IMPORTANT: this is an OPEN FLOW style air chuck. This means that air will flow freely through the chuck as soon as an air source is connected and turned on. There is no check valve inside this air chuck - air will flow through the chuck whether or not it is engaged with the tire valve stem.
Open flow style air chucks are designed to be used with:
Open flow style air chucks should not be directly connected to the airline of an air compressor with air tank (such as a pancake compressor) since they will deplete the air from the tank. If using with an air compressor with tank, you must also use an inline, hand-operated tire inflation tool.

We must be doing something right!An air chuck, by definition, is simply a device that is used to hold an object in place while it is being worked on by a pneumatic machine, such as an air compressor.
One of the most common types of air chuck is a tire chuck. Tire air chucks connect to the stem or hose of a tire gauge, inflator, or air compressor. The tire chuck holds the air line onto the tire valve stem, so that air can flow freely between the tire and tool being used to check, inflate, or deflate tire pressure.
Open flow air chucks allow the air to pass freely through the chuck, even if the chuck is not engaged with the tire valve stem. Open flow air chucks do not have an internal check valve. This style is ideal for use with 12-volt tire inflators, onboard air compressor systems, hand-operated tire inflator tools, and tire gauges.
Closed flow air chucks feature internal check valve that block air from flowing through unless the chuck is engaged with the tire valve stem, which makes them more efficient for using directly on the air line of an air compressor with tank such as a pancake-style compressor.
Our Lightning™ Series air chucks utilize industry-first features that make them the strongest, most reliable, and easy to use air chucks ever made. Before we get into how our Lightning™ Chucks work, let's first cover the other common types of air chucks that you will find.
These are the most common air chucks you will see. They have been around for a long time without much innovation or change and are usually made from steel or brass. However, they have quite a few drawbacks.
If you've ever used these, you probably have experienced how inconsistent they can be. Often times, you will need to "fight the valve stem" to get a proper seal.
The clip-on mechanism is usually pretty stiff, and when you do get a decent seal it's hard to maintain that seal without some minor (or even major) air leakage, especially when using with an air compressor or when you move the hose around. These chucks are usually very sensitive to movement, and a slight tug of your air hose can completely compromise your seal.
What's worse, the clip-on mechanism is not very smooth and often requires multiple attempts to get a proper seal. Also, the body of these chucks are often made up of a few different components that are held together by threading, making them very easy to fall apart on you.
Next, is the "classic" or "manual" air chuck models. These types of air chuck require you to hold them onto the valve stem for as long as you're working on your tires - they do not clip-on or hold the seal on their own. Although these usually have less problems than the above clip-on style chucks in terms of falling apart, they are still a pain because you are required to constantly force the chuck onto your valve stem to maintain the connection.
This can become tiresome very quickly, and is our least preferred option due to the difficulty of use and manual labor.
If you have ever shopped for a portable 12V tire inflator - you have probably seen twist-on air chucks. These types of air chucks are usually made of plastic, steel, or brass and require you to fully twist the chuck on and off the valve stem. These actually provide a decent seal when fully twisted on, but the process of twisting them on and off the valve stem takes a lot of time. What's worse, you are almost guaranteed to lose a decent amount of air from your tire during the disconnection process.
Although these are okay for casual use (i.e. emergency tire inflators in your trunk) we do not recommend these for anything more than that.
We have solved all of the problems of the previous three air chuck options, resulting in the strongest, most reliable, and easy to use air chucks ever.
100% airtight seal every timeOur patented AirLock™ Internal Locking System utilizes internal locking clamps with superior hold strength that lock onto the tire valve with a simple push, providing a 100% air tight seal that will never leak or fail you, even under high pressure or movement.
Most of our Lightning™ Series air chucks offer one of more integrated 360-degree swivel points that allow you to completely rotate the chuck from various points, allowing easy access to the tire valve stem from any angle, while eliminating any tension that will cause other air chucks to "pop off" or leak air.
No more fighting the valve stem for a proper seal. No more air loss.
Lightning Fast Removal, Zero Air Loss.Next, we have integrated Quick-Release Technology into all of our Lightning™ Series air chucks. Our quick-release valves are easily accessible on every model air chuck we offer, allowing you to rapidly disconnect from the tire valve stem with absolutely zero air loss - completely eliminating any margin for error when precision matters most.
Easy to Use, Built to Last.Finally, we have engineered all of our Lightning™ Series air chucks with durable, lightweight, and high performance metal alloys - ensuring they will never rust, wear, or fall apart on you.
All of our tire gauges and inflator tools that accept 1/4 inch NPT attachments will work with our Lightning Air Chucks.
Yes, they are compatible with any air hose or tool that features 1/4" NPT threading. Our Lightning™ Series air chucks are laser-cut to precision with universal 1/4" F-NPT threads for maximum compatibility with any air gauge, inflator, compressor, fitting, or air hose that uses this standard.
Most 12-volt tire inflators have twist-on or latch-on valve stem nozzles. You can make it work with this special adapter.
However, we also have a lineup of Lightning extension nozzles that are specially designed for 12-volt tire inflators.
Lightning™ Chucks are unlike any air chuck you've ever used.
We integrate industry-first patented technology that offers far superior performance in every aspect compared to other air chucks available.
Lightning™ Series air chucks are available exclusively by JACO. We offer 100% Free Standard Shipping (3-5 days) for all orders in the USA when you place an order here on our official online shop. They are also available on our official Amazon storefront.

You went down to your car in the morning to go to work or on business, and the usual padlock and a note with a phone were attached to the wheel, to which extortionists offer to transfer money in order to find out the place where the key is hidden, or a digital code . How to act in such a situation? Can I drive with a lock and how can I safely remove it later?
A lock on a wheel or a doorknob is a relatively common (although, fortunately, not too common) scheme of fraudsters, which has supplanted the recently popular theft of license plates.
To be honest, the topic is not new - I remember at least a couple of "parishes" of this fad in previous years. However, having found several articles in automotive online publications and a couple of recommendations from crooked bloggers on YouTube and Yandex.Zen, we were horrified by the illiterate nonsense offered there, such as the idea of sawing the lock shackle with a manual hacksaw or breaking it with leverage, such as wedging two open end wrenches. All this usually leads to scratches and dents on the body and disc. There is only one competent option - to cut off the lock with a cutting abrasive disc. This can be done on your own, in any car repair shop or garage cooperative for a symbolic amount. The main thing is to decide: Is it possible to drive with a lock on the wheel or will the problem have to be solved on the spot?
The first and most important thing is to find out whether the free rotation of the wheel is possible in principle, or is the wheel blocked from engaging the disc with the lock on the fixed brake caliper? Both options are real - it all depends on the type of lock and the shape of the rim and its spokes.
You can be absolutely sure only by jacking up the car and turning the wheel with the lock manually in order to understand whether it is able to make a full turn without touching the brake caliper lock with the shackle. At the time of checking, the lock should be slightly pulled towards you - that is, choose a slack in the shackle covering the spoke of the disk:
If the wheel catches, then, of course, it is absolutely impossible to drive! Both the caliper and the disc will be damaged. If it does not cling, then movement on its own is not forbidden. The fact is that by itself, driving with an imbalance caused by a heavy lock is not dangerous at low speeds (up to about 30 km / h) and at a distance of several kilometers to the nearest car service or garage. At this speed, 200-250 grams of imbalance is completely invisible and does not cause beats in the wheels and steering wheel. And they do not cause any damage to either the wheel bearing or other components of the car.
If you do not have a tool to cut off the "enemy" from the wheel directly on the spot, and decide to go to a car service or garage, then the lock dangling and jumping on the wheel can reach the caliper with its shackle, damaging it, or at least quickly cover it with scratches and dents in the spoke of the disk - probably beautiful and expensive.
But this can be avoided - you just need to lay protective pads under the lock and pull it tightly to the wheel. For this, an ordinary PET water bottle, cut with a knife or scissors, and plastic tie-ties or a simple rope are perfect.
We slip a rectangle of plastic under the shackle of the lock, covering the wheel spoke with it, wrap the lock itself with another piece and pull it tightly to the disk with zip ties or a rope.
If a trick from intruders caught you on a business trip or at work, then it may turn out that the only solution to the problem is a trip to a car service or garage. But if the trouble caught near the house, and in your tool arsenal there is a wireless rechargeable angle grinder (angle grinder), then the problem is solved in just a couple of minutes on the spot: the shackle is easily cut off. This option is definitely the best, fastest and easiest!
We just have to admit that a wireless cordless angle grinder is not yet the most common tool in the household of home craftsmen .
.. In its absence, you will have to look for a much more common wire grinder, collect extension cords around the entrance, from which you will have to build a long electric tail, and knock on your neighbors on the lower floors to throw the wire out the window.
Unlike a cordless grinder, today almost every home already has a cordless screwdriver. Some also have an adapter for grinder discs to it, and those who don’t have it can be made from a regular M8 bolt, nut and a pair of washers. At first glance, everything seems simple and self-explanatory - I clamped the attachment for fixing the grinder disk (from Aliexpress or home-made) into the Shurik cartridge and drank! But there are some nuances that are important to know.
The grip of a screwdriver in grinder mode and a normal full-fledged grinder is completely different. The latter has it correct, the “Shurik” has no. Sawing with the help of a "shurik" held with one hand constantly tends to warp the disc, which, coupled with the low speed of the disc, creates a constant risk of breaking it.
The skew is obtained from an incorrect (for the cutting mode) load on the hand from the L-shaped screwdriver and from the need to strain the brush to hold a sufficiently tight key.
You can compensate for this with a two-handed grip - not by the handle, as usual in drilling mode, but by the body and battery, while (important!) fixing the start key! In no case should the key be held with a finger - it must be fixed in the pressed state with a plastic clamp, adhesive tape, electrical tape, rope. You will have to turn on the screwdriver by installing the battery in the handle slot, and turn it off by removing it.
Only cut a well-locked lock, not a loose lock. Otherwise, the cutting disc is at risk of breaking - much more than in the case of a much higher-speed grinder. Do not use the cores of old discs - only new ones: the smaller the diameter, the lower the angular speed of the cutting surface at the same speed. And don't forget eye protection!
P.S.: We sawed the shackle with a diameter of 10 mm with a screwdriver in about 3 minutes.

Tires are one of the most important inventions of all mankind.
It is worth noting that a modern car would not have become such a successful and efficient vehicle without pneumatic tires. Outwardly, the tires are little different from each other, with the exception of the tread pattern and their radius. All of them consist of various rubber compounds and fillers. Some sizzle - others don't. The round shape of the tires is maintained by the carcass. The carcass directly affects many tire characteristics.
Diagonal frame
Radial frame
Let's consider two types: tires with a diagonal and a radial carcass. Despite the external similarity, they are structurally very different.
Frame
The bias tire has a carcass made of
multi-ply cord. As a rule, the number of layers
is a multiple of two. Textile cords of different layers
are located at an angle of 35° to 40° to each other
and intersect exactly in the middle of the tire
protector.
Frame
Breaker belt
Frame
In radial tires, the cords are located at a
angle of 90° and are located along the entire tire
tread.
And those sections of the tire that
are located in the contact patch with the
road surface are reinforced with a steel cord (it is also called a belt belt
).
In addition to the difference in the arrangement of cords, there are many other differences
- Cord threads for diagonal tires are made of nylon or kapron, for radial tires they are made of steel.
- Bias tires can have several layers of cord - from two or more, radial tires have only 1.
- Most of the diagonal tires are chambered, radial tubeless.
Functional differences of radial tires
— Better contact with the road. Radial tires have a larger contact patch compared to
bias tyres.
- The weight of a radial tire and a bias tire with the same radius will be different. Lighter tire with radial carcass
ply.
— A radial tire can carry more loads (15 to 20%) than a bias tire.
