There seems to be lots of confusion between an OPEN and CLOSED chuck. I think I have it figured out so I'm going to try my best to explain the difference in excruciating detail. If you already understand the difference you will want to skip the rest of this review. BOTH the OPEN and CLOSED chucks have a pin that depresses/activates the Schrader valve in the valve stem on the item you are trying to inflate. The key difference is that a CLOSED flow chuck WILL NOT allow air to flow through the chuck itself unless it is actually attached to the item you are trying to inflate. An OPEN flow chuck WILL allow air to flow through the chuck even if it is not attached to something. If you had a big box of random OPEN and CLOSED chucks you could quickly sort the CLOSED vs OPEN chucks by trying to blow through them. If you can blow through it it is OPEN. If you can't it is CLOSED. So why the two types? The CLOSED flow chuck is used when all you have is a compressor/pump and a hose. The OPEN flow chuck is used when you additionally have an inline pressure gauge or other device with its own flow control. Summary: get the CLOSED flow chuck unless you have a device inline that provides flow control in which case you want an OPEN chuck.
All that said, I couldn't find a definitive answer using Google search as to WHY it would be bad to use a CLOSED flow chuck with an inline device with separate flow control. It seems that once the chuck is attached then it isn't providing any flow control - so why the big deal? I'm guessing it is a safety issue but I would sure like to know for sure if someone knows.
This is where I advise you NOT to do what I do. I grab a can of ether (starting fluid), spray some inside the mounted tire, and then light it on fire. The ether combusts immediately, causing a large pressure wave that seats the beads. The trouble is that the pressure soon drops and the bead can suck itself back off the rim, at which point you're back to where you started.
Unless, of course, you've clipped a locking air chuck onto the valve stem. The incoming air prevents the tire bead from falling off.
Yes, seating a tire bead with ether is dangerous. I don't suggest you do it, and all the usual disclaimers about the associated dangers of fire and compressed air apply.
For the less adventurous among you, this chuck is nice to have if you want to inflate a questionable tire, like one that has cracks in the sidewall. A blowout up close can be very dangerous, so you clip the chuck to the valve stem, walk far away, and turn the air on from a safe distance. If the tire explodes and rips the quarter panel off the car, at least you're far enough away to keep from getting hurt. We don't normally think about the damage a tire can do, but there's a TON of stored energy in there from all the compressed air.
I usually don't use this tire chuck. It's more convenient to use the inflator I have with a built in gauge. However, when I'm dealing with a questionable tire or I have to seat one that I just mounted, I'm glad I have it.
That being said, these chucks can be made to work but most people will not want to have to modify purchased items in order for them to work correctly.
I happen to have two 1/4" NPT taps on hand. I took the older one and ground off the end of the tap, removing the first 6-7 threads rounding the tip to not gouge the bottom of the chuck threaded end. Remove the sealing washer, use the tap to taper the threads in the chuck by running the tap as far as you can go into the chuck (do not apply excessive force, just run the tap down until it bottoms out), remove the tap, clean the chuck, use teflon tape (worked better than pipe dope)on the male fitting and have at it.
Other than this the chuck appears to be made well. The locking mechanism works very well and seals just fine against the valve stem.
