Great design and function

Received my shop inflator several weeks ago. I have found it easy to use due to its
excellent design.
I prefer it over other Presta head attachments I’ve used in the past. Quality seems very good and gauge appears to be quite accurate.
Highly recommended!

Easiest pump head ever!

I've been using the Digital Shop Inflator for several weeks on multiple bikes. Just like the videos on the website show, it really is very easy to attach and detach the head to the valve. Adding this inflator to my small air compressor has made filling my tires a breeze. I like the accuracy of the digital pressure gauge and the reassurance this gives that I'm inflating to my desired pressure. My floor pump and analog pressure gauge are consistently 2-3 psi off from the digital reading. Having the dock is very useful and helps keep my bike repair area tidy. One feature that could be improved is the pressure release button. It is relatively small making it a bit tricky to release pressure in a finely controlled manner which comes into play when I'm close to dialing in my target pressure. It would also be helpful to get a pressure reading without having to introduce any air into the tire.

Hi Tony,

I want to thank you for leaving your review of your Zilch Shop Inflator. We are very happy to hear about your experience. You are helping us spread the word and this means a lot to us!

Pressure Reading
You can get a pressure reading without having to introduce any air into the tire. To measure your tire pressure you lightly depress the red button. This will allow a small amount of air into the gauge from the tire to get an accurate tire pressure reading. Further depressing the red button will start to release air out of the tire gradually. The more you depress the red button the faster the air will flow. The red button is designed to control the air flow being released in proportion to how much you depress it. I hope this helps.

Cheers! Ride on!

CHAINLIFT is essential for any biking entusiast

The CHAINLIFT tool makes changing rear wheels and transitioning to trainers seamless and keeps your hands clean to boot! I am so glad I have one in my tool box!

This is a great device!

I've only used it once. It's a little tricky to use the first time, but once you figure it out it's amazing. The whole process could be improved with a better instructional video. The instructional video should be one continuous video to show the whole process and not broken up. Also, the list of pins and derailuers needs to be updated. Customer service is great and very responsive. I wasn't sure which pin to use and emailed the company. I got a response within a couple hours with more specific instructions for my derailuer.

Shop Inflator Rocks!

This thing is great. I hate, hate, hate, pumping up my tires manually before each ride and this nifty little system works excellent. I'd buy more if I had to...

Works Well!

It works great — you need to be deliberate about how you align the inflator head to the valve, but if you do that properly — it engages easily and has zero air loss. Coming from a screw-on head on a Lezyne floor pump, this is infinitely better. Connected to a low-cost compressor and it works exceptionally. Would recommend getting the digital vs the analog gauge. I went with analog and regret it a bit as it’s quite small and a bit challenging to read in low light situations (before early morning rides :). Overall would recommend!

Almost great, but very very good

First off a couple of improvements that could be made, I'm UK based, thus we use European spec air lines. The inflator came as US spec which provided an early challenge. Luckily, historically i worked in my Dad's hydraulic manufacturing firm, thus understood the various specs and was able to procure the right adapter (most won't). The second issue is with the pump head; it's really tight if you have short valves (long enough for my other pump heads but tight with this shop inflator). Those issues notwithstanding, the head simply works well; it seals perfectly and is quick and easy to use. This inflator will be the one that stays connected to my compressor.

As advertised

A surprisingly well made item, just what I needed to keep on my ebike with Schrader valves, so that I can carry a lightweight Presta pump for emergencies.

Good product, makes moving to and from the trainer much easier

Good product, took me a few minutes re-watching the website videos to figure things out, but now it's pretty intuitive. And no chain grease on my hands/clothes/walls!

Great product, but a bit of a learning curve to use

Took me a few tries before I got it to work the first time, but it is a very handy gadget to have when removing and replacing the rear wheel on my 10 and 11 speed bikes with tall cassettes and finicky derailleurs.

Zilch shop inflator

I am writing this review in regards to my Zilch shop inflator. First and foremost the Zilch head works exactly as advertised. Easy on and off. The best I’ve ever used. That being said I wish you offered the head as a stand alone item.

Simple and amazing!

This is the best inflator I’ve ever used! I recently switched all my valve stems to Muc-Off Big Bore valves and had issues with a traditional presta pump head. The Zilch truly has zero air loss. Best cycling innovation in the last decade at a minimum!

ZILCH shop Inflator scores a 10 out of 10 in my book

Well what can I say ? I received my new ZILCH head with digital readout for my shop compressor & to say I was Impressed is an understatement ! With it's 1 handed easy to use operation this little gem is a Big Winner & I love the docking port with it's builtin cradle & strong magnetic head to keep it in place when you hang it up is a Must Have for any Shop or home mechanic. This is hands up one of the best investment iv'e made next to my CHAIN-LIFT ! So don't delay get yours today

Pretty Happy With It

First off, this is a really cool product. I love having a digital gauge to make sure I have the right pressure in my bike and car tires. The quality seems pretty good, though I am not sure how durable the plastic inflator head will be. I certainly won't be dropping it on the garage floor to find out. Accuracy is off a bit. Comparing it to my other digital gauge and the TPMS in my bicycle wheels it's about .3psi high. Not a huge deal, but worth noting. Lastly, the connector that came with it to attach to my compressor hose was the wrong type. Had to pull one off my old shop inflator to connect it. For $100 they could include both types. Overall, I am pretty happy the purchase.

Used it once

Used it once, will use it more soon. Fanagaled it around my rack and it worked ok. Next time I will remove rack. Seems very well made.

The Perfect Tool!!

My only criticism towards Shimano is the lack of extending and holding the derailleur open to take the rear wheel off, but for the rest, I love my Shimano XTR group!! But, Radian built the perfect solution. Great and very easy to use! I hated taking my bike apart to do the maintenance, but this tool makes it easy and fast! I say it’s worth every penny!!

As advertised and better than expected

I have seven bikes in our household. I am constantly adding air to tires and have spent many a day cursing presta valves and the inflators and have literally bled from the simple act of making sure my kids, wife, and own tires have the correct pressures before every ride. I walked out to get my wife's bike ready for her to go ride and Fedex arrived with the digital shop inflator. I had to test it out. Wow is an understatement. It works exactly as described and suddenly this isn't a chore and pain in the ass. It worked so good I went through all of our bikes and did tire pressures knowing that I'd have to do them all again in two days before our DH bike team practice (Crown Gravity Collective RULES!!!) The wall mount bracket was a welcome surprise that I was not expecting. Well thought out and highly functional product all around!

A very well thought out tool

I have an entire wall of arcane tools that have no other use outside of a bicycle shop, so I was somewhat hesitant to purchase the Chainlift. However, as the makers are aware, if it were to work properly, it would solve a niche problem in working on bicycle drivetrains. The excellent news, I am eager to report, is that it does work most well! I have used it on bikes new, and bikes and derailleurs 50-plus years old. Not only that, rare for something these days, every part seems to be methodically well thought out. Welcome to my wall Chainlift! I look forward to many happy years of use.
