Review on πŸ”§ Hydraulax Professional High-Pressure Heavy Duty Pencil Tire Gauge with Pressure Indicator and Air Valve by Wade Brooks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works very well - worth the money!

I like the ease of use of this type of gauge and the fact that it doesn't require batteries like digital gauges. Yes, the numbers are small, but that's how these sensors have been for over 50 years, so there's nothing better or worse in that regard. The range is up to 120psi, so I bought it for bike tires. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars for accuracy is that I felt the sensor was a bit inconsistent in its readings, but it's difficult to get accurate repeat readings with this type of sensor as there is some air leakage each time , when you measure and the way you hold the angle of the sensor can make a difference when you press it. But come on, for that price you're not using this sensor to prepare for the Tour de France! If you want to know where your pressure is within a pound or so, this gauge is ideal for you! And as my technique improves, maybe the converter will appear more consistent too! Overall 5 stars!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
