Hey, the product works great with schrader valves. Consistent and easy to use.
However with its uniquely designed presta valve feature. The unit I received is very challenging to use. The brass piece sticking up in the middle will not easily retract when pushed by the tire valve. It gets hung up on inner wall surfaces or something, and while trying to attach to the valve; it lets out a lot of air because you’re pushing down on the tire valve needle. I’ve had to fill my tires over 10 psi greater and try to attach to the presta valve without letting too much air out. Otherwise, attach the pump again when this fails 2/3 times… and I’ve let out too much air. Then do the whole process over again. This sliding lever for different valves is a nifty idea conceptually, but it’s not good when using it. It has a air pressure release valve, but as you use that button - the pressure measured on the gage does not change. You have to take it off, and put it back on again. Not great, because you’re repeating this issue above over and over again.
I would recommend finding a pressure tester with two separate valve holes, or take some anger management classes before you use it.
