The Kwik Tek Air Daddy is essentially a custom plastic accessory with a Schrader type valve on one end and various tips on the other end. You remove different sections of the working end to fit whatever you're trying to inflate. The products seems well built, but it seems a bit pricey for what it is. That said, if you're like me and are always hunting for your adapters, it can definitely be worth it.

One minor complaint... the input Schrader valve is made of plastic, and so I'm not sure how long it will hold up.

I bought the Air Daddy to inflate two fitness balls: a medium 65 cm and a small 55 cm ball. The Air Daddy connected easily to my bicycle tire pump. I inflated the two balls fairly easily, in a few minutes. I stopped often to measure the circumferance of the balls, so it doesn't inflate them so fast that you have to worry about over inflating. I keep the Air Daddy on the bike pump and remove it when I need to use the regular bike pump. The Air Daddy is just right for filling fitness balls, and I'm glad I got it. I haven't used it for the other types of inflatables.

This product is NOT compatible with Halkey Roberts style valves. The product description is not accurate. This device is essentially a blow gun that also has a needle attachment. Not very useful.

Love it. Such a simple thing and easy to use. Compact and works great. Only improvement they can make is add some grip to the inlet side because my air compressor nozzle would slip off after a few minutes from the pressure. It needs better grip. Still, a good buy.

This product does exactly as advertised. It can be used to fill all types of rafts and tubes, especially with Boston valves. Very useful. Made of plastic so it can be fragile, but it works great.

head is too small for the standard 1 3/16 inch air mattresses. Other than that, the place screw on piece looks pretty easy to break off.

It still good for use at gas stations if you are desperate.

I was looking for an easier way to inflate my kids sports balls from my air compressor. At first I was not sure the Kwik Tek was what I needed. The description lacks a lot of detail, so I took a chance.

My air compressor has the typical air inflator for putting air in tires so a needle for a ball won't engage the valve to start the air flow. So I was always trying to jam something in there to get the valve to open to inflate the ball, but it was really an exercise in futility.

The Kwik Tek from Air Daddy was exactly what I needed. It comes with an extra needle that threads on the output side of the valve so you have an air tight connection. Then the top or input side of the Kwik Tek has what looks like crosshairs that engage the valve of the air inflator; eureka!

It also makes it easier to insert and remove the needle from the ball because it has the two "wings" that make it easy to grip with your hand to pull or push the needle.

Overall I think it is worth the price just in the hassle that is saves. I can also use it to inflate inner tubes (the ones that you normally have to blow up with your mouth) for when the kids want to go swimming.

I give it four stars, since I am not completely confident in how long it will last. It seems well made, but being 100% plastic does cause you to wonder. I hope this review helps explain it's possible uses better than the description.

I bought this mainly for my exercize ball but have found other uses for it. Good quality product. Fast delivery.
