On a whim, which isn't another steel hardtail btw :P, I purchased one of these....

Don't, they are utter shite! The valve 'interface' is to 'fancy' and you loose air inflating/removing - thread engagement is not 'clean' and varies between each use even on the same valve. The rubber tube seems like a great idea to remove forces on valve but a) is too short, & b) is too short.

The ergonomics too are wrong, and the whole mechanism is beginning to feel worn/weak after approx. 10+ uses.

That's all.

92% of owners who purchased one from Wiggle would say otherwise. 8% of their purchasers of the product are cack handed fops (probably).

I've had one for a couple of years. I've used it 2 or 3 times, it's been absolutely brilliant, working perfectly and inflates tires quickly and easily. I think it's quite an elegant, simple and functional tool.
Maybe you're using it wrong?
