This review is from: Tachikara GAUGE Ball Pressure Gauge (Sports)

Oddly, one review here posted a complaint about the gauge arriving with only 15 psi MAX on the gauge. Reading that actually made my decision more firm because the ball with the highest recommended PSI that I own (an Adidas thermal bonded TEAMGEIST BALL) calls for 11.6 - 14.5 (never have seen a ball that called for more).

More accuracy (better eye-balling) around 15 is just want I wanted -- I never need the gauge to read higher than that (15-20 is overkill and not needed). The gauge is extremely steady and accurate. It's a weighty, quality item. Looks good. Has an easy to use release valve. Very quick to get your ball 100% accurate. I did get one that goes only to 15 psi. Throw away those crappy "stick" gauges, which are incredibly inaccurate. These little beauties will do the trick! I never thought I'd be excited to have a ball gauge ;)

I also picked up an additional (spare) gauge and the Tachikara double action pump. I've got three cheap pumps at home that can't even get the ball pumped up to 15 psi...this little tiny pump did it in about 50 strokes!

This review is from: Tachikara GAUGE Ball Pressure Gauge (Sports)

I've always been particular about basketball, football, and soccer ball pressure, as I think it makes a great deal of difference in the feel of the ball (and it seems I'm in the minority). This is a nice tool to regulate ball pressure, though not perfect. You have to air up the ball over capacity, which most balls can handle with ease, then deflate in small increments using the push button on the side. The instrument allows for great precision.

NOTE: My gauge does not look like the one in the picture. It goes up to 15 lbs, not 20 as the picture shows, and the push button on the side is plastic. These changes do not affect my opinion of the product, but it is different than the amazon picture.

I bought this gauge two years ago for reffing soccer, you need to have accurate pressure especially at higher levels, it just recently broke i think due to an over inflated ball or maybe just mishandling but regardless, 10 dollars for two years of work was fine with me, I will be buying a new one.
