Fender/ Buoy inflator options.

Hey Guys
Got a couple of the large orange teardrop Buoys that are needing a little bit of air and just wondering if there is a particular type of needle / fitting to make it work.
One had a screw out plug that took a normal ball needle and was easy but the others have what appears to be a little valve with a ball or bike tyre valve end that when depressed lets air out but cant seem to get it to take air in...
Does anyone have the right adaptor to fit or know where I can get my hands on one..
Cheers guys.

I use a nozzle
the tapered-type nozzle commonly used for cleaning down. Works for me.

Nozzle
Cheers for the reply... So are you referring to the air gun / blow down type that mounts to a air compressor?

This is it
I've used this for longer than I can remember, pumping up all my fenders and floats. just jam it in and it works.
