Review on πŸ‘¨ Campbell Hausfeld DA552400 Tire Pressure Gauge, 0-60 PSI - Shrader by David Thomley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Standard for most mechanics

I suspect this is the standard for people who expect accurate tire pressure checks, especially if you don't rely on gauges which can be a more reliable store. . I wish it was like the sensors I bought 45 years ago, made in the USA with almost the same specs. So, a metal body, a good pressure relief valve that can be pushed when pumping air to control any mechanical air pump well. Steel body of the valve stem, and the only caveat is that with all sensors of this type, it is expected that the sensor will be held very tightly so that it can have a firm "connection" with the tire's valve stem. It should be almost flat between the gauge and the tire stem so it can be pushed down hard enough to prevent air from escaping through the tire valve. All tire nipples are so delicate. So if you're an older woman who doesn't have enough traction on your fingers and arms, you might want to consider a pressure gauge that attaches to the threads of the tire nipple, screwing into the valve to maintain enough pressure. to record accurate pressure readings. I always over-inflate my tires to set the pressure a little higher than recommended for the car. The reason is this: I believe it helps the valves of tires with different densities to better control the tire by maintaining the pressure you think the tire needs. Again, I think every tire holds pressure better, considering tire valves are slightly different in their construction, which I think can be seen in how well some valves differ in how well they match the tire pressure gauge. with a valve when checking the pressure (have been riding motorcycles for many years where tire safety is vital for survival). If you set your tire pressures a little higher on tires with valves that don't seem to let air through or stop air when they inflate, especially a mechanical air pump, I think the right choice is to leave what I feel is the tire pressure of the more sensitive valves is higher. My reasoning is that these are valves that need to be monitored more closely. If they're deflating faster than your other tires, the solution is obvious: a new tire valve.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
