trouble figuring out Pedros inflator
I purchased a Pedros co2 inflator, it takes threaded cartridges, it is just the head with a yellow handle. I have an innovations one and all I have to do is thread in the cartridge fully and then when I want to put in air, I screw it out slightly. I tried this with the Pedros one and all it did was leave the air out of the cartridge at the thread, I have no idea what way it's supposed to work, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Guessing you need to Open the presta valve.

I had the valve open
It's not the same as the one in the clip, it is the same at the top, I 'opened the valve' put the co2 head over the valve and tried pressing the lever, pulled up the lever, screwing in the cartridge, screwing out the cartridge, no success, haven't been able to find them online, but will try to get a pic up later, thanks in the meantime....

Could be defective in someway.

If there were no instructions is there some reason you can't just check with the seller?

I'm not all that familiar with the Pedros inflator, but some of the more basic inflators don't have a valve.
If this is the case with yours, you need to thread in the cartridge short of where it punctures, press and hold the inflator on a burped valve, then turn the cartridge to pierce it and start the flow.
