i have 2 one in my saddle bag and another in my wife's bag
by CoBoulder

boulder, co
i've been using these since 2013. in that time i've had 2 warranty issues which PDW replaced or repaired them. one time the center pin blew out and thus wouldn't puncture the cartridge. the second one was the dial would just spin and not move the stem. so in 6 yrs 2 failures in 50k miles. it doesn't seem that unreasonable, but if you've found a more reliable one, please share it. i love being able to slowly regulate the flow and partially inflate a tire and make sure it's seated and check for add'l leaks rather than blowing the load in one go. i also don't need the full 16g cartridge for 25mm tires, so saving a bit in the cartridge and throwing it in a jersey pocket with some extra is nice. if it had a pressure gauge, i'd give it another star.

This shiny object works great, it is so easy to regulate the flow and it will hold the leftover CO2 for days. Its small and light. You can't ask for anything more.

The simplest, no fail, CO2 inflater I've used.
by Marc

I have a Lezyne and Innovations valve inflators, but have replaced both with the PDW inflator. The PDW is the easiest, quickest, and fail-safe nozzle compared to the other 2. I inflate in 2 steps. At step 1, my PDW allows me to have very slow, controlled release (twist the valve knob) to minimally inflate the inner tube, but with enough air control to see the tire is properly seeded inside, around the rim. My Lezyne and Innovations is simple push, but each push comes in full bursts. I found these bursts are more difficult to control in my step 1. Step 2 is my more robust, but still controlled, release to reach my desired PSI. There are certainly experts using Lezyne and Innovations, but I'm not one of them. I don't flat that often. But, when I do, the PDW has ridden me of all my previous fumbling and frustrations I had with the other 2 brands.

Nice, lightweight pump.

It's great to have such a small, functional pump to carry. I had no idea pumps could be this small until it showed up at my door. Very nice pump and as always Western Bikeworks delivered it very quickly.

Works great when it does, I like the onoff control of CO2 flow. But after a few uses the rubber O seal that wraps around the stem literally blew up.

Easy to use
I love being able to accurate the amount of air going into the tube so that I can more precisely inflate the tube. Would recommend for anyone

Compact inflator, easy to use, well made. I like the ability to control the flow much better than cheaper models that are all or nothing.
