Amazon.com ReviewAccutire's new, deluxe digital tire gauge delivers precise tire pressure reading every time--and that's important. While manual tire gauges seem flimsy, sometimes stick, and can give inconsistent results, Accutire's digital gauge is a well-made, confidence-inspiring instrument. The Accutire also delivers impressive consistency: in our tests, we got within plus/minus 1/2 psi each time, something that's not likely to happen with a manual gauge. The Accutire's large back-lit LCD screen is easy to read, too, no matter if you're standing in pitch-black dark or in bright daylight. The gauge measures from 5 to 99 psi, in 1/2-pound increments, and automatically shuts itself off after you use it. Built with a rugged aluminum housing, a rubber nose, and tail guards, this gauge also comes with a handy steel side clip, in case you need to carry yours with you wherever you go. And when it's not in use, you can store the Accutire in its felt-lined, snap-shut case, so it won't get beat up rattling around in your glove box. Accutire's digital gauge costs more than a manual gauge, but with its lifetime lithium battery, it's going to last you a long, long time. --Jon Groebner
Amazon.com Product DescriptionAccutire's new MS-4000B deluxe digital tire gauge delivers a precise tire pressure reading every time--and that's important. Correct tire pressure helps your vehicle travel efficiently, reduces wear on your tires, and keeps your gas mileage optimal. Many manual tire gauges are not durable, often stick, and can give inconsistent results, but Accutire's digital gauge is a well-made, confidence-inspiring instrument that will last for years to come.
Solid Design
The MS-4000B has a unique, ergonomic design that allows you to maintain a firm grip while checking your tires. The head is more solidly built than most other tire gauges, and allows for a good seating on the valve stem to reduce the possibility of escaping air and an incorrect measurement.

Easy to Read
The Accutire's large back-lit LCD screen is easy to read, whether you're standing in pitch-black darkness or in bright daylight. It measures from 5 to 99 psi, in 1/2-pound increments, which lends itself to industrial-sized equipment, and automatically shuts itself off after you use it to save on battery usage. Stylish and Ergonomic
Built with a rugged aluminum housing, a rubber nose, and tail guards, this gauge also comes with a handy steel side clip in case you need to take it with you. When it's not in use, you can store the MS-4000B in its felt-lined, snap-shut case, so it won't get beat up rattling around in your glove box. This gauge is a precision tool with great styling. The ergonomic design gives the gauge a quality feel and the aluminum case will protect it in the years ahead. Under-inflated tires may cause the vehicle to work harder and therefore worsen the gas mileage, and moreover damage the tires. The MS-4000B is an easy and accurate way to make sure they are working best for you.
Warranty
The MS-4000B has a limited 5-year warranty.
batteries do not last (Rating: 2 out of 5) I had the gauge for 4 years. it worked ok.
The batteries are suppose to be lifetime, but died after 3 years. Then I replaced them and they died after a year.
The best thing about this product is the case.
Great working gadget (Rating: 5 out of 5) I bought another one of these tire gauges for my daughter because it is the best & easiest to use tire gauge I've ever had. I checked & I couldn't find any newer gauge types to even begin to tempt me to try something different. Mine is at "least" 10 years old and is still working like a champ. What I love best about it is that I can find the right position on the tire stem very easily and the numbers are big for easy reading. You can't go wrong if you purchase this tire gauge.
Aggravating (Rating: 1 out of 5) The rubber sleeve on the business end rides up and gets in the way of getting a good seal on the valve stem. Its also a too fat and requires a certain angle which makes it hard to get a reading from hard to reach valve stems like on my motorcycle.
assume it is disposable (Rating: 2 out of 5) I have had the gauge for about 3 years. Worked fine for that period. The "lifetime" lithium battery has died, and nobody at the company is returning my emails or calls about how to get it replaced. Very annoying. So divide the purchase price by 3 to get annual cost. Then throw it away.
Good Gauge (Rating: 5 out of 5) Been using mine now for over three years. Got 'em real cheap at the time. Had ordered five of them. I gave four to close friends and kept the one for myself. It works very well and is easy to use. You get a nice spring hinged fake leather covered medal case with it. Just like a REVO sunglasses case.
Con: The rubber nose piece starts to slide forward of the metal case after using it for a while. It happens from pushing it on the valve stem. No big deal, though. I just push the lip back into the metal housing and never had it come close to coming all the way off.
I would buy it again.
