Accutire MS 4021R Digital Pressure Gauge Review

Works well but is very fragile. If you sit or step on it, it's history. Too bad they didn't make the plastic case a little thicker. Just be gentle with it when you use it. You can't throw away your toolbox, it will go bad. SECRET OF THE BATTERY. I have purchased three of these gauges and all three have been DEAD BATTERY and FIXED. When buying these measuring devices, make sure that you buy particularly high-quality batteries.

So my dad had one of these back when it was renamed Radio Shack. After he died, I took it and kept using it. It worked great for a long time until (I mean about 10 years or more) it finally broke when I accidentally dropped it too high on the concrete. I really liked its ergonomics, it was easy to read and it was dead. - Right on that I was so glad to find it. It's the same as what they did for Radio Shack but actually improved. It has a nice backlight so you can read in the dark if you need…

Looks accurate but awkward to use. First, the red LED display is too dim to be seen in the sun. Even in the garage, it's hard to see. The most frustrating thing is that it turns itself off automatically almost every time I retest my tire. Read the tire pressure - it is too high. Wait 20 seconds and release some air. Take the pressure gauge (still accept) and start retesting. When I put it back on the valve stem it goes off. This particular model was recommended to me for its accuracy. I have a…

I've had an earlier version of this for many years. They appear to be identical except for the color of the rubber grip. Except. ;) In the old version there was no backlight for the LED. You pressed the valve stem and the pressure gauge showed pressure. If it was dark, you need a flashlight. OK, I can live with that. Now I buy a new version and press on the valve stem. And he doesn't read anything. The? I start investigating it and find a small button that I now have to press that wasn't there…

I bought my first Accutire tire gauge in 2014 and never had any problems with it. Eventually I gave it to my brother who wanted the same thing. It was time to get a new tire gauge and I had no doubt that I would buy the same one (even if it was red instead of black this time ;) The tire gauge is small, sturdy and made of crazy quality material. Because of its small size, I can store it in the glove compartment of my car. I've compared the readings to several other gauges and they are fairly…

I bought 1 for myself then 3 more for my family and friends, this is a must have for car owners in multi season regions. I live in Chicago and in spring and even fall the temperature can vary widely between 24 and 48 hours. I have experienced it being under 30 one day and over 70 the next day. When the weather is this crazy it's better to be safe than sorry so I can inflate my tires to the correct tire pressure. Older vehicles do not have an onboard monitoring system that can measure the…

I had an Accutire MS-4021 B, probably the black version. I bought it many years ago and it works perfectly. The battery was never empty. It was accurate, felt like quality. I moved to another state and unfortunately lost my favorite Accutire sensor. Nobody saw him again. There was something about the Accutire that I liked aside from its extreme accuracy, which is most important. I wanted to buy it again, but it was always sold out. I needed a pressure gauge, so I bought a reliable pressure…

, although rated the most accurate by consumer magazines, it is difficult to use and has many disadvantages: 1 - Numbers/displays are too small. plus red numbers on a red background 2 - too light numbers / readings. difficult to read in normal sunlight or daylight. You have to do a "dance" to get the sensor in the right position to finally read the numbers. Bring "dance shoes" when using it as you have to twist, turn and move your head a lot just to read some numbers. Bring glasses and/or a…
