Possibly some of you remember these screw on fittings that were on the hand pump you inflated your bike tires with as a kid. I've found it impossible to find these locally at auto stores and even checked at a bicycle repair shop. I get the look like what the hell is that. If anyone has a suggestion to find them locally I'm all ears. Thanks but I don't do on line shopping.

Sorry but unless you have a full service old school Hardware store local like Ace ebay is your best bet...

My local Napa has most fittings and can order the ones they do not stock. Runnings and Tractor supply carry allot of these types of items. I think you will have the best luck with a place that the employees have been there forever and remember what the parts are.

Possibly Home Depot, Lowes or Menards.

Try here, if they do not have it, I'd be surprised. But just re-read you don't do online shopping.. Oh Well, I tried.

Harbor Freight.

Ace hardware, Tractor Supply..

GEt good ones not cheap ones
I have some from the local auto parts shop that always leaked
When I pulled one apart it only had 3 balls to retain the female fitting
The ones from the air tool company had 6 and never ever leaked.
They also had a higher flow rate

Good point Bert..

I know you are looking for something different, but these Lock-N-Flate chucks are amazing.

Lowes has them. Tractor Supply Has them, Even amazon sell them.
Just about every hard ware store carrys them. I must have a dozzen in the basement just laying around.

Don't forget Ace Hardware

If your bike tire is a little low on pressure and you don't have a compressor or air tank ( with air ) a hose can be made to steal a small amount of air from your wife's car tires , spare included , then she can have air replaced at her favorite tire repair shop or dealer .

I can have 4 Tundra tires aired at the dealer in less than 5 minutes and never leave the seat . I've never ask for the spare pressure checked but i suspect they would .

I don't care much for clamp connections for hose so this is what i do .

Place the hose beside the barb end and mark on the hose , with a felt tip , where each depression of the barbs are . That's where my very small zip ties are placed . I don't have fancy tools so i tighten the zips with pliers . Heat the hose with hot water to make it supple .

Bert, he is talking about a tire valve Shrader adapter, not a quick connect shop air hose coupling
