Review on ๐Ÿš— Motor Luxe Tire Inflator Pressure Gauge 170 PSI / 12 Bar: Professional Heavy Duty Air Compressor Tool with Free Accessories for Car and Truck by Andrew Frison

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Incredibly big and tall

So it works and it's great. It feels quite heavy, which is also a plus. The main reason I bought this is the way it connects to the valve at a 90 degree angle. So, the downside: the meter itself is HUGE. Incredibly big, so big that it not only looks weird but makes the whole thing heavy and clunky. Also, the sensor rises to 170 psi. 170! It's for tires. NO tires of any type come close to 180 PSI. Most of these are under 50psi and on rare occasions up to 65psi. Road bike tires can reach 100psi, but they are always hand-inflated because the inner tubes are very small. So it's inaccurate in the desired range, since moving the needle a fraction of an inch equates to a few pounds per square inch. It's a little silly. 3 stars because I can deal with stupidity while it does what I need it to do in a somewhat imprecise way. Now in the seller's defense, it's clearly marked as 170 PSI and Heavy Duty. So I can't blame them. All I know is that it's completely impractical for tires.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
