Review on πŸ“ Accutire MS-4021B Digital Tire Pressure Gauge: Achieve Precise and Accurate Air Pressure Readings by Michael Keegan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Engineers screw up good thing

I got this sensor for a second car as I had a previous sensor model for another car. The previous model was great; Accurate, easy to read and turns on instantly when the tire valve is pressed. Then someone decided to "improve" it by adding a button to turn it on. When pressed, it takes a second or two before it actually turns on. This is normal but it only burns for 15-16 seconds. So if you check the air in 4 tires and they are all a few pounds under, press the ON button, measure the pressure, inflate some air, press the ON button, measure the pressure and repeat this sequence until the Pressure in that one tire will not be correct. Then repeat for 3 more hoops. By the time you're done, you've pressed that damn button at least 8 times, and maybe twice that, because how many times can you add the right amount of air the first time. Not much time wasted but man this is ANNOUNCEMENT!

Pros
  • good thing
