Review on High Precision Stainless Pressure Gauge for Compressor Hydraulic Testing and Inspection by John Clark

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing tire inflation upgrade/replacement!

I installed this on a Lows inflator which is similar to a Campbell Hausfeld MP6000 Gauge Tire Inflator. Like the Amazon product, these inflators come with inaccurate gauges that have 5 small divisions between 10 pounds. pressure, and the 0-30lb range occupies only 1/6 of the dial. I wanted something that was not only more accurate, but overall much easier to read. Removing the old sensor was a pain because it was obviously glued on, but once it was on it was a dream come true. Took it off with some big wrenches, one on an old gauge with a hex nut under the dial, one on the fan shaft and a rubber mallet (it was strong glue lol). There is an air bubble in this meter, but it does not falsify the readings and turns into many tiny bubbles. This gauge is about the same diameter and depth as the one I removed, so I was able to reuse the old gauge's rubber protector on this one. I filled my car tires with an old gauge, upgraded them, then checked them again with this gauge. As I suspected this is a dream in comparison and found that the original inflated tire did not give consistent results between all tires. This sensor will also be of great benefit when inflating baskets and footballs.

Pros
  • Test, Measure and Inspect
Cons
  • Available in White only
