A 16 g (0.6 oz) cartridge is one inflation, and threaded and bare types differ · review
A CO2 kit whose head has a control valve for metering the gas rather than releasing it all at once, in CNC-machined aluminum alloy and heat-treated steel.
Our conclusion The better-made head of the two CO2 kits here. The control valve is worth having if you have ever emptied a cartridge past a badly seated bead.
BriskMore’s kit is the engineered version of the CO2 inflator, and the differences are in the head.
An inflator head, five 16 g (0.6 oz) 3/8 inch threaded cartridges. Fitting for Presta and Schrader valves, with washers sealing the threaded connection against leakage. A head in robust aluminum alloy and alloy steel, CNC machined and heat treated. A reliable control valve for precise adjustment, easy to operate.
Without one, connecting a cartridge releases everything. If the tire bead is not seated properly, that entire cartridge escapes past it and you are left with a flat tire and no gas. With a control valve you release a little, check the bead has seated, and then finish the job.
Anyone who has lost a cartridge that way buys a control valve next time.
CNC machining and heat treatment on a part costing a few dollars is worth noting. Inflator heads fail at the thread and at the seal, and both are addressed here.
One cartridge, one inflation. CO2 escapes through tube walls faster than air, so top up at home. And the cartridge gets very cold as it empties — hold it through something.

It lets you release gas gradually rather than in one burst. That matters when you want to seat the tire bead, check it is sitting correctly, and only then bring it to pressure.
BriskMore states sealing washers on the threaded connection to prevent leakage, which is the usual failure point on a cheap inflator.
7.8/ 10
The better-made head of the two CO2 kits here. The control valve is worth having if you have ever emptied a cartridge past a badly seated bead.
Riders who want to part-inflate, check the tire is seated, and then finish — rather than committing the whole cartridge blind.
