The attachment at 1:50 is for presta style valves, found on fancier bicycles. They're skinnier than the schrader style valves on auto tires and most kids' bikes. Kind of nice that they included this, it's a major time saver over a hand pump since the skinny tires need something like 100psi.

I bought of these in 2019 and still use it regularly. It also is packed in my vehicle on trips with a plugging kit and a Ryobi impact wrench since both use the same battery. The only complaint is that it can't be packed in my vehicle with a battery installed since anything bumping the trigger will turn it on. Like you, I wish it had a trigger lock to prevent inadvertent activation. However, the reason it does not have a lock-on feature is to keep from accidentally burning it up. The unit and hose gets hot from usage. The instructions indicate to allow it to cool down for 5 minutes for every 5 minutes of continuous run time.

Yeah not a huge complaint from me as my elastic band works lol. And it is a great tool overall. 👍 to the bringing it with the impact wrench - me too!
