Review on OTC 5613 Vacuum Pressure Gauge by Joshua Douglas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I tend to buy OTC rather than Snap-On or Matco if they have a tool because I think they are well made and just a better price.

I had to buy this one as a replacement because my technician left another one (which I had for 15 years) in a customer's engine bay which was then lost when walking with it . I've seen and worked on many cars with carburetors where this sensor has helped me get idle air mixtures right or diagnose PB issues after installing soft/aggressive cams. Not sure how this new one will perform, but the one my tech lost; I actually ran my car over once - just cracked the face but still accurate enough to keep using it. I tend to buy OTC rather than Snap-On or Matco if they have a tool because I think they are well made and just a better price.

Pros
  • The perfect kit for checking vacuum lines and components
Cons
  • Almost never
