Mine are crummy and don't stay attached, and the flow is slow..

You mentioned snapons, are these any good?

( the snapon page loads realllly slow)

Are you sure the flow rate isn't restricted by your valve stems? I had one valve stem that was slower than the others. I could air up at least two tires in the time it took to air up the one tire.

I have had issues with my cheap clip-on chucks not working with rubber valve stems that have the decorative chrome sleeves though.

I have valve stems that are slower too.
Get rid of the decorative chrome covers. They slice valve stems.
Check out my snap on chuck. It is better than the one posted. Especially if you ever plan to use beadlocks.

I used to wheel a lot. . .

You can't get them from HF.

They are $12 each from Sun, and more from Powertank.

I paid $6 each from a different place, but I can't remember where. I bought 2. They are referred to as European inlfators.

Pay attention to "open" versus "closed". If you use a pressure switch to turn on/off your compressor you probably want the "closed" version.
