We have this tire gauge for 5 years and it works everytime. It is a very good product. A good quality product.

This is an awesome guage. I work in the tire business and this guage is very accurate and durable. I have used it regularly for a year and a half and will be purchasing another when this one finally does go.

I like having a tire gauge and I like having one that fits on a key chain but it is small and delicate for getting a good reading quickly. The end must be matched up flush to avoid air escaping and I am left wondering if an "O" ring or other gasket is missing from the unit... other traditional gauges I've used suffer similar problems... hard to read at night or with even modest vision impairments.

Good price and very small, but hard to get a reading sometimes. One must hold the gauge on the tire for quite a while. Nothing spectacular or horrible about this product..

This tiny little key chain does exactly what it's supposed to. Very small, very cheap and very good. I even checked it's accuracy. Recommend if you only need to check your tires with a very low price but accurated device.

I ordered 5 of these as Christmas gifts-- four to give away and one to keep for myself. I am very thankful that I decided to try the keeper before giving out the remainder. I found the guage to be of very poor quality. It was very difficult to create a good seal around the tire valve stem without substantial leakage. Consequently, I could never get an accurate pressure reading. I returned all five to Amazon.

Hopefully someone will recommend a good alternative, even if its priced a bit more. It would also be nice to have a light on the dial come on for a few (10-15?) seconds after obtaining a reading. This would be very helpful at night or in a dark garage.

Notice that Amazon says this is a discontinued item? Mine was non-operational out of the box. The error code displayed on the unit indicates the "lifetime" lithium power cell is depleted. Looks like it's been sitting around in a warehouse for quite some time and they are now getting unloaded on Amazon. Beware.

I did have this gauge for probably nearly 2 years before I got the dreaded "L" on it's display. This means it is probably a low, dead or malfunctioning lithium battery. Then you'll need to send it in for a "free" warranty repair. That is, if you can find Accutire's correct warranty address. The back of the gauge's packing had an address I had mailed it to and it was returned to me. i.e. 80 Little Falls Rd., Fairfield, NJ is an INCORRECT address OR at least my package was returned to me anyway. Check it out carefully. Heck... At what they sell for, it'd probably just be better to toss it and buy a new one for all the troubles & hassles.

of the five guages i bght, each and every one has died! they worked good for several times, but after a month of maybe 6 uses each, each passed on to wherever cheap products go to. wasted my money...

I chose this gauge because it was small and would be easily available to keep on my key chain.

When I went to test the pressure in my tires with this gauge getting a reading was a problem.

The larger gauge from Accutire works great, this smaller version was not a good choice.
