As thread title...... opinion's on the best and most reliable air -down tools budget or otherwise .
Boulder Tools seem to be commonly available but get mixed reviews on both the screw on type and the core removal type....
I have mixed feelings about the type that remove the valve core as surely this leads to leaking valves over time as they are normally not designed for repeated removal .
I like the idea of the screw on the valve and walk away until the correct pressure is reached type .... but the premium ones from Oz are not cheap
That said..... I still in the AG world just remove the valve but we use a water-ballast type valve that is more robust.... and always make sure I have a spare in my pocket as a 710/70 x 42 rear pushes a lot of air out and watching it fly over the hedge can ruin your day......
