Based on my experience, this tire gauge failed to deliver reliable readings, rendering it useless for any serious automotive work. It was also quite pricey compared to comparable models.
Really like the gauge. I like everything about it. But I hate the way it was packaged. It is packaged in such a way that the hose has a very strong kink. Mine is so bad it has a line/crack in the hose. Very disappointed.
Advantages: 1) Large, easy-to-read 0.25psi dial. inch 2) Fully protected by shock absorbing rubber bushing 3) All metal construction 4) Comes with two different cartridges Bad: 1) Meter packaging method. Wrap around the face of the gauge. Wrapping the hose around such a small space resulted in a permanent kink in my gauge hose.
