I have owned different variations (with & without hose) of this air gauge for years. It is made of brass with 4 moving parts. It is accurate, consistent and reasonably priced. The quality and durability are very good for an air gauge in this price range. Remember, when buying an air gauge, the pressure you plan to use it for needs to be in the middle of the range of the gauge for best accuracy. If you are checking car tires in the 28-35 PSI range you want to buy a 0-60 PSI gauge. If you are using it on trailer and truck tires that operated at 45-60 PSI you want a 0-100 PSI gauge. Also, when checking tires it is best to check them when the tires are cold. The recommended pressures stamped on the side of the tires, in the owner's manual etc. are for cold tires. When driving the tire temperature rises due to heat generated by friction so any reading you take when the tires are hot will be high and not accurate.

The straight angle fitting with the flexible hose is the easiest gauge to use without loosing air due to mis-alignment when using. You hold the gauge with one hand such that it is facing you for easy reading, and have the other hand to use to handle the fitting end. The straight angle fitting is much easier to align than the angled head type units; and the straight, narrow, metal end reaches easily into places that other gauges will not go, thereby also being easier on your hand and obtaining accurate readings. The gauge is accurate. The gauge holds the pressure reading after taking a reading, this allows for easy viewing of the reading. The pressure reading is then released from the gauge by pressing the pressure release button on the side of the gauge. This button can also be used to easily and accurately release pressure from a tire as may be needed. The gauge's pressure range (100 psi) is appropriately designed for the common air pressure readings of standard automobile tires (35 psi) and the compact spare tires (60 psi). One of the best and most accurate air pressure gauges for the price.

This is an accurate and well made pressure gauge. After a couple of months mine had a problem "holding" the reading after removing valve from stem. No problem. Mailed it back and got a new one! Lifetime warrranty. No questions asked, and made in USA. 'nuff said.

I've had other Accu-Gage tire gages all high quality and made in USA and have been very pleased with them. Now they are made in China and the quality of the materials is typical Chinese junk. Other reviews here say it's made in the USA , but sadly no longer. G H Meiser must have hired a new MBA to run their company.

This gauge seems to work just fine...I have really only used it a handful of times, but it forms a good easy seal to the tire valve and multiple readings on the same wheel are always the same, so it seems consistent. After using it to get all four tires to their recommended pressures, the car's pressure warning indicator dimmed, so this is the evidence i need that the gauge is accurate as well.
The bleeder valve is very handy (you don't really realize it until you've had to use one without it) and the long hose allows you to make a tight seal with one hand while taking a reading with the other. It also holds the last reading until you press the release valve button - very nice.
Overall quality is good and the price is very reasonable. I expect this gauge to last a long time, so I am happy with my purchase. Wholly recommended.

I purchased the Accu-gage after giving up on an electronic model I spent alot more for. It shipped promptly, and to my surprise, they included a protective rubber cover separately, and at no charge. The gauge is very accurate, easy to use just as described, and truly holds a reading until you release pressure with the relief button. It's a GREAT value.

I like the gauge, the flexible neck and the way the gauge functions. I purchased the 100 PSI version for my vehicles which run 50 PSI as these gauges are usually the most accurate around the middle of their range. Keep in mind the accuracy of this gauge is +or- 2 PSI so if your going to check it and expect it to be right on it might not be. I think a variation of 2 PSI for a less than $20 gauge is acceptable.

I purchased several more of these gauges as they make great Christmas gifts.

I've found this gauge much easier to use than my old gauges and as a result find myself more consistent on checking the tire pressure on all of my vehicles.

I've had the gauge a couple years and thought it was working well. One day I checked my car tire pressure and the gauge indicated the pressure in all tires was in the mid 40s (should be low 30s)! I figured a mechanic had over inflated them, so I let some air out. Several weeks later my mechanic checked my pressure and said my tires were under very underinflated (mid 20s) and he filled them. When I got home, I checked again. Sure enough it read in the mid 40s. I checked against another gauge and which read in the mid 30s - which is what the mechanic set them to. Bottom line: this gauge is now reading about 10 psi too high and is effectively broken (I'm not entirely sure it ever worked correctly.)

I'm just your average car owner, I really don't care if my gauge is within a certain percentage of actual, as long as I'm sure my tires are all set correctly. This gauge is great, it is easy to use, I like the straight on tip. I bought the rubber housing for it and am very very happy.

The gauge works great and holds the air pressure until relelased with the button. Been looking for a gauge with these features for some time.
Bought the gauge with the rubber protection boot and tire depth gauge. NOT A GOOD IDEA unless you like paying exorbetent shipping costs; paid separate shipping for each item since each item is from a different company (as I was rudely informed by one of the companies reps). Buy the gauge and that's it. If the suggestion is to buy three (or however many items) together, it is my opinion the suggested package be bundled and REDUCE SHIPPING. Smart a-- remarks from company email answering reps is not appreciated.
