Comments about Innovations Air Chuck SL Mini Inflator:
This is so easy but the first time I tried to use it (30 miles from home), I could not get it to work. I was trying to make it more complicated that it is. All you have to do is screw on the CO2 cartridge and press fairly hard on to engage the spring. I like that it is small enough to fit in my seat bag.

Comments about Innovations Air Chuck SL Mini Inflator:
Works great! Gets better pressure in my road bike tires than a small hand pump and takes up a fraction of the space. I love how small it is. Also the design is so simple there's virtually nothing to break or go wrong. I recommend everyone have one in their seat bag.

Comments about Innovations Air Chuck SL Mini Inflator:
The first time (and only time) I used this device (and as a matter of fact, my first time ever using a CO2 cartridge type inflator), it blew up my tube. Yes, my tire tube--EXPLODED from the sudden rush of pressure from the CO2 tank.
This is what happened: the nozzle (its inner rubber lining)that which connects to the valve got stuck to the valve(!) and I was unable to control the amount and rate at which the CO2 that entered the tube. Thus, nearly the entire content of the CO2 tank was emptied into the tube within fractions of a second. There was a loud pop. This really sums up my experience thus far with this device. For reason of not-easy-to-use, I must subtract 2 stars, since it is its sole purpose and is more weighted amongst all its features.
I will re-attempt to use this machine in the future as I am confident once I know how to properly control it, it will be excellent (at which time I will amend this review.)

Comments about Innovations Air Chuck SL Mini Inflator:
This little device is great. It works flawlessly, basically idiot proof. I recommend going with the larger cartridges so you can save them for a future flat or top off your friends tires after yours are ready to go.
Comments about Innovations Air Chuck SL Mini Inflator:
Innovations has their act together. The Air Chuck is small, light, compact, efficient, easy to use, versatile, and durable enough to step on when you sit it next to your bike and scramble for your CO2. Adapts well to presta or schrader and it is easy to control the flow rate. I like to pair it with the Big Air cartridges, they too are lightweight, hold enough CO2 for 2 tires, and give that extra umph' to pop tubeless tires back onto the rim. Additionally, it is extremely quick to engage and disengage, making it ideal for racing. Overall, this has proven to be a key essential to my saddle bag. Props to REI for picking up Big Air...well played.
