So I just finished calibrating both of my Milton inflators using your excellent instructions. thank you again!!! I did have a little trouble aligning the guts with the round window on the first one. When I tightened the out cover, the guts twisted a bit. Later, I realized that the rubber seal at the bottom of the handle was a littile oily, so I assume that's why it twisted. I tried removing the guts once or twice to get it right, but finally gave up with the gage being readable, but not quite centered in the glass window. I didn't have that problem with the second one. After I got done with the second inflator, I realized that I could remove the little window on the first one by pulling out its snap ring and then I was able to pull the guts into the correct position with a needle nose pliers. Thanks again!
Good one Rob. I have about ten tire gauges but not the old Milton that we used to sell in my folks auto parts store. I've found that they all vary a HUGE amount, sometimes by ten pounds. It's hard to tell which one is accurate. Even the dial gauges are different. Good video!
Thanks so much! I had to use a tire filled to a given pressure using a tire gauge I had to take the Milton apart and reassemble a few times, but that was easy thanks to your video 👍
I have at least a half dozen tire gages and two of them are Milton's that I bought within the last few years since my original Milton failed after 30 or 40 years of constant use. Recently I realized that both Miltons were reading about 6 psi high in comparison to all my other gages. So this video will be very helpful to me. My decades-old pencil gages and even a Radio Shack "Talking" digital gage are right on, by the way. I am surprised that the Milton's were that far off!!!
Thanks for the instruction. I just spent the last year cursing my BMW motorcycle's TPMS for reading low and allowing such a small threshold before warning lights. Turns out my "good" gauge has been reading 7-8lbs high for potentially the last 5-6 years.
I like that! I have one of those types of tire inflator‘s and I’m a little suspicious of the read out. I guess I’m going to have to find me a pressure gauge so I can do some tuning up. Thanks for the insightful video.
Thanks for the informative video, I bought one of these and found it to be so far off in accuracy that I just could not trust it. It has been in my tool box for almost 3 years un-used. Now I see that you can calibrate it I will give it a try. My only question is why are these not calibrated at the factory before being shipped out to customers, Mine is off almost 5 PSI.
I just bought myself a milton i got burned twice i bought a 20 dollar one it leaked on the first time i used it so i bought a pistol grip on thru i ordered the American port the idiots sent me the unvirsal port so and the pin for the handle fell out. Needless to say i said im gonna buy a milton cause my dads work had one when i was a kid they just threw them away im gonna keep mine for ever and just rebuild every so often.

I've tried about a dozen times. No matter how you adjust this on a bench like this it's off when you connect it to a tire. It's either tank pressure or working pressure. This is why these are trash
