Review on Longacre 52 52003 0 60PSI 2 5InGID Deluxe by James Davis

Bought two of these pressure gauges, one for myself and the other sent to my son as a birthday present. Yesterday I tested the gauge, it works great and compared to the other two it's very accurate, easy to install and holds the reading until released. In this respect, this pressure gauge easily deserves five stars. This pressure gauge itself is certainly a beautifully constructed tool, but unfortunately it comes stuffed into a small package, causing an otherwise good quality hose to kink. When he contacted my son he confirmed that he had arrived with a kinked hose. The pressure gauge still seems to work fine but I'm afraid I will always have this scar from improper packaging and if the hose is damaged this point will contribute to future twisting pending a possible failure. I've read several reviews with similar complaints, not sure why I expected different results. In this respect I am disappointed and should have paid more attention to the reviews of others before buying.
