Milton 518 Analog Tire Inflator with Gauge — 5' Hose, Straight Clip-On Chuck, 10–160 PSI, Made in USA

Built for garages, fleets, shops and safety-conscious DIYers, the Milton 518 combines a large, easy-to-read dial with an ergonomic easy-on grip and a push-button deflator so you can set tire pressure quickly and precisely. Constructed in the USA to meet OSHA 1910.77 specifications, this tool supports both standard PSI and kPa readings and is designed for repeated daily use in demanding environments.

How accurate and readable is the pressure gauge?

The Milton 518 features a magnified viewing window that enlarges the dial markings for faster, more accurate reads under bright or low light. Its calibrated range covers 10–160 PSI (80–840 kPa), suitable for light-vehicle and many commercial tire applications. Because it’s analog, you get instant needle response without waiting for a digital readout.

• Magnified dial for clearer number visibility
• Needle-style analog display for immediate feedback
• Calibrated from 10–160 PSI and 80–840 kPa

What makes the chuck, hose, and controls easy to use?

This inflator uses a straight clip-on chuck that locks onto the valve stem for hands-free inflation and a 5-foot hose that gives you reach around the vehicle. An easy-on grip reduces hand strain when clipping on, and a low-profile push-button deflator lets you bleed air in small increments for precise pressure setting.

• Straight clip-on chuck secures to valves for hassle-free inflation
• Five-foot hose extends reach without kinking
• Push-button deflator enables accurate pressure adjustments

Is the Milton 518 durable enough for workshop and fleet use?

Yes — the Milton 518 is manufactured in the United States with components suited to frequent professional use and is built to meet OSHA 1910.77 standards. Its robust construction stands up to regular handling and the gauge housing protects internal parts from everyday shop impacts.

• Made in USA construction for consistent quality
• Designed to meet OSHA 1910.77 safety specifications
• Durable body and protected gauge for long service life

Which pressures and tire types can I service with this inflator?

The tool covers a broad pressure span from 10 PSI up to 160 PSI, making it suitable for passenger cars, many light trucks, some commercial vehicles and various inflatables requiring higher pressures. Always check vehicle or equipment specs for recommended pressures before inflating.

• Range: 10–160 PSI (80–840 kPa)
• Suitable for most car and light truck tires and higher-pressure inflatables
• Analog readout for quick verification of target pressure
