Product DescriptionThis tire gauge has a fully geared , solid brass precision movement with a bronze Bourdon tube.
Worth more than its price (Rating: 5 out of 5) It's not often I give a product an unabashedly glowing
review. Some of the best products can have minor flaws
which make them less than perfect.
I have yet to find any flaws with this product. Not only
do its readings track exactly with my accurate (but hard
to seal) digital gauge, but one look at the design detail
tells you that it's thoughtfully designed.
A persistent problem with air pressure gauges is the seal
made with the tire valve. My Accu-tire gauge, for all its
accuracy, was an exercise in frustration when it came to
getting a tight seal, without which the pressure reading is meaningless. Looking at the Accu-tire, I was led to wonder why the manufacturer hadn't considered guiding the gauge onto the valve with a short length of solid tubing, together with an o-ring seal inside.
Accu-gage has done just that with their product. Using solid brass fittings (clearly designed to last), the hose end is pushed onto the valve through its guide tube, making a tight seal all but guaranteed. If you need to use a tire inflater to add pressure, an adapter is provided for that purpose, and the guide tube can be locked in place while the tire is being inflated.
I can't find anything not to like, and would have paid more to get a product of this quality.
