Okay but I have some recommendations for its shortcomings

I will update this review if needed. It's comfortable and stops pumping at the exact pressure. I have a few criticisms/recommendations to the manufacturer that could improve this product.1. The color is too thin. The product is very attractive and durable (heavy metal construction which is nice) but the paint finish on it is some of the thinnest I've seen. It takes a few minutes to inflate a tire from a deflated state (it actually inflates fully in about 4 minutes per sedan tire, which is good). However, I will not bend over for 4-5 minutes while he is pumping. I carefully laid it on the ground and after 30 seconds picked it up to see if it was scratched by a slight vibration on the concrete. He was badly scratched. To be honest, I think I could easily scratch the paint with my fingernail if I wanted to (I'm not sure why I would, but you get the idea anyway). This is not a big problem but an unnecessary thing and easy to fix.2. God please do something about button placement/sensitivity. When your finger/hand (hell if you breathe on it - sarcasm - sorry) touches anything near it, it turns it off or changes it. They are not raised/textured, not protected and do not require pressure so very very difficult to prevent failure (again not a problem but easy to fix in next version) 3. Suppose this product is both intended for both day and night use, this screen needs a bit of an overhaul. In the sun, the screen just isn't very visible. I had to go in to change my pressure and rush while it was still on to use it. What layman (non-physicist) can freely convert megapascals to pounds per square inch (PSI). By default (I suppose it can be changed) the pressure is set to megapascals. There is no instruction manual with the product and there is no customer manual on the website. I had to go to a website to watch a video to learn how to set the cut off pressure and then had no idea what unit they were using until I found a clue on one of their photos saying it was on could increase up to 1.21 megapixels. Pascal. I bought an Ap converter on my phone to convert megapascals to PSI. And so I was thrilled to see that 1.21 megapascals matched the advertised maximum pressure of 175psi. Hooray! With a little detective work, I learned how to set the pressure. I really don't think I have to work that hard to learn how to use my product. The truth is that it has some really useful features that seem to work (auto shut off) and it seems well built (heavy). and durable)). It's small, handy and powerful, so I think it will be useful for me. I left this only so that the manufacturer might make some useful changes in the next version.
