JACO Deluxe Tire Pressure Gauge - 100 PSI

USA company (REAL CUSTOMER) support quality item wirh LIFETIME warrantystop buying junk from BOX stores as I did !!!

This is a handy little hand tire pressure tester. I recommend you try this one.

Seems sturdy. Air pressure is accurate. Seeing how long it lasts. Easy to use. Easy to read. Rubber grip.

Good quality, compact

First of all, the customer service from JACO Superior is beyond phenomenal. After I bought the gauge, their co-founder personally contacted me by e-mail to ask what I thought of it. I know it wasn't a robot message because when I responded, he personally wrote back to address my comments. When does that ever happen? As to the gauge, I bought it because I was tired of inaccurate tire pressure gauges. I bought a digital gauge thinking it was high tech, but the thing wouldn't give the same pressure reading twice in a row, so I took it back and decided to stay with the tried-and-true technology of an analog gauge. Of course not all analog gauges are accurate either (e.g. the one I got from Harbor Freight) but I liked the ad copy about the quality and accuracy of the JACO gauge, so I took a chance. When it arrived I had just gotten back from having the tires rotated on my SUV and the tire shop had checked the air pressure on all of the tires and recorded it on the work order. They use Snap-On gauges that cost ten times more than the JACO gauge. I rechecked the tires using the JACO gauge and got an identical reading to the tire shop, dead on. Score! Finally a tire gauge I can trust! Other features I like are the angled swivel head and the bleeder valve. The swivel head allows me to see the face of the gauge no matter where the tire valve happens to be, and the angle design allows the gauge to be used on bike tires where a straight gauge won't work because the spokes are in the way. When pressurizing a tire I like to over pressurize it a bit then bleed down to the desired pressure. That way I only have to connect the air compressor to it once. The JACO gauge is ideal for this. I can remove air from the tire by depressing the bleeder valve without removing the gauge from the tire. When the bleeder button is released, the gauge instantly resumes the air pressure reading (unlike the digital gauge I bought that had to be removed from the tire and reset for each new reading). I may be old school, but I like being able to read an analog gauge. You know where you stand with an analog. The only comment I had in responding to the co-founder's e-mail was that my 65-year-old bifocalled eyes found the gauge dial to be a bit small. It is 1-1/2" diameter. I suggested that a 2" dial would be easier to read ,yet still compact enough for glove box or tool box storage. Guess what? He wrote back to say that they are working on just such a gauge. It will have a maximum scale reading of 60 psi, perfect for car tires (but not for high pressure bike tires). That one will be easy to read, even for me. So I am glad to have the small gauge because I do have a bike to use it on, but I am looking forward to the larger gauge when it comes out. I plan on getting one of those, too. They said it will show up on Amazon when it is ready, so stay tuned!

good high pressure gage

Had been using digital units for years and thought I'd try an analog gauge where I don't have to worry about batteries. Unfortunately, I received a Jaco unit that hadn't been calibrated. After releasing pressure/resetting the gauge, it never goes to zero. It goes to 16.5-18.0 psi. So each time I used it, I had to subtract ~17psi to get a semi-accurate reading. Horrible first experience with a Jaco product!

Good
