What do you guys think about Silca Hiro as a replacement head?
The Hiro is a nice piece, however for around $30 Arundel now makes a very nice similar chuck. The only negative is it won't work with disc wheels, if you're a tt guy. Its available at Clever Training and other spots.

I have up on buying a pump that lasts forever a long time ago. It is a mechanical instrument, and as such, it will fail at some point. I now buy the cheapest and functional one that will get met 140 PSI regardless of brand. Have a Silca chuck here that I have in a very old Serfas pump, which so far has been my longest lasting and cheapest pump. Works great until the seal needs replacing, which seems to be a slow process.
I am tempted to get that compressor, if anything for the overkill factor at home to pump 10-20 psi/tire 3x/week!!

KCNC does a similar one as well. The Arundel has a schrader male thread where it mates to the hose-you can buy a female schrader to hose barb connector at a number of places (prestaflate makes one) for cheap. I ended up just sticking the Arundel head in the schrader hole in my existing chuck and using it that way for now with a floor pump. On a compressor set up you could buy a cheap harbor freight automotive inflator and cuck the arundel into that. I have one set up like that as well.

Good God! Are you talking about the ones you can plug into the cigarette lighter? Cause I did that one as well (well I had to buy a cigarette lighter female housing, which I've connected to an old PC power supply in the garage, and built a housing for the whole thing. And then decided a 300W power supply in a wooden box is not a good idea. And on and on and on. Yep that is an obsession...)
The damn harbor freight compressors last only a few months. After the third one, I switched to porter cable. Now need a new project....
No, I meant just the actual valve with the pistol grip that you chuck into an airline. Poor man's prestaflate.

You'd be waiting AGES for that air compressor to get to 90psi+. I had an HF one that was similar. I put it out on the curb. No one even picked it up. You'd be better off with a Ryobi or Milwaukee infiltrator.
