1.0 out of 5 stars don't count on this tire gauge lasting very long, September 11, 2005

I owned this item, and it died within about a year with only minor use -- maybe once every two months. The battery can't be replaced. What a waste of money.

I bought this product elsewhere, but I must say it's probably the worst car product I've ever purchased.

I used it ONCE. The next time I tried, it was broken or the battery was too low -- and that's within 6 weeks! Buy this product and you've thrown your money away. Period.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor reliability on 2 out of 2, March 5, 2010

This review is from: Accutire MS-4800B Digital Pencil Tire Gauge with Tread Depth Indicator (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased two of these gauges several years ago since the price was attractive. Although they were used very little, both have gone bad. Both gauges now read "L" whenever applied to a properly inflated tire. I even, painstakingly, disassembled one of them and replaced the battery; but, that did not help.

Judging by the other reviews, my experience was not unusual.

By contrast I've owned a Brookstone tire pressure gauge for about 15 years which still works perfectly with the original battery.
