To respond to some of the more common criticisms I see in the other reviews here, first of all, I have relatively small hands for a man, but I have had no difficulty in handling and using this air gauge. The round shape with rubberized grip, along with the weight of the unit, makes it very easy to handle and quite easy to push onto the valve stem of the tire. Once you've pushed it onto the valve stem, hold for 1 or 2 seconds and the unit will beep and give you the reading. Very simple with large, easy to read display with blue lighted background and a light button mounted like a trigger to illuminate the valve stem in dark conditions. Overall, a really rock solid product that works extremely well, easy to use, and appears to be very accurate in measurement. I can highly recommend this one.
Excellent Air Pressure Gauge
Works great and comes with a nice case to keep it clean. Easy to see for those older users who need reading glasses.
Was barely able to get it to work
It looks like a good product- sturdy, easy to operate, well designed. But when I first tried to use it, it said the batteries were low and wouldn't give me a reading. I'd assumed that the two batteries that came with it must have been bad, so i went looking for replacements, which cost about $12 for the pair. I put them in, the unit worked great on two tires, then the batteries were said to be low again. I sent an email to the customer service department and never heard from them. Finally spoke to someone on the phone the other day, and they sounded annoyed with me but agreed to replace the unit with a new one if I sent it to them. Goody- now I get to pay for postage, too!
Piece of Crap
I was raised in a big rig shop and have been around mechanics for 50 years and one of the requirements I have for a tire gage is that it is easy to take a reading and is easy to seat the gage on the valve stem. This POS does read well but takes 2 hands to seat the gage. The reading is easy to see and I like the tool overall but if it fails to test easily throw the thing away!
Accurate and sturdy
Haven't used a whole lot but whatever I did, it seems to be accurate and sturdy. For getting an accurate reading, make sure to hold it along the curve between the thumb and index finger, so that the pressure along the edge is uniform and that way it makes a good seal with the tyre valve.
