Accurate and Convenient: Introducing the Topeak Smart Head Digital Air Pressure Gauge Review

Although Schrader valves are fine, this gauge is almost impossible to use with Presta valves. In fact, I have yet to get accurate readings. What expensive junk

Absolutely cool thing. I only gave 4 stars because it is not very durable. Works great. I keep it in my saddlebag so I can inflate it to the right pressure if I sag during a car ride. Does not work well with short stem Presta valves.

The first problem with this gauge is that the gauge I was given only registered 0.0lb on Schrader valves, I don't have it on Presta- valves tried. The second problem is that if you throw it in a bag or package, the power button is permanently on. It is not protected by a frame and turns on at the slightest touch. Finally, it comes in sturdy plastic packaging - with nothing short of rivets - that you'll have to pierce with sharp objects and brute force.

I stumbled across this digital meter while looking for a replacement for my cheap + broken digital meter. Pros: + Very easy to use, nice shape, feels good in the hand. + Long-life 3V lithium battery. I have never had to replace the gauge in my meter and have had it for many years. + Automatic shutdown. + Beeps when the gauge is ready and the pressure is still displayed. + Measures up to 250 pounds per square inch. .+ Smarthead can be configured for Presta or Schrader valves.+ Readings in psi…

This is a piece of junk. The product feels cheap and the buttons to turn off and change units are right where your fingers want to be. You have to pull as hard as you can to get it off the presta valve, which tends to cut your fingers into the cog, or at least some of the spokes, at high speed. In addition to blood from the joints, this device also releases a lot of air when reading. Sometimes it just works, sometimes you don't get a reading no matter how you tilt it. While I've had better luck

I actually have an old one. It's exactly the same but under the Next Smart Gauge brand. It's very accurate, but I've always been frustrated by the near impossibility of getting readings on the Presta valves without releasing a significant amount of air. The problem is that the middle gauge needle gets stuck and presses against the Presta stem. Doesn't clean properly. Maybe some people don't have problems because some sensors don't freeze. After years of frustration, I found a solution today…
