Well my shock pump arrived around a week ago and im buying a qev maybe two today as well.The problem i am having with the shock pump is that i cant use it for spudding! I say that because i cant thread anything onto it to fill anything with. it has threads a little smaller than 1/8'' on it here are some pics

also i already unscrewed the tiny peice leading to a metric version of 1/4''? i tried screwing on a 1/4 in quick disconnect and it would leak so bad i couldent get it above 1psi!

As above, it's for a schrader bicycle/automotive tyre type valve.

I don't really like that type, prefer these:

The head allows you to independently depress the schrader stem.
