ST-TIRE-PRES-1

I have a very old electronic gauge I keep in the glove box, but recently it seemed to be reading somewhat high. I also have a number of old pencil-type gauges that did not all read the same. So I ordered this Summit Tools gauge along with a new low-cost electronic gauge that goes up to 150 lbs for my truck (I wish this gauge went above 60 psi). This gauge is very easy to use and read - big dial, and it fits my hand well. At 40 psi, it reads within 1 lb of the new digital gauge, so I consider both of them reasonably accurate. It also allowed me to confirm which pencil gauges were still correct and trash the others. The pressure bleed valve on the gauge works quite slowly - too slow to be of much use with big car or truck tires, but it will make it easy to get just the right pressure in the smaller ones.

Very nice. Seems to be dead-on accurate, and the cool gear-looking rubber housing protects the gauge well (I’ve already accidentally dropped it on the driveway from about 4-5 feet, not even so much as a scratch on it!). Only wish the stem was about 50% shorter, as it is a bit of a tight fit on smaller tires found on many of the electric scooters out there. Probably not the intended purpose of this though, so may not be a concern to most other buyers. Quality product, overall.

It takes me multiple attempts and two hands to acquire a good seal. It's a bulky product and may be better suited for a commercial environment. Smaller and simpler is better. It's disappointing only because I check my tire pressure with weather changes and it's not as simple as I'd hoped. Amendment: After using it for a while it's becoming easier to use. The guage release valve is handy. It does take 2 hands to use effectively. It is easy to read and the guage face rotates which helps.

Was looking for something more robust than the average pocket air gauge. Found it in this gauge! It is easy to hang on to with the rubberized cover. Has a one way valve that "holds" the reading and is easily reset with small button on the side of the gauge. Small enough to keep in the truck door but big enough to find easily and check pressures with one hand.

So far all three descriptions above are accurate. I just adjusted my pickup tires to within the proper pressure. That’s not always easy to do. It’s range also covers my x-300 mower. Great product.

It’s sturdy, simple and accurate. I had a battery operated one and the battery went dead and was difficult to replace. This one always works. It’s a little heavy, but it survived a drop with no damage. I like that it holds the reading after it’s used. I had to check the pressure of the spare tire on my 4Runner, which I s under the truck. This worked.

Ergonomics are superior to anything I have used in the past. Which includes digital, and the common pencil shape variety. The large Swivel head dial that retains reading is impressive along with glow in the dark numbers. Specs say it is calibrated so I'm trusting the marketing claim. Upon initial use my tires had 4 different readings plus or minus 6 psi. After adjust in using this unit , I can feel a difference in handling and the tires are all the same psi after a few days. Feels rugged and we'll built. I hope it lasts longer than my previous gauges.

I like the angle of the air inlet. It especially helps with car valve stems. Has a nice professional feel and appearance. The check and release button holds your reading until you press the button to relieve the pressure you have read.
