Review on 🔧 Astro Pneumatic Tool 3018 3.5" Digital Tire Inflator with Hose - Efficient and Accurate Tire Inflation Solution by Chris Russell

I'm a new full-time mechanic and have amassed the best quality tools I could find on a fairly tight budget. I check tire pressures, cap tires, mount and balance tires, investigate TPMS issues, etc. all day long. I figured it was finally time to get my own meter instead of looking for a generic meter at the store. This is EXACTLY the same product as my colleague's Blue Point pressure gauge. But it cost about a third of its cost. Of course, Snap-On, Mac, Cornwell and Matco make quality hand tools in the USA. What a lot of mechanics don't know is that these companies outsource things like gauges, clamp-on pliers, certain torque tools, and a bunch of electronics. They simply relabel another manufacturer's product. Looks like Snap-On put the Blue Point logo on the Astro Pneumatic gauge. No matter what label this tool is on, it has proven to be a great tool. The display is easy to read, the inflation valve stays in place when you clip it onto the stem, it's very easy to inflate and deflate, and seems to be accurate to within +/- 1psi, as far as I've found from other gauges in our store as well as vehicles showing the exact tire pressure on the dashboard. I love this tool, it's a good deal and seems reliable. I will update this review if anything terrible happens. But after a month of intensive use, I can say with confidence that I am satisfied.
