Excellant Tire Gauge Mar 14, 2010 User Friendly in everyway. A must to have in the car. Worth the cost & than some. Have used it a dozen times with NO PROBLEMS.
Depends on the grip... Mar 13, 2010 The first time I used this gauge I leaked out a lot of air before I was able to get a clear reading. The next day, after some experimentation, I figured out that it worked a lot better if I only adjusted my grip.
I was originally gripping it like I would hold a hammer: all five fingers wrapped around the black rubber. As such, I kept levering the tip into the nozzle at an angle, preventing a flush seal which was why the air kept leaking out.
The solution: press your index finger onto the back of the gauge, back near the "E" - there's even a finger shaped groove/dent there! Then, when you go to take a reading, push in with your index finger moderately hard. This should give you a better feel for the nozzle and allow you to apply more direct pressure for a better seal.
After using this grip, I was able to get more consistent readings. I would still leak some air on occasion, but nowhere as bad as I did in the beginning. It may seem pretty obvious to simply put your finger there, but not for me. I had an older version of this same gauge that I used for over 10 years. That model worked perfectly every time, even with my old grip, until I lost it. All in all, this is a suitable replacement. Hopefully, this helps out anybody who can't seem to get the hang of things the first time around.
Can't beat the price Mar 10, 2010 Easy to use, good precision (repatability of measurement), legible in poor lighting.
Accuracy of ± 0.5 psi is more than adequate for non-professional use.
No need to spend more money than this.
The only negative is that it does not have a "bleed" mechanism. I have to use a key or other tool to let air out of tire if it is overinflated.
Tire Gauge Feb 20, 2010 Works good and I believe it to be accurate, but not made as well as my older one.......what else is new?
Incapable of making necessary seal with tire stem/valve. Feb 17, 2010 I found it almost impossible to get a reading because this gadget would not fit tightly on the valve stem. No other tire gauge I tried afterwards had this problem. I notice several other reviewers had the same experience
