There have been a few threads about this. I go surf fishing so air down when on the beach and it is a pain to put air back in. Even with the extenders I have. I tried a few and the ones I've had on for about are year are these.

I leave them on all the time and have no problems (I think others have said they have had problems). They are cheap so if they don't work dump them. I find an inflator that is something like this is best. Still I really hate the Raptor valves. Hope this helps
