@georgebarrera100 We originally got 2 of them at a tire dealer when we had two new tires installed. They just put them on without being asked. We liked them so much that we began looking for them at every truckstop and auto parts store we came to, but were unable to find them. We finally asked at a little tire shop where we stopped to get propane. The guy handed us half a dozen of them for the rest of our tires and said "no charge!" So I'd suggest that a tire shop would be your best bet. :)
Rather than having to have a helper to pump the brakes I would want to create a bleeder valve setup to where I could let air out of the compressor system until it got down to the 90psi point and then stop bleeding pressure out and get ready to inflate to the point I needed to put in the tire. I do like your idea overall except you are a bit anal needing inflation to half pound increments.
@christhebigfoot Thanks for the comment. We got the exact same suggestion from someone else, along with photos of how they set up their bleeder valve. This spring, we're going to assemble it, and add a video update. And you're right.... we are anal retentive! But we're working on it. lol I blame it on that damn air gauge. If it didn't show 1/2 lb increments, I wouldn't have even thought of it. ;-)
Where can you purchase the air tool that attaches to the valve?

@MrRules100 We bought all of the parts for the air line setup at Lowes, in the air compressor and plumbing departments.
