It features a patented nozzle that grabs valve stems securely, a quick-release button for fast detachment without losing pressure, and an open-flow design meant specifically for tools that accept a 1\/4\" female NPT fitting. Lightweight yet rugged, the chuck helps speed up tire service without the leaks or awkward angles common with cheaper chucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the self-locking nozzle improve tire service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patented self-locking quick-connect nozzle creates a tight, air-tight grip on the valve stem so you don’t have to hold the chuck in place while inflating.
