Makes me happy every time I use it. Get one. Simple old fashioned good quality. Very fine control with the release valve, instant accurate readings.
The one I gave for a gift, same thing,,not accurate. I bought 2 of these. Mine was not accurate. Amazon would not let me return for full credit. Returned it and got another not accurate.
Well, out of the box (almost) anything will be good. Did a quick test, was impressed how fast the needle jumps (before this I went through 3 digital gauges - all broken now) those take MUCH longer. Real review have to be in a year or so. I hope it will last, I bought that rubber boot for it.
This is a very accurate tire pressure gauge. The body of the gauge is a light weight metal that needs the rubber protector. It would have gotten 5 stars if it held the tire pressure reading after removing it from the tire but it does not. It also should have come with the optional rubber cover for protection.
- The hose and valve attachment fitting are sturdy and work well.- As others have reported, the valve attachment fitting seals to the valve stem easily.- The hose is long enough to move the gauge dial to an easy-to-read position. In my review of the rubber protective piece, I dinged it one star for the cons listed above so I'm not ding the gauge also. CONS:- As others have indicated, the gauge case material seems a bit light and not as sturdy as the rest of the unit. - The rubber protection piece, available separately at additional cost, should be standard. This gauge seems to be well made and easy to use.
PROS: - The bleed valve makes it easy to fine tune tire pressures. - The large black-on-white dial is easy to read even in the darker corners of my garage. - The protective rubber should cover the back of the case. Looking at the gauge as a two piece purchase with "some assembly required," I give it 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone looking for a tire gauge in this class. At 30 psi, it is within 0.5 psi of my digital gauge, matching what at least one other reviewer reported.
- The price seems reasonable for the quality of the product even after adding the cost of the protective rubber. Only time will tell if this causes problems with the gauge's function and durability.
