PRO BIKE TOOL CO2 Inflator Quick & Easy - Presta & Schrader Valve Compatible - Bicycle Tyre Pump For Road & Mountain Bikes - Insulated Sleeve - No CO2 Cartridges Included

I bought this with my eyes wide shut,simply thinking that my wrists were painful enough just riding the bike (old injuries), without struggling to use a pump. I didn't know that CO2 permeates through the tube and tyre and that you lose pressure constantly, so didn't realise this is mainly for use when you are out and about and are fixing a puncture/replacing a tube, just to get you home so to speak.However, now I know its intended use I can categorically state that it is superb at its job and can highly recommend it. I've been cycling for decades and have always been prone to punctures, in my bike tyres mainly but elsewhere on occasion I have to admit.There's something very pleasing about being able to inflate your newly mended tube/tyre in 2 or 3 seconds, instead of having to faff about with a silly little pump (I don't care how good you think your mini pump is, it's crap, they all are, I've spent a small fortune on the sh122y little things). This co2 gadgy will ease the process of fixing your tyre fault and getting you home easily. Once you are home I recommend deflating the tyre completely and using a decent pump (12v, available on Amazon) to refill it with air., It will hold pressure as normal then.One last thing I must mention, the first one of these I ordered was a bit stiff to operate, I found it hard to turn the little lever. So, I emailed the seller with a simple enquiry as to whether this was normal, expecting to be told that I should put a spot of oil somewhere or other, (easy tiger). But no, much to my surprise and delight I received a replacement the next day, not just the valve but the entire product. the replacement was much easier for me to operate the little lever, so did the trick, can't ask more that that can I? The first on was just bad luck, one of those things, but the second was everything the reviews I'd read lead me to expect.I recommend this. Bigtime.

Twenty-four hours before I bought this item, I'd received a nearly-identical product from Lezyne: a tiny, immaculate, CO2 bike tyre inflater. Lezyne seemed to get the best reviews, and is a fairly well known marque. I thought I'd chosen the best option available. BUT ...Turned out that the Lezyne inflator has no internal threading, so you can't actually screw it onto a tyre valve, or, more important to me, you can't connect it to a high-pressure air hose or football needle adapter.But you CAN do all of this with the PRO BIKE TOOL device, which is the subject of this review. And it works a treat: an easily rotating "head" lets you screw down onto your valve (or needle or hose or whatever) without having to rotate the entire tool. The lever-style gas tap works perfectly, and although the manufacturers suggest otherwise, you can shut the flow off and keep the rest of the unused CO2 in your canister apparently indefinitely.I was so impressed, I also bought the PRO BIKE TOOL version with a built-in storage canister that can hold a spare CO2 bulb.Gorgeous kit, brilliantly designed and manufactured. Might even try it on my bike next time I need to pump my tyres!

Very good,quick easy to use. Will pumping up tyre very quickly. Good if ina race.

Not used it at the moment, tucks away in your pocket very easy small enough to go in my tool pack very well made light weight I loved the email I got after purchased from the seller advising on use and life time warranty any issues been asked to contact the seller. I will update when I use the pump. if looking for a co2 pump you will not be disappointedI have now used for the first time on Saturday and it so a lot better than my old one no leaks and the pressure gauge made it so easy to control the pressure and speed of fill.I would advise anyone thinking about purchasing this just do it you will not be disappointed well done pro bike tools

I used this inflator for the first time today and to say I was impressed would be an understatement.The Pro Bike Tool is beautifully made and presented and comes with a comprehensive set of instructions. Upon opening the package the excellent design, manufacture and finish of the product is immediately evident. But how would it work? Attaching the foam collar to a CO2 cartridge and after checking the valve was in the closed position before screwing the cartridge into the tool, the first problem was evident. I was expecting some indication that the cartridge had been pierced, a hiss or tiny leek, nothing. Ensuring the cartridge was indeed fully screwed in, I attached the head to the presta valve on my bike and slowly turned the valve,the tyre started to inflate and the rate of inflation was easily controlled with the valve. There was some icing around the screw on head and ice on the valve but very minimal. The tyre was fully inflated in seconds and I was able to stop and check the tyre pressure through the inflation process. Very, very impressive piece of kit.

Feels like a good quality product. It’s my first time using one of these as I have converted to tubeless. Overall it works very well, with the 16g CO2 cartridges I was able to bead my 27.5x2.5 tyres first go. However, I found that the 2 in 1 was very fiddly, and didn’t really fit on the presta valves very well. The instructions tell you to seat the inflator deep onto the valve, but I found it difficult to even get the threads of the inflator to touch the thread of the valves. When I eventually got it on far enough and started to thread it on, the inflator would tilt and an angle as though it was being crossed threaded, and would do this no matter what I tried to get it to seat properly. Anyway, I sent it and done it up as tight as I could and managed to bead my tyres. Although I was not confident the product was on securely. I would definitely wear gloves though, even though a sleeve is provided the tap on the inflator is metal and gets very cold.
