Filling with nitrogen

I was thinking about this kit for my struts. The hand pumps are nice
for an emergency fill with air or H if you have a tank sitting around,
but this kit isn't too much more money and stowes nicely away.

Expensive.
My set up costs:
Bottle of Nitrogen is about $100
A set of victor guages that the refirgeration guys use is about $110. 0-600
PSI on the low side.
$13 for the gooseneck to fit the schrader valve and $25 to have a long
hi-pressure hose made.

Keep in mind that it a takes high pressure to force the schrader's needle
valve open.

Hi,

I am considering purchase of a nitrogen fill system. I don't have power
at my tiedown, and filling the tires with a 12 volt portable compressor
is a pain due to having to park the car near the tire, move to the
other side, etc. I figgured a nice nitrogen tank system would give me
a power free solution and fill the tire with the best possible kind
of gas.

I found a fill system online:

My only question is why it says "no struts". That would seem to me
to be one of the best uses of this system, that I can top off my
strut, which is forever going low (on a Cessna). Is there a reason
for this restriction, and is there a system that can do struts?

Thank you.

A $40 ten gallon air tank is way more than enough for tires.
