Worth the money (2010-07-23) Rating: 4/5
The most enjoyable aspect of this product has been reading some of the reviews. As previous reviewers have pointed out, some of our fellow reviewers failed to remove the sticker with the 28.5 reading and mistakenly thought the product was broken. The value of this gift went up considerably with the amount of laughs we got with giving it and using it. Of course I stuck the 28.5 sticker back on the screen to see if my Mom would notice when I insisted she test it in our driveway. Thankfully she did. I purchased this for my sister as part of a car safety kit that I put together for her and it works just fine. Upon receipt I tested it for accuracy with my older electronic gauge in addition to my manual gauge and it's very accurate. It has a good grip and the angled design allows the thumb to place adequate pressure behind the gauge screen to get a good seal and an accurate reading. I will grant that it's been 6-7 months since the unit was purchased, so this review does not take into consideration the product's battery life other than to say that it's still working after 2-3 months. If the thing dies and I consider it to be premature then I'll return and add to this review.
Please ignore the 5-star reviews... this gauge eats batteries @ $5-a-pop (2010-07-23) Rating: 2/5
Save your money for a better gauge - there's a reason this flawed gauge is so cheap. The tire gauge works fine, but it eats batteries. I purchased the unit 6 months ago, have used it 4 or 5 times, and when I went to use it this morning, it briefly flashed 'LL' on the display and then went dead - it needed new batteries. The unit requires 3 watch batteries, which would cost $5+ to replace, almost as much as the initial price of the unit. I'm just going to toss this unit, rather than sweat replacing watch batteries every 6 months.
The 5-star reviewers on this page clearly were a bit hasty in giving their reviews - especially the gentleman who was patting himself on the back for having figured out that he needed to remove the protective sticker from the display.
Not bad. (2010-07-15) Rating: 3/5
Very accurate. Easy to use. After a year of using it, the plastic tip broke off and pressure was used to read accurately. Overall good while it lasted.
Great (2010-06-20) Rating: 5/5
This gauge is insanely easy to use. Had it for over a year now, use it every week (me and my workmates)on our bicyles and it's still on the original batteries. It's accurate, easy to read and perfect for the job.
Jerry's Accutire MS-4021B Standard Digital Tire Gauge Review (2010-06-18) Rating: 4/5
Easy to use. Makes a good seal with the valve stem. Display can be a little difficult to read, depending on lighting conditions. Accurate.
