My tire inflator attachment has a gauge and initially worked but now it won't get a good connection to the tire. It just builds up pressure in the unit instead of inflating.

I looked through some reviews at various products on Amazon and they all look sketch. What is the TD recommendation here?

My preference is to get one that can clip onto the valve but if it has good airflow where I can air it up relatively quickly then that won't be a deal-breaker.

Same here. I've got a cheap Harbor Freight pancake compressor, and it took a little longer when I used it to air up the tires on my old Jeep, but on the van and current SUV it doesn't take long to top them off. Separate pressure gauge. Not sure how much difference it makes, but the Jeep had 31s on 15 inch rims, and the van has 235/60 on 17s.

Milton if you want to spend money.

AstroAI on amazon if you don't. The AstroAI is $25 and comes with a 3 year warranty. The gauge measures in tenths of PSI.

I have both and like both.

I have the straight chuck inflator with gauge from harbor freight. No problems other than the rubber is starting to crack and I'll probably need to replace it but I've had it probably 10 years now

Anything by Milton should be top shelf. I would say yes that is a good one.
