I bought this for around $9 from here. First thing I noticed was how cheap it felt in the hands when I pulled it out of its box. Thinking to myself, what a cheap piece of crap I bought. I drove to Costco and filled my tires with nitrogen and put it up against their pressure gauge. Holy moly, this gauge was exact compare to Costco's pressure gauge monitor to the T. I was left scratching my head. How can something so cheap in price and and plastic we were so damn good. I'm 100% satisfied and glad I purchase it. Lol. Thank you Amazon and to this company for a great deal.
It works just like the directions on the product description say. I used it to fill my car tires to between 43-44 PSI. My first tire inflator didn't have a gauge on it, so this came in handy. I double checked the accuracy by using two other tire pressure gauge I had lying around. They were all about the same. The second tire inflator I bought (first one took forever and was really loud), had a built-in analog gauge, which I thought was going to make this digital gauge obsolete, but good thing I had it because the analog one was way off. I uploaded a picture of all the gauges. I definitely prefer the digital one.
So this is the second tire guage I've bought thru Amazon. The first was completely useless. Didn't measure any pressure. At $5 wasn't worth returning. Sucky. This one is great. Seems very accurate, is extremely easy to use and is great at night. You know you need a tire gauge at all the inoportune times. I love that it takes a reading and holds it so you can bring the guage to your face, rather than having to squat in a ridiculous position to read the guage. GREAT IDEA!! It also allows you to bleed off extra air, which I didn't see mentioned - but that works great. This one is A+++++
The ergonomic design makes it easy to hold & the quality for the price is impressive. I used it yesterday for the first time & it was a lifesaver. My low tire light was on & it enabled me to pinpoint which one. I am a 75 year old woman & if I can use it anyone can! By the way, the instructions are well-written & clear. Thanks for the email about the battery replacement.
This pressure gauge was a bit more expensive then what I'd like to pay. However it definitely came in handy at night when I needed to check my tires. The blue light makes the process so much easier to find the stud that sticks out of your tires and check your tire pressure. The device also allows your to switch between pressure units (I just use the psi). So far I've had this product for 6 months and haven't need to change to battery or any problems. I recommend this product

Useful note:
In order to get a good seal, please put the tire's air nozzle up or off to the side. It's the best when the nozzle is around 6 or 7 o'clock position so that you can firmly press the guage straight down which means you have to crane your head a little bit for reading. Always remember the most important thing for you is to be able to press down straight & hard onto the tire's nozzle.

The customer service is outstanding. I accidentally stepped on the pressure gauge and it broke into hundreds of pieces, definitely wasnt salvageable. The seller sent me a new one. The gauge is not made very robust, but it works fine and the customer service certainly makes up for it. If you take care of it and don’t leave it sitting out where it could get stepped on, it should last. The customer service couldn’t be better.
Tire pressure gauges always seem to have problems that make them difficult to use and inaccurate. This one is different. It works as advertised and is inexpensive too. The head and display light after you press the button. You can rotate between PSI BAR KPA and even Kg/cm^2 by pressing the button before or even after taking a pressure reading. If you place the head on the valve carefully, the gauge requires barely a whisper of air to read the pressure and the reading stays on the display after you remove the gauge from the valve too. It is precise and clean enough that I can quickly get my bike tires to the exact PSI I want simply by taking a few readings and letting excess air leak.
I have several other gauges lying around that have failed me, but I think this one will hold up.
It's easy to use. Seems accurate enough. Doesnt waste much air to get get a reading.
I would give it 5 stars if they had made the battery replaceable. There are manufacturing screw heads accessible, so it could likely be disassembled and perhaps that battery can be replaced, but I really wish it had come with a way to put in a fresh battery.
It's a good gauge, but mind the fact that the battery is not accessible. The price reflects the disposable design.
I must have a dozen tire gauges, but this one is my new favorite. Backlit and accurate (I tested it with some others), it's easy to use. You get digital output that's easy to read at a glance. Since it requires batteries, this is best for using at home, so you don't forget it in the vehicle, and the batteries leak into the device and ruin it. I purchased a few of these for Christmas stocking stuffers as well....and I doubt they will be rejected.
Got this nifty device a bit ago and finally got around to using it today. After opening it out of the box I noticed that when I clicked the button the screen didn't light up. After taking it apart (opening it up as per the instructions; two screws and the unit splits into two) I found that there are 3 LR44 batteries and 1 CR2032 battery. After playing around with the batteries and it still not working I decided to replace the batteries, and it turned out that the CR2032 they sent was bad/dead. Once I replaced it with a fresh one it worked great. Accurately read the pressure in my tires on the first try and was added to my vehicles bag of gadgets. This is a great tool minus the fact that is was sent with a defective/dead battery.
First off these are great! The readings on these are clear, the blue bright like on the screens are perfect. Highly recommend if you want a tire gauge that’s very visible and quite accurate. One recommendation I have is if you live in a cold state like myself where you have winters, be prepared to either 1) take this out of your vehicle daily, or 2) replace the battery every spring. Leaving this inside your vehicle in the cold weather will drain the battery within a couple days, literally.
Now for the fun story...
I got the idea to purchase these because my wife came to me one day and says “can you put air in my tire because that stupid gas station pump doesn’t have a gauge on it that works worth a damn and I can’t read the stupid thing”. So naturally being a good husband I said of course. With Christmas being around the corner I thought this would be a perfect stocking stuffer. So I purchased one for her and one for myself. About a month later she comes to me and says “is your tire pressure thingy working”? I says “well I assume so, haven’t used it much, why?” She says “well because I tried to use mine and dumb thing always reads 0.0 psi”... I said “well what are you doing when you put air in it, are your putting the gauge all the way on the nozzle”? She says “ wth do you mean?, I point it at the tire and push the button, doesn’t it scan it”?
Point of the story... if you believe this is a tire scanner, and it scans the amount of pounds in your tire by point and click, this is NOT the product for you! :D hahahaha. I still love her and we’ve been married for 12years, never a dull moment ;)
