JACO Deluxe Tire Pressure Gauge Review

If you want to use it on a bright sunny day in perfect conditions in a flat RV park, then this gauge is for you. If you want to get off the beaten track, get something else. It looks tough in the picture, until you drop it on the curb (when you really need me to try and pump up a flat RV tire) and the shiny plastic parts (you thought it was metal) cracked. The sensor survived, but I couldn't connect it to the tire's air valve due to cracks. Looks solid, but it's not. It's in a dumpster now, on…

This meter works as it should and is well made for the price. I can see that as long as it is taken care of it will last and I will definitely buy it again. I have received several messages from JACO customer service to ensure the product meets my expectations and given me a contact if I ever need assistance! If you are looking for this for your motorcycle, consider the Pro version (with extension hose). The angle makes it difficult to access the stem of a road bike tire (although you can). It…

The sensor itself looks and works well. However, the outer, ill-fitting two-piece rubber and nylon shell feels very cheap. After checking the reviews, others received this item either in a blister pack or in a box. Some got a device with an air pressure scale on the back, some didn't. My device came in a box and does not have an air pressure scale on the back. If you can put up with a loose suitcase, this is the device for you. If you wish, you can simply remove the robust housing completely…

Very poorly built. The pressure release button seems untied and almost ready to fall right out of the box. When the pressure gauge is pressed against the tire studs, air escapes between them during the measurement. Maybe adding an o-ring or something would help. However, it should work right away, right? Overall, the thing looks great, but that's all it needs. My 18 year old Accugage feels MUCH tighter and more precise. This differs by about 3 psi (above). I compared its accuracy to two other…

I give this product 5 stars as it works as advertised and the packaging was excellent. It holds the reading until you press the button and also deflates by holding the button down and pressing against the tire's valve stem, which is a nice feature. The only "criticism" I have is that the dial is black and the numbers are white. I have old eyes and all gauges in my classic GTO are white with black lettering. This may not be a problem for younger people, but if you're in a dimly lit part of the…

This review was written about 3.5 years after my purchase (06/28/19). This thing is pure Chinese junk. The meter looks well made and solid. Of course it must have lived much longer, I kept it in my truck's door pocket, protected from damage and easily accessible. Easy to read, feels good in hand, feels like a hit. However, a few months ago I began to doubt the accuracy of the sensor. Yesterday (June 26) my assumption was confirmed when I received completely different readings from all three…

I received the replacement today 6/25/2020 and immediately tested it on my truck tires. It worked great! Thanks JACO for the right solution. I definitely recommend this company! I bought this specific pressure gauge for my truck tires which require much higher pressure than the average car tire. It seemed pretty easy and I've tested it on several tires with poor results. As soon as I removed the pressure gauge from the air shaft, the needle popped to zero and I heard a hiss from not holding the
