Easy to use and easy to save $$$
We would all love to take a break from buying gas right now, let alone new tires. Guess what? Basic maintenance helps — correct tire pressure can improve your gas mileage by up to 3%.
Tires must maintain a certain PSI (pressure per square inch), which is usually marked on the side of the tire or inside the door. It’s not just a disposable number – the measurement is important for safety, energy efficiency and more, so you want the correct reading.
But let’s face it: most people don’t service their car if it’s a pain, confusing, or too expensive. But buyers say it hits the mark on all fronts.
A five-star fan summed up: “Easy to use and easy to read. The price was right too.”
“Great tool to keep in your glove compartment,” writes another fan. “This gauge is easy to use and read. Even if your tire pressure looks good, this tool will give you an accurate reading! With gas prices rising, properly inflated tires are important for saving fuel. essence.”
Sometimes even mechanics get it wrong. “I saved my tyres! says a fan of the gadget. “I had two new tires and I didn’t know the guys were putting 40 pounds of air in my rear tires when they should have 30. The alert kept going off in my car so I used this digital pressure gauge and saw that 10 pounds of air needed to be eliminated. No more alerts!”
Child’s play to read
“Easy to read, day or night,” reports another happy customer. “Nice neat little gauge. It has metric readings to SAE for air in your tires or other things you need to fill. Has a great little blue light or background so you can read it during the day or at night for those tough times when you’re trying to get air in your tire at the gas station and you can’t read it with the map gauge.”
Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy
A grateful critic felt this gauge was “as accurate as my $90 Motion Pro 08-0684 digital gauge; they read exactly the same at 14% of the cost. This proves that tire pressure gauges don’t have to cost a fortune to be precise… Digital is definitely better than analog bourdon tube mechanisms Incorrect tire pressure results in premature tire wear, degrades ride quality, can increase fuel costs and cause long term suspension damage. To me, anything over a 1.5 lb reading error is a big deal and unacceptable. I recommend this gauge.”

A delighted cyclist wrote: “I use it for my bike because it is more accurate for weighing, easy to connect, light and lights up for easy reading.”
Another buyer is grateful to be self-sufficient: “Love it!…So nice not having had someone check my tire pressure! I can’t read these things at the gas station. And my bike is now a joy to ride with the correct tire pressure!”
