Accutire'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 ... Read more

A must have item...
The best tire gauge I've ever used. Gas station airpumps, when they had meters, were inaccurate at best. Now they charge you for air, and you must bring your own gauge. (I bought an aircompressor, but I digress...) Plastic or metal, dial or stick gauges are not accurate either. Mine are at least 2-4lbs off from what the accutire reads. The accutire is cool looking, cool to use, and easy to use and read. My only negative is that I wish it had a longer hold period or a permanent hold with a manual zeroing of the reading. This item costs more than other gauges, but it pays for itself in the long run in more accurate readings hence, longer tire life if you check pressure regularly to maintain proper inflation.

Impossible to maintain a seal on some valve stems
I had an older Accutire that did not work well on my new car. I figured it was worn out and ordered this Gauge. It doesn't work either. It is impossible to maintain a good seal between the valve and the gauge. Instead of investing in fancy backlight etc. Accutire would have done much better by using a high quality sealing mechanism and not that flimiscal plastic/rubber combination. Using a different Gauge with a solid brass/metal connector I have no trouble at all. In short: I do not recommend.

Battery wore out in 2 months; extremely hard to use guage
2 months in and the battery for the back lit display is dead!! Hard to believe it only lasted that long ... I could just change the battery, but why? The guage itself is incredibly hard to get on the stem without hearing the hiss of air escaping your tires. Every now and then, I'd get a perfect lock the first time, but it's rare and hard to do.

I don't know about the accuracy ... I have a pen style guage that always show 2 pounds more pressure per tire than this digital model.

I have an Evo VIII, and tire pressures greatly influence the handling of the car, so I wanted a top quality guage. Unfortunately I got a guage that looks really nice, but is too hard to use and wore out too fast.

Short Lifespan
While the gauge itself is accurate, the center plastic tip wears out after about a year of use rendering the unit inoperable. Should have used a metal tip. Sorry I spent the money.

LOOKS great, works poorly: display on mantle?
This miracle of modern science works great the first 10 or 20 or 30 times.

Then you realize that readings are becoming increasingly inaccurate (and hard to obtain -- pfffffft!), and it's obvious that the $0.03 seal at the tip is failing. Where do you get a replacement? Ha, gotcha!

All show, no go at this point. ... Read more

Properly inflated tires are safer, more fuel-efficient, and enjoy a longer tread life than their improperly inflated counterparts. At the same time, traditional tire gauges are sometimes difficult to use, and their readings aren't always accurate. Enter the Accutire digital tire gauge. Accurate to within 0.5 psi, the Accutire digital tire gauge makes checking tire pressure a breeze. Featuring a rugged design, permanent lifetime lithium battery, and a factory-sealed power cell, this tire gauge is virtually maintenance free and safe to use in temperatures ranging from 0 to 100 degrees F. If problems ever do arise (as they sometimes do with any electronic device), they're nothing to worry about as Accutire offers a five-year warranty for added peace of mind. --Carl Thress ...

Accurate and Easy to Use
If you're like me and fumble helplessly with the traditional mechanical tire gauges while letting out more air than you put in, this the gauge for you! Simply press, remove, and read. It couldn't be easier, and it always works on the first try. In addition to its accuracy (within 0.5 psi) the LCD which stores the last reading is large and clear. The casing is plastic and protected by a rubber coating. The manufacturer will replace the battery should it run out.

Not Recommended Due To Unacceptable Coupling
I recently purchased this tire gauge based on an evaluation I read by Consumers Report. The gauge in fact did not seal or engage the valve stem on any of the tires I tested tightly and had to be moved around too much to get an acceptable seal. For me, this makes this tire guage unacceptable. Additionally, the gauge is made of very light weight plastic and subsequently feels cheaply made. It is made in China or at least the one I recieved was labeled made in China. Also, if you are planning to order the gauge through Amazon, Amazon has classified the tire gauge under "Tools & Hardware" which means that if you return the item due to your dislike of how it performs, Amazon will charge you a handling charge (in fact)of $9+ in addition to postage. This return charge is the highest catagory Amazon now has listed. If you really want to buy the item, look locally, where you may be refunded all of your purchase charge without paying a high penalty charge. Be very careful ordering this type of item from Amazon. Amazon does make it costly for the consumer to return items and their communications is less than acceptable or does not answer the question asked. Buyer beware, especially when dealing with Amazon.

Inexpensive assurance for obtaining optimum tire pressure
This product was purchased in the Fall of 2002...

Of the ten or so units on the display rack, two of the units' LCD readout turned on by itself when I squeezed the handle. The reading was 00.0. The units may have been dropped by other customers. Who knows.

Having checked all of the open box units (the newer shipments were sealed in plastic blister packages), I bought the one without the abnormal symptons. For comparison, I also bought a store brand Mastercraft Canadian Tire LCD digital unit for the same non-discounted price. Thank goodness for their generous refund policy at this store.

Tests were conducted on one cold tire. After 3 readings, the Accutire consistently read 30 psig (which was the recommended tire pressure for my car). The Canadian Tire unit consistently read 30.5 psig. The cheapest spring loaded stick-type tire gage consistently read 32 psig.

I can safely declare that either one of the Accutire and Canadian Tire gages are correct within 0.5 psig as specified. The stick-type gage is way off.

Pros;

1) Accurate to within 0.5 psig which is acceptable for safe and economical driving.
2) [cost less]
3) 5 year warranty.
4) Aside from the occasional cleaning of the tip, and as long as you don't drop it; it's maintenance free.
5) Low temperature tolerable lithium battery.
6) For my hands, the unit has an ergonomically comfortable rubber-coated grip.
7) Air tight seal on all valves tested everytime.

Cons;

1) A bit chunky in size for compact storage inside the car.
2) It's an electronic equipment, so be delicate with it.
3) Not designed to be water resistant.

The unit has sat inside the car through one 2002 frosty southern Ontario winter, and several hot and humid 2003 summer days. No problems so far.

A valuable and value priced tool.

Not everyone is happy...
Great idea, gauge no workie! No instructions for re-setting (not Zero set) just -0.0 staring back at me. Worse! No website with which to lodge a complaint or ask for help (even though it's not rocket science). C'mon guys, it's 2003! I must be one of the unlucky ones or just unbearably grumpy.

Money well spent
This is by far the best tire gauge I've ever used at any price (and by that I mean from a $2 K-Mart special to a $60 precision mechanical gauge). It's accurate, easy to use, and easy to read. I liked it so much I immediately bought a second one so I could have one in both cars. You won't regret this purchase. For what it's worth, Radio Shack sells this same gague under their own brand label, and they sometimes put them on sale for $... ... Read more

Short Lived
I used this inflator for about two years approximately 10 times a year for car/bike/lawn tractor/wheelbarrow tires. It takes at least five minutes to inflate a normal car tire from semi flat. Obviously very handy and portable when inflating garden equipment.
Mine just stopped working yesterday, and when I took it apart I figured out why: the small metal bladder that is inside the piston compressor broke of, jamming the piston. Could not be fixed, so I chucked it, and am now looking for a new one. ... Read more
