Valve stem - adding air while traveling.

I picked up a ‘12 last week.  It has the straight valve stems. 1)  I checked at Murph’s and they showed that the 90* valve stems don’t work on the ‘12 and they confirmed that when I double checked.  1) so I assume if I go to a 90* stem I give up TPS?  2) With straight stems, how are you adding air if needed while you’re on a trip? 
 
Some people carry a chuck adaptor that makes getting into the space easier. I carry a pump with an easy adaptor so I only have to mess with it at the beginning of the day.
 
I carry a small pump, with a 90* chuck fitting on the hose, but also carry one of these, fitted with a generic air hose "snap on Junction"

I have about 6 of them, with "ring's" ties wrapped to them, all over my garage, as I have a large home compressor...

Your small pump, I assume a portable 12v?
