Tire Pressure Gauge July 22, 2010 Carl Beckman Jr. (Toledo, Ohio USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Best one around, at this price. It's great that you can keep it attached to the tire and run your fill air through it. Quite a time saver. Only complaint is: I wish the hose was a few inches longer.
Works great for the price! March 29, 2010 mek_man (California) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Does everything as described! Very happy with the purchase and plan to buy another one. Only thing that was somewhat annoying was the shipping was a bit slow. Oh well. Not anything against the product. Just thought I would mention if if you need it quickly.
A very nice and handy tire gauge March 28, 2010 P. Sarris (Orange County, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered this to use in lieu of the pen-style tire gauge for my motorcycle. This one is very helpful in reaching the stem for motorcycle and car tires because of the flexible hose that is attached to it. I highly recommend this item.
I like it February 6, 2010 zd 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Overall this is a good product and much more accurate than a stick style tire gauge. My favorite part is that you can just attach this and get the pressure right easily the first time. As some other reviewer said the needle jumps a bit while filling but you can still tell the approximate pressure. If you have a mini air compressor with an on/off switch this is not really a problem.
Excellent for checking pressure, ok for monitoring tire inflation January 30, 2010 A. Pann (Minnesota, USA) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm one of those people who some times has trouble getting the alignment just right with the traditional "stick" tire gauges with the angled chuck. The EZ Air Tire Gauge makes the procedure a cinch, though -- straight in and out, with no more than a puff of air from the tire when you attach or detach it. The gauge itself seems pretty accurate and the entire assemble feels quite rugged. For use as a pressure gauge, I'm QUITE satisifed with it.
It also has a connector at the other hand that lets you inflate the tire through the gauge. It works with the air hoses you find at most gas stations as well as the screw-on connectors on, for example, the TyphoonMax TX300 portable compressor units. I haven't used this with the gas station air lines myself, but I have used it with my TyphoonMax compressor. The gauge will not give a steady reading while the compressor is on and inflating the tire. The gauge needle vibrates quickly up and down in a blur between two readings while the compressor is on, but you can still see the pressure increase looking at the lower reading of the blurred needle. You can also just switch the compressor off from time to time to check the pressure for sure. It's certainly much easier than swapping back and forth between the compressor and the gauge. The connector on the EZ gauge is probably the only real complaint I have. While it attaches and detaches easily from the tire for quick readings, the spring-loaded piece that actually holds it in place on the valve stem (when you need hands free operation, like for working the compressor hose) will some times not grip very securely and you'll have to jiggle or remove and retry it. It's never taking me more than a couple of tries to get a secure fit, though.
Finally, as a minor nit (but I feel worth noting), the gauge is oddly shaped and it may be hard finding space in, say, your glove compartment or other confined storage space. It isn't BIG, just...oddly shaped.
