Anyone have a source for a nice Brass Presta Chuck for my shop air compressor?

[Joand'Arcroast]

Decent chucks abound for Shraeder [sp?] valves. It's annoying to use the adaptor because my tire
gauge is Presta... All the time with the on, off, routine [and watchout yer arthritic knuckles on
that rear cassette- yoiks!]

One of 2 solutions I've come up with for this is to buy a replacement hose for a floor pump, and
adapt it to the compressor hose. (Not exactly what you asked for, well, not brass.)When I worked in
bike shops, I saw two different versions of an ordinary "blow gun" with a small piece of tubing
soldered onto one of those big Silca presta adapters. I've wanted to build one for my compressor,
but can't even find the big adapters anymore. rorschandt

Heres are two Silca brass presta chucks that Performance Bike sells, and here's a hand trigger
inflater that you can use with the chucks if you're willing to adapt the rubber hose to them.
