1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work for me, March 11, 2010

This review is from: Slime 1011-A Low Pressure Pencil Gauge with Bonus Valve Caps (1 - 20 PSI) (Misc.)

I bought this gauge to measure the pressure on my beach cart wheels made by Wheeleez. I use this cart to carry my fishing kayak over sand so the tires have to be between 2.5-3psi, very soft. This gauge didn't register at all even though I inflated the tires to the point where they became hard, so I'm sure they had more than 3psi in them. I could measure the bicycle tires at 4psi but it seems this gauge is not good for anything lower than that. I returned it today and I'm going to order a different model today. I hope this review will help someone with a similar application.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for low pressure tires like ATV's, February 15, 2008

If you have low pressure tires you have to have one of these. The product description is a little dumb as the vehicles with these type tires aren't usually worried about mileage or treadwear, just their safety. Improperly inflated tires on an ATV is a hazard.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless. Won't measure PSI at all, December 26, 2011

I purchased this to measure the pressure in my reverse osmosis system. It doesn't measure the PSI at all. I think the problem is with the design of the head that you attach to the stem/valve of whatever you are trying to measure. It just doesn't look right and is very cheap plastic. Stay away from this and choose a different product.
