Horrible design defectAug 03, 2012
By Boomer1961 This would be an OK gauge for the price if it was not designed wrong.
I was able to get three readings out of it before it no more workie.
That is over a dollar per measurement so I can not recommend.
These types of gages have a rubber seal to keep the air in the tire while the gauge pushes down on the valve.
As mentioned in several other reviews there is a little rubber gasket that just refuses to stay in and falls out all of the time.
Problem is it is small and easily lost when it falls out. I quickly found out about the problem of this gasket jumping out the first time I used it. The second time I used it the same. The third time I used it by the side of the road I could not locate it to put it back on the gauge. Without this very important rubber gasket the gauge does not work and if you insisted on trying to use it, all the air falls out of your tire since you are opening the valve and there is not seal.
If they were to correct this design defect then I would recommend it because of the price. This is a cheap chinese knock off of similar gauges costing $15-$20.
Oh well, now I know why it was so cheap. The vendor is stuck with this sucker and is trying to dump it onto the consumers by offering such a cheap price.
Buyer beware.

Good if it workedJul 10, 2012
By artful_dodger Had the gauge for two months. Accuracy seemed fine, but broke the third time I tried to use it - needle internally detached and became unresponsive. Good buy if you need to check your tire pressure -- once or twice.

Minor but serious issue...Jun 07, 2011
By Roger As far as I know this gauge is accurate....fairly easy to get a pressure reading...the hold feature lets you see it. Problem was that the rubber gasket that seals to the valve stem fell out 2xs...the last time I almost couldn't find it. So I carefully glued it in using some rubber cement. I can see many unhappy returns over this issue.
Also this has a glass bezel...probably sort of fragile? There is a sliver of glass floating around inside it now.
* this gauge has turned out to be reliable...of 3 gauges...one failed (reading is off)...this one is still fully functional. The 2 left still agree within 1-2 PSI.
My old dial gauge turned out to be reading 6 PSI low...so in the future I will be checking my gauges vs the master gauges at tire stores occasionally.
* note: could not find a reliable "master gauge". New methodology involves buying at least 2 different brands of gauges...and checking them against each other when checking pressures. This is a matter of safety...since I over inflate my tires (vs glovebox numbers) and a gauge that reads 6 PSI under is a dangerous gauge to use.
