One I keep in my purse and the other in the little pack on my bicycle. The price is right. I find these particularly useful with my cycle as a few pounds of air can make a world of difference in how the bike reacts and rides. I have two of these things. They both work great. They are so simple to use that even my sister who is far less bright than your average brick or stump can use them with no problem. I have tested them against more expensive gages, professional models, and they are quite close to the mark.
Just perfect in proportion, its better to mention the size before you buy it. Whenever I tried checking my vehicles air pressure, quite an amount of air escapes as it tries to read it. I will recommend it though, just because of its sheer handiness & compact size. Now, when it comes down to the real purpose of checking air pressure, I say its a little tricky in doing so. When in case of emergency, it serves the purpose really well, which is why am glad to have it.
The construction is rugged. So, next time one may have to over inflate the tire to get the right pressure back. Again, the air escapes quite a bit which shouldnt be the case.Summing it up otherwise, its a neat & handy device to own. This little gizmo from Accutire is approx 3.5" wide & 1.2" tall. Reason is, the nozzle. It gives a near to accurate reading which is the case with most gauges, but the let down is you end up losing atleast 3-4psi of air. I want Accutire to rectify the nozzle n air escape problem which will then make this thing a great buy.So overall satisfaction.3/5 & value for money, 2.5/5. I thought it will come in real handy but the fear of riding on under-inflated tires keeps me away from using it most of the time.
I got it shipped for free. whenever i checked my bikes air I had to repump in the lost air. Plus, no need to replace the batteries as it comes fitted with a permanent lithium cell. The problem is the narrow nozzle which allows air to escape & is the sole reason why am not completely satisfied with this product.
Barack Obama suggested we maintain tire pressure to get better gas mileage and save energy. This device is accurate, easy to use and takes little space in the glove box.
Once it's on, it seals pretty well and there shouldn't be anymore air loss. He was so impressed with this little gadget I had to give it to him. I purchased several for gifts. I was trying to put air in my tires at a gas station near my home but was having difficulty. He came to help and realized the hose was bad, so he replaced it. He filled my tires for me and used my digital tire gauge to check the pressure. It reaches the tire pressure quickly and it's easy to read while still on the tire. The old fashion type is good, but I can never seem to find it when I need it.
Happens that the rep from the company that supplies the air machine was near by and saw me struggling. hence I had to buy myself a new one.I find it easy to use. I hang this in my car and it's always right where I can find it. I never let more than a very little air out of the tire when I'm putting it on.
It's hard to check your tires with this without letting air out of your tires. Even for the low price I wouldn't recommend this one. I will be buying a much better one that hopefully will be easier to check the air in the tires without letting air out.
