It's compact and it just works!

On the road in a pinch (pun intended) I like the controlled CO2 release.

simple and robust

I've tried a bunch of these over the years. Some look good, but break quickly. This one is small, simple and tough. It works when you need it.

Great inflator head

My rear tire lost air eight miles into a ride, so I had an opportunity to use the Shiny Object. I was really impressed by the control the device afforded. Got the tire re-inflated to the exact point I wanted, and got home without more drama. I think the control the head offers is well worth the price.

Solid

This is a solid light weight inflator to keep in your bike bag. I used to have a pump on my downtube for my CO2 cartridges. This was easy to use when I needed it to inflate a tire after a blowout.

One of the Best CO2 Inflators on the market

I have two of these, one for each bike. Super easy to control the inflation rate with the open/close valve knob.

A must have!

What a great product. Rugged, yet small and light. Allows one to gradually add flow from CO2 cartridge to a deflated tire eliminating risk of over inflation. I�ve tried other CO2 cartridge inflators. Hands down, this is the best.

It just works! Takes up almost no space, too.

This inflator is an improvement over my old one - it does all the old one did at a tiny fraction of the size. I was using an enclosed-cartridge inflator that used cheaper threadless CO2 cartridges. I realized at 2-3 flats per YEAR, the savings weren't worth carrying my old bulky inflator.

Haven't *needed* to use this inflator yet, but like all ride-critical tools, I home tested it, "wasting" one cartridge. It worked just fine. The valve on the inflator was easy to operate. The cartridge DOES get seriously (dangerously?) cold, but wrapping it in a cycling glove solves that problem.

Outstanding tool

Having control of air flow is what it is about! Slow or fast inflation is crucial, and this Shiny object allows this.

Insurance for those who don't carry a frame pump

Even though I carry a frame pump, there are times when a CO2 inflator really helps: Instant pressure, no pumping. It's an "insurance policy" for me and it +a few CO2 cartridges will fit nicely in a small underseat bag.

It works

This is the only valve I've ever used that actually holds pressure after it's pierced the C02 cylinder. I've used the partial pressure after a couple of months of initial use. I use it and several friends use them as well, all have had the same good luck with these valves.

This can be throttled to a minimal flow for gentle control of inflation.

Works perfectly

It works as described. I had a flat yesterday and busted out the Shiny Object. I screwed in a CO2 and inflated the tire without the internals freezing up and with super control over the CO2 flow into the tire. There also a pressure relief hole so once you back out the cartridge it doesn't want to take off like a rocket. It slowly and safely bleeds off the excess CO2. Worth every penny.

item broke on 3rd use

bought this in Jan 2015 - Used 3 times. First use - worked as advertised. Second use - had difficulty with turn knob and burned 2 co2 cartridges to inflate tire. rd use - knob kept turning and never disbursed CO2 - never got my tire inflated. I went through another 2 cartridges and still had a mostly flat tire. Luckly a buddy had another inflator which worked by twisting the cartridge to engage rather than a knob which just spun (open or closed).

great for your seatbag

I have more than one of these because I like to keep one with me on each bike. It uses the screw in C02 canisters and allows user to regulate air flow, and to save some for later in the ride if the tire is still leaking.

I had a mountain bike tire with a bad tubeless valve, so I was able to refill it a couple of times in order to get me down the trail. They are metal and seem indestructible.

Works but will frost bite your fingers through your gloves

Not unlike other all metal inflators this works good but gets so cold that I couldn't turn it off or get it off my tire even with gloves on
