Keychain Digital Gauge in black with larger display
Customer Review :
Works Like A Charm
I've always had trouble getting a good reading with manual tire gauges. This one is easy to use, and the display is big enough to read even while juggling the air hose, a handful of quarters, and the valve cap.
Rating :     
Works well as advertised
Like the title says, works well as advertised. Cheap price and quite small, it's got a special spot in my glove compartment. The digital meter thing is easy to read in daylight. Also, it'll take a bit of practice but to keep air from flowing out the tire, it's gotta be put on a certain way--straight so it can be accurate. Hope you found this review helpful!

Okay, but not great
The price was right so I bought a few of these. I do not find them very easy to use. They have to be perfectly lined up to get a reading and not let air out of the tire. The display is not that readable either. At the price, they are okay, but not great.

Nothing Fancy. . . It Just Works
I've owned this item for a few months now, and used it several times, all without a problem. There's nothing "fancy" about it, which I like. It's a straightforward tire gauge. I've been very happy with my purchase.

A must have for everyone.
I have a small compressor at home, and it has a built in pressure gauge that I used to believe. I got this, and realized that the pressure gauge in it was off by up to 5 PSI, which makes a huge difference.
Pros: Tiny, Light Weight, Accurate, Inexpensive
Cons: As other reviewers said, you need to put this onto the valve straight on, and press hard. Otherwise, air leaks out. I over-inflate the tires, and then use this to let some air out until I get to the correct pressure.
Overall: I have used this for over three months, on all of our families cars. I have never fully deflated a tire with this, and it has never taken me more than three tries on a valve to get it to seal. For the price I think it is worth it, and I would definitively buy it again.

Just as advertised
The item arrived on time and was not only what I wanted but was "as advertised." I could ask for nothing more!

What A Piece Of Junk!
I may have used this thing 2 to 3 times at best since I bought it back in May 2008 and the inside of the seal has already ripped up so that I cannot even get it to attach to the tire valve. Can I say 'Rip Off'? Look elsewhere and pass this one up!

Too Noisy!!
It's way Too Noisy!!!
It makes a 86 dbl noise, which means it WILL damage your hearing!!
This is the only bad thing about this pump! Otherwise it's GREAT!

It works very well
I got this compressor like a year ago. I agonized deciding between this cheap option and other fancier, more expensive compressors. Boy, did I make the right decision. It works perfectly well. I keep my SUV tires in perfect shape. It does the work. The only tiny caveat: make sure you have a proper tire gauge. The gauge incorporated in this compressor goes into the 100's, so it is impossible to read the difference between, say, 28 psi and 32 psi.

Did the job
I bought this because I have a chronic slow leak on one tire. I was leary about this item since it was so cheap, but I uesed it after being away from home for 2 weeks and the tire was very low. It took about 8 minutes but the tire got up to pressure. The pressure gauge is a nice feature so you know when to turn it off. Let's see how it holds up over time. Seems kind of flimsy.

Moroso 89590 Tire Pressure Gauge Cover
Price : $7.29 $6.94

Customer Rating :     |

Customer Review :
Quality cover
Gauge seems very beefy and made of quality material. It fits well. It should last a long time.
Rating :   
Protect your gauge and look professional
This gauge cover should come on every Moroso pressure gauge. Yeah, $5 is a little steep for a piece of rubber, but it will make your gauge last longer and keep it looking nice. Oh...and you don't need to disassemble the gauge to put the cover on as the instructions say. The hole in the gauge cover will stretch and go over the air chuck and bleeder valve no problem. No silicone lube is needed either. It took about 30 seconds to put this on the gauge.
Rating :     
Better looks and grip
The guage has a cheap look and feel without the cover, I agree it should come with the gauge, but since it does not the best thing to do it purchase it. Each time you grab the gauge you will appreciate the cover and it does help protect it as well.
Rating :     
Functional guage protector.
It appears as though this cover will supply adequate protection. It was not difficult to install.
Rating :    
Guage cover
This is essential I think for the air gauge, but should be included with the gauge.

Customer Review :
Compact-great for motorcylists
This is a very compact and powerful inflator. My only complaint would be that the cords could be a little longer. Otherwise, you can't beat the size and power. I ended up giving it to my father when he saw it and need to order another.
Rating :    
Small size - decent to use in emergencies
Small, compact size and easy to keep in my saddlebag of my motorcycle to use in an emergency. Comes in a nice case with all connections needed to connect to either 12 cigarette lighter or directly to 12 volt battery (same 12 volt connection to my battery as the Battery Tender Jr). I would not recommend it to use to pump anything bigger than a motorcycle tire as the device gets a little warm after a few minutes; but good in emergencies.

Tire Inflator
This is the most compact tire inflator I've found, that appears to meet my needs. I've not had to inflate a flat tire, but refilling partially inflated tires has been exceptional.
Rating :     
Great emergency pump
Motorcycle Consumer News rated this unit very highly. It is intended to be used for emergencies on the side of the road. It IS NOT intended to be a pump to use everyday for inflating tires. I would recommend that it be used exclusively for motorcycles and bicycles.
Rating :     
Great little compressor for motorcycle.
Small package setup is perfect for motorcycle touring. Plenty of power source connectors. Highly recommend.

Customer Review :
Best Tire Guage I have ever used
Yes, it is a little (ok a lot) pricey but this thing really makes inflating tires accurate and easy. Just over inflate slightly and then use the bleeder valve to bring the tire down to the proper inflation.
I am very pleased.

Easy to use, reproducible readings, good storage bag
An excellent product whose value goes up with each increase in the price of fuel. Releasing air using the button is slow. If you get in the habit of checking your tires once a month, this little device can save you significant money.

Its Ok
Accutire makes accurate gauges, that I know, but my gauge does not seal properly, loses air and the inflexible hose makes it difficult to take pressures, and you really have to press down on the valve to get a good reading. Its ok, but a lot of trouble for something that should work flawlessly since it really is only a tire gauge.
Rating :   
Perfect!
After reading the other reviews here on Amazon I was a little apprehensive. It did appear that the more negative reviews were the older ones. The company that makes the gauge itself has also switched hands so I took a chance.
The gauge is fast and accurate. You have both a digital readout and a bar readout around the circumference that is reminiscent of an analog gauge. The digital readout gives you a reading to a tenth of a pound and is MUCH larger and easier to read than the bar around the outside edge. The readout changes on the fly even while bleeding air. The hose is very soft and flexible. The connection on the end is awesome. The seal is great. Not ONCE have I bleed air unintentionally while trying to make a seal. The clip is solid. You can clip it on to the stem and let go and it holds on tight. The blue backlighting is bright and even.
I have no idea why you would want to clip it on and monitor the pressure for more than a second but you can if you like. The hose also remains pressurized after you disconnect it from the tire. This permits you to stare at the reading for up to one full minute. You can tap the bleed valve to reset the gauge or just plug it into the next tire and the pressure equalizes with the tire to give you the new reading. You do not have to hit a reset button (The reset button picture in the product image is now just the ON button. There is no reset button). The only time you have to press the bleed valve to get a reading is if you leave pressure in the hose and let the device go into standby while still pressurized. When you turn it on with pressure in the hose the display reads "BL" prompting you to press the bleed valve before taking a reading.
The bleed valve button is easily usable while holding the gauge in the left hand. It does not bleed air terribly fast but you are apparently considering the purchase of a tire pressure gauge with a decimal point; you are obviously are O-C-D enough to want to do it right. Of course the readout is not accurate while it is bleeding. Is an analog gauge? No. You have to let the bleed valve close to get an accurate reading.
The flexible hose is a blessing and a nuisance. It's great because it allows you hold the gauge comfortably and easily see the readout when the tire stem is in an awkward position. On the downside it means you have to use two hands to take a reading. My old gauge was a little one piece analog number that allowed me to press it to the tire stem while holding the compressor hose in the other. On the whole the benefit outweighs the disadvantage for me.
The gauge is larger than I expected. Including the rubber grip/padding around the outside it is about 2 and 5/8 inches across and 1 and 3/8 inches deep. I'm a six foot tall guy and it fits very comfortably in my hand. It may be too large to hold solidly if you have small hands. The hose is 12 inches long which sounds unnecessary but it's actually just right.
Lastly... It's an LCD display. This means that it's polarized. It is viewable from all normal angles. It is not visible when viewing from a steep angle above or from very steep angles on the sides or from below. You can't see it if you're wearing polarized sunglasses. It's far from a problem. You will not have trouble reading the display under any normal circumstances.
Final thoughts: It's a quality product. Buy it.
