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!

Wow my work just throws those away and buys new ones. I will start recalibrating them. Thanks great video.

Thanks Rob! Mine was a little sticky on the read-out and I needed to open it up without ruining it. Nice going!

Thank you for posting this video, always wondered how that was accomplished

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!!!

I know, you'd think the milton would be right on since they've had 70 years to perfect it. I've always liked how old-school it looks and feels!

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 👍

Glad to hear it worked for you!

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.

Great, your cycle is going to appreciate it!

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.

Thank you! Mine was off by about 7lbs and I was able to get it right, thanks to you.

Mine was off 6 lbs right from factory

Great video! Just what I needed!

Brilliant! thanks for making this. couldn't of been done better. 👍

Great information! 👍🏻🇺🇸

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 was pretty annoyed with my new milton reading high, thank you

Cool vid thanks. God bless

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.

Cool video. Is there an adjustment for the two-way chuck? Mine always wants to blow out the wrong hole.

I just bought one of these for $10 on Amazon it normally sells for $40. Does that chuck lock on the valve stem?

This is assuming your test gauge is calibrated as well! Who calibrates the calibrator?....🤔

I know, every tire gauge seems to have it own opinion on what PSI means. Including the internal tire sensors!

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
