What is with fill probes?

[RayK]

Most definitely NOT a fan of probes.   I just leave it stuck in the gun as if it was a permanent fixture (ie a foster like it should have been to begin with). Yeah, it messes up the looks of the gun, but the probe is always where it needs to be.

I do the same as Franklink.  I just leave them in and I don't notice them while shooting.   I wish all mine had fosters quick connects.

So.....do you use the probe directly attached to a fill hose....or do you use a probe adapted to a foster shaped QD hook up?

Probe directly on the fill hose, no foster connections.

Can see how that would inspire brand loyalty.

When you ONLY shoot a single brand of gun ... or lucky enough to have something else using the same probe .. THAT WORKS.
Most folks with many PCP's fall into the latter category where that Does NOT Work

OP,

I'm with you! It's retarded and I've fought it on two PCP purchases.

X3, I have enough probes to just leave attached on all fill devices: 2 tanks and the compressor.
