 Good enough accuracy, but impractical grip and battery. September 4, 2010
K. Lee (Orange County, CA USA)
The pressure reading is accurate enough for everyday use. It is more precise and easy to read than most analog gauges built-into air compressors. But one must take off the sticker written "28.5" before using it, but it seems like some people were unaware of this fact and gave this product and undeserving poor rating. If one just tries to get a good connection between the gauge and the tire's air nozzle without air hissing, the reading is good enough.
However, there are digital tire gauges in the market for cheaper price that functions the same. At this moment Amazon.com's price is $9.99 plus applicable shipping, but Ebay has another product for 4.99, shipping included.
The part that I hated the most was the "non-slip" grip. Yes, it is rubber and maybe prevention from dropping, but if it becomes dirty it is really hard to clean. I can't pour water on it since the batteries are there, and wet towels get rubbed on it if I use them to clean this device due to the rubber's friction. The rubber lets every dust stick on it and gets dirtier and dirtier over time. Most cars' tires are dirty with the contaminants from the road surface. Your hands would be less than clean when working with them, and the uncleanable gauge will get dirty as well.
Most people will find themselves using this product only for the duration of the batteries included in it from the purchase and not replace them. The bolt that was used to close the battery case is of cheesy material and so tightly inserted that it gets marred when trying to open it. It's impossible to open a bolt with marred (bald) top. Besides, someone has stated on another review that the product requires three batteries that are fairly costly, making it better to buy a new, cheaper gauge.

I bought this Accutire MS-4021B Standard Digital Tire Gauge and another digital tire pressure guage by Instapark and both worked just fine and are much more accurate than a standard pen style pressure guage. If your vehical has a tire pressure monitoring system these digital pressure guages are a must.

Several months ago I bought a meter of these and has gone very well, it's simple but very secure. The batteries still work
 poor performance, temperatur sensitive August 7, 2010

Difficult to get a seal with the fitting, too loose. Hard to read. Read 2 lbs lower than premium mechanical gauge. Very dubious. Weird calibration method in instructions, hard to carry out. forget it.
specification emphasizes temperature sensitivity and operating range no higher than 100f. If kept in glove compartment in summer, may get too hot to operate.
It's normal for electronics to have limited high temperature operation. The old mechanical meters have their advantages.
