Review on ๐Ÿ”ง AULLY PARK Digital Tire Pressure Gauge with Straight Lock-On Air Chuck, 90 Degree Valve Extender, and Digital Tire Inflator - Includes Hose and 4 Black Plastic Valve Caps by Gent Dobson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not perfect, but way better than others I've tried.

UPDATE: My little wife has now learned to use this when she decides a tire looks low. She was surprised to learn that it can look low at times, but that's okay. She's proud of herself and I'm proud of her too. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've been using this generic type of pump sensor for a few years now (this is my first digital readout) and have tried a few to find one that gives good results. Clutch with Schrader valve stems. None of them have ever done this. The only time I had a quick and reliable connection was when I replaced all my tires and installed lengthened valve stems. It seems that the short, thick rubber that most wheels come with just isn't able to provide the grip needed for a solid connection. Longer valve stems are narrower and stiffer at the point of contact with the clamp. This gauge has a stainless steel (rather than brass) plug and clamp, and the spring appears to be significantly stronger. However, on the short handles on my ZTR mower it is very difficult to get a good enough connection for 'one handed' operation. I have to crouch and squeeze hard to make it airtight. Once I pushed very hard and heard a click like there was a groove under the rubber band of the bar that allowed the latch to finally latch and I was actually able to let go. I couldn't do that with other tires. Also, my eyes aren't good enough to read the tiny writing on analog (needle) gauges. This larger digital display lights up and is easier (not perfect) to read. Strange icons seem to light up from time to time which was confusing because I was inflating a flat tire but once the actual tire pressure was there there were no further issues. For me the best pump I have found so far. . I have poor eyesight and at 76 years old with a big belly I find it difficult to squat for long periods of time. Not so bad if I'm lugging a short stool. All in all, I'm glad I found this one.
