The part that goes to the valve stem has a short lip making it difficult to align with the valve stem and hold it in place to take measurements. The valve stem is not included in the part that admits air to the gauge. The head also rotates, making it even more difficult to keep the shaft in line with it so you can take measurements. You have to push the valve stem very hard, and it's not easy with a rotary head. Maybe the air intake rubber on the gauge needs to be softer. I almost threw her to the ground and stomped on her. No, I think I'll smash it with a hammer because it's a piece of junk. I do not recommend this pressure sensor, it is useless.
