gauge showed the compressor's tank pressure w/o leaking or blowing any air through it's straight clip/chuck. How cool is that!! Push the bleed off, and it goes back to 00.0 psi.So here's the big test: Inflating the rear tire of my motorcycle. The rear tire valve is only visible for 25*-30* (out of 360) next to the floor, under the muffler and rear cog. Indian m/c owners will understand. Unless you have a big m/c lift to get this monster up a couple feet, you'll be laying on your side on a concrete floor (if you're lucky). Once I got it clipped onto the valve, the gauge read the same as the bike's TPMS. Great! Squeeze the trigger, let off and read the pressure. Repeat. Opps! Went too far. Wanted 41 psi, but got 42.5. No sweat. Push the bleed off button, read, repeat. And it's right there. 41.0 psi. Pull the clip chuck off the tire valve and I'm done (well ok; replace the valve stem cap.). That was so much fun that I did the front tire (it's much easier) just for laughs.Finally after my 50 yr. collection of pressure gauges, inflators, inflator-gauges, and air chucks of all shapes, I've got something that works as it should. Right out of the box. Batteries included, Teflon tape included, air hose fitting included, and even a tire valve screw-on fitting (if you don't like the clip-on) is included. You can read it in the dark, it's dead accurate as far as I know (in the 36-41 psi range that I tested), reads in 0.5 psi increments (didn't try any of the other 3 units) supposedly up to 200 psi, will read upstream and downstream pressure, turns itself on and off, and won't break the bank. What's not to like? Thanks JACO.BTW, I do very few reviews (can't ya tell?), but for this device I had to give my 2 cents. Also, I did not receive any compensation for this review, nor do I know anyone from JACO. I paid the full amount from Amazon, got it 2 days later, and wrote this the same day. I tested it in 65* F temps., so I can't speak to how it'll work in temperature or pressure extremes. Also, I can't say how much abuse it'll take (I'm a home mechanic) in a commercial environment.

This is a quality product. Comes with batteries already installed. As soon as you connect to an air valve this unit automatically turns on and displays air pressure. Numbers are big and easy to read. You can use it without connecting to air compressor as a tire gauge. The deflator button is a great feature as well.
