    I have a leaky Skwami

    I just received my Tire2Tire Skwami, excited to equalize the tire pressure on my A4 Quattro I immidiately went out to the garage.

    After connecting the first 2 tires and letting it sit for a min, I removed the Skwami from one tire only to hear air escaping from the other. I capped the Skwami with my thumb and quickly removed it from the remaining tire.

    Upon inspection it appears that the valve pin is not coming back out to stop air flow. It looks like the spring that should push the valve pin back out is over compressed and provides no force. One side will stop leaking with a quick wiggle, the other seems hopeless. It seems to me that air pressure should be enough to close the valve.

    Anyone have a Skwami and/or suggestions? I assume I just got a defective item. Maybe lube the valve a little? TIA
