Review on πŸ” Precision at Your Fingertips: CARBO Instruments Pressure Female Pointer by Matthew Baltimore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good price for the average user

This product is quite well made. It gives consistent readings, although I don't have a reference to make sure the reading is correct. The fitting is well made with threads that fit nicely onto the stub and includes a rubber washer so it's ready to use. The big downside is that the red "high point" needle is set very loose, totally unusable. The purpose of this needle is to record the maximum reading of the black pressure needle so you can read the pressure after disconnecting the gauge. However, the needle is so free that when pushed by the black needle, it will leave its position. When you move the sensor, the red arrow just wiggles. If they include it, it should work. You can see what happens in the video. My reading is around 45psi, but the red arrow is pointing at 125. This gauge is good for the occasional homeowner, but I wouldn't recommend it for professionals.

Pros
  • Burdong tube type, brass and copper alloy wetted parts
Cons
  • Expensive
