and the 2nd was perfect. Keeping this with my car trailer

This item arrived exactly as advertised. actually there are two. The first was broken upon delivery, Prime clung to it, and the second was perfect. I keep this with my car trailer where it works great when I check my tires. I really like the bleed valve and usually inflate it a few psi over target and use the bleed valve to release the pressure to my desired level. Great thermometer for the money.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

which I certainly do not recommend, put the bag on the dial and .

Next to the gauge a small piece flies out and is lost rendering this gauge unusable. The first time I found it, and then I put my hand on it so it wouldn't fly away. However, today I forgot to put my hand on it and it flew into space and was never found again. If you buy this, which I definitely don't recommend, put a bag over the dial and the brass part up to the black tubing so you don't lose it if that part bursts. I should have returned it when it first exploded. Too late.

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Negative impression

I would never have bought this if I knew how inaccurate it is.

The unit I received did not arrive with the Accu-Gage unit. The one I received came with a Tru Flate logo gauge. I couldn't find any published accuracy standards for this Tru-Flate. I borrowed some pressure gauges from friends. Compared to several other gauges, the one I received consistently read 5-6 pounds more than any other. All measurements were taken in the mid-range (75-80 psi) where a respectable gauge would be 2% +/- mid-range. The reading of this product is 4 times higher than that of

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Lots of things

Perfect for RV's for Electrics

This is a great tire pressure gauge for our small C-class motorhome. The air hold feature is great because I don't have to hold the cartridge on the valve stem and try to read the gauge at the same time. As RV enthusiasts know, some valve stems are hard to reach, and this gauge gets to all six on our rig. Too many times I lost air with my old gauge and had to add more air. This sensor is the perfect solution and now I use it on my cars too! All gauges can vary slightly and I find this gauge…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Reliability

I work well for my needs.

Pretty accurate after checking with my digital manometer. At around 4 psi it's a little different. Assuming my digital sensor is properly calibrated. The reason I bought this gauge with a digital one was so I could press the button on the stem to vent for beach riding. And in the fishing season I do that a lot! I didn't want to risk damaging the valves when bleeding by simply using a digital pressure gauge molded into the valve. Works great for this task. If you need an accurate reading, there…

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Almost never

What do you expect?

It serves its purpose well. Quality at the highest level. High quality made in the USA. Works well for checking the pressure in my trailer tires that run at 110psi. I wish it came with a nylon case and a straight liner instead of the reversible type, but I wish it had an AccuGage dial and beggars couldn't make up their minds. This is a much higher quality than Slime sensors or other Chinese sensors available. Revain initially made a mistake and sent me the wrong sensor, but when I called them…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Disappears
