Here's where I got mine recently ... http://www.cleavelandtool.com/5-Valve-Stem-Extension/productinfo/VSE5/#.Vd38wfRZWPU
So, I'm just now finishing my wheel pants. Are you saying with these 2 tools, the removal tool and extension, you can put air in the RV tires without taking off the wheel pants? If so, what size and location hole do you recommend?
whew 23 bucks, think I paid 9 at napa.good timing, I just ordered one this morning from Aircraft Extras for my go bag:

I have this one. It has a Schrader valve at the end with a shaft down the center that is supposed to open the valve at the tire when depressed by inflator.....which it does not do. It is as if the shaft is just too short.
I also have the cap removal tool that you can buy with it. The cap removal tool does not fit over the hexagonal caps that are generally used in aviation.
I bought this combination set. http://www.cleavelandtool.com/Valve-Stem-Extension-_-Cap-Remover-Set/productinfo/VSSET/#.Vd8i0E3luUk
Just a heads up!!

Mike, I too have the same problem that Dorfie above did with your inflator extension (not the full inflator with gauge). The shaft inside doesn't depress the valve stem, as if it's too short. Any recommendations for a field fix?
Jeez, let us know! I am happy to replace it. We have had a decent number or rejects on these. We make sure that the 'core' is threaded all the way in and not partially out. Then we use the end of a caliper to check the distance up from the end of the tool to the end of the brass core extender. We saw some problems with them a year or more ago, but I have not heard lately (except the two here today). I had thought that we were measuring 100% of these that came in, but will check on that, and on the required dimension.
On the 'hex caps' with the removal tool, we send the tool with three round caps with rubber backup seals in the end of them to replace the hex caps. Did you not receive these? Anything is returnable to us, if you are not happy we want to hear from you.

Here is the one I got at Napa for under 10 bucks. Works great.
