    You bought the right one. I have had mine for 4 years. Worth it's weight in gold. When I was with Swift, I was forever inflating trailer tires. My new Company has auto inflate systems on every trailer. Feel like I have died and gone to heaven.

    Well my first attempt didn’t go so well, finished airing and when I tried to unscrew my hose the pressure blew it off and the part that goes inside the hose/screws onto the valve stem is stuck FC0C88FA-1FE4-4E10-B95D-AC212ED419D3.jpeg

    Oh lord help meh lmfao I’m gonna take it to the Loves just down the road and get them to air it up for me/fix that because I can’t get that off of there; luckily I have a spare air chuck that came with the tire pressure kit and I put it on there

    I don’t think I’m gonna just wing it next time

    You dont have wrenches or pliers? To unscrew or pull it off? This is part of the learning process so don't feel bad. The important thing is you're learning.

    Also, my company has a 110 psi recommendation for best tire wear and fuel mileage. So check with your company.

    The reason why I was trying to air up that tire is because earlier when I checked it it read “70 psi”; sadly I don’t and I’m not gonna buy any when I’ve got all that back home, just need to swing by

    Also, I’m not really sure how to take those plastic coverings off that cover the hub cap and everything; I’d send a picture but I’m currently barefoot and even though you could call me a hillbilly, I’m not a barefoot hillbilly lmfao
