Accu-Gage RH60X Professional Tire Pressure Gauge with Protective Rubber Guard (60 PSI),Straight Chuck

I use this in combination with a VIAIR 84P to properly inflate my tires. I use the air inflator, whose gage is not super precise, to slightly overinflate the tire. Then, I use this gage to conveniently decrease the pressure until it is right on target. That gage is quite precise, the display is large and very readable, and the button to let some pressure go works marvels.

A bit on the expensive side for a tire gauge, but well worth it. The flexible part and reset button makes it a cinch to take pressure. Accurate, and seems very rugged as well.

I have been using this tire gauge for my car for several months now, and it has performed very well.It is a very simple design, very easy to connect to the tire valve (thanks to the hose), easy to read, and built to avoid breakage if you drop it (because of the rubber casing). In addition, it is advertised as being "not affected by changes in temperature". As a result, I have been able to store it in my car in very cold conditions (below 20 degrees F), and, to the point, it continues to give me an accurate reading of my tire pressure.My only other comment is on the cost - currently $19.95. That is certainly more expensive than some other tire gauges, but, in my opinion, a very good value given the above features.

This is my fourth Accu-gage rotary gage I've owned in the past 15 years. The consistency and precision that this style pressure gage gives over the standard pen-style pressure gage is worth every penny. I've also found that this style of gage is easier to use than any digital gage I've used to date - and allows for exact pressure adjustments that aren't really possible with a digital gage with +/- 5% accuracy error, and that will only read in 0.5 psi increments. This pressure gage makes it easy to resolve and adjust tire pressure with great precision and consistency - whether on your station wagon, or your track car. I still have an older Accu-Gage (12 years old), and both of the Accu-Gage H60X gages I recently purchased display exactly the same pressure (tested them side-by-side), and within 1 psi of my older gage. The rubber protection on these gages will prevent the type of damage that ended one of my other gages and makes holding the gage much easier in cold and/or wet conditions. The downgrade of one star is due to the fact this gage was made in China. I don't have an issue with Chinese workers - I have an issue with the Chinese government and their anticompetitive import and export policies that take advantage of those workers. Most importantly - I prefer buying products that support the American economy and its workers.

I bought this tire inflator when it got too hard to find working inflators at gas stations.The instruction sheet was needed to find the controls, set mode (range) and tire pressure desired.The built in pressure gauge and auto shutoff appear to be accurate.A direct 12v input, instead of charging the internal battery, might help.Also, if it's feasible, switching to a LiFePO4 battery might be a good idea for a unit that might be stored in a car for long periods between uses.Overall, I think that this is a good unit for the money.

The gauge is heavy duty, easy to use, easy to read, yet easy enough to just toss into my car's glove compartment

I haven't tested it at nighttime yet, and it's a little pricey for just a tire gauge, but it is clearly very well made, rugged, and has a nice attached hose which makes it easier to read the actual gauge - you're not stuck bending your head around due to your tire nozzle being in an odd location. The tip that enters the tire is great. It seals well and when you detach it, it pops off quick without letting any air out. Best of all, if your tires are overinflated, there is a spill-off, or release valve, that lets you release pressure. My recommended tire pressure is 32 psi and a few tires were well above that, so I very much appreciated this feature! The gauge was pricey for a simple tire gauge, but it is very rugged and the hose lets you bend the gauge for easier reading, plus the built-in valve came in handy, so I'd say its worth it. The gauge itself is incremented in nice large, single-digit values and is very easy to read. A few car-guys and mechanics recommended this, and I can see why now.

This gauge looks very "professional," what with the hose, and the big gauge face, and the general robust appearance. It's easy to use. And it was accurate, with the reading corresponding to my car's tire pressure monitor display. Unfortunately, before I had used it a dozen times, it began leaking air from the hose near the crimped fitting that goes into the gauge itself.I know what you're thinking: "He probably dropped it or pulled on the hose." Nope. I have been driving more than 50 years, and I used to wrench my own cars and motorcycles before they got too complicated for the average guy to maintain. I have my mechanic's tools in my garage, in tool chests, and I take care of them: this gauge was stored properly and never abused or damaged.And...here's the rub: Because a tire pressure gauge isn't something you use every single day, or even a few days per week, it's entirely possible to run out the time on the warranty without ever having used it that much...which is exactly what happened in my case. Lesson learned.
