 Fantastic, "heavy-duty" gauge May 22, 2010
This gauge is sturdy and appears like it will hold up well for many, many years of use. Solid construction. One feature that is really nice is that it maintains the measured tire pressure reading until you "clear" it with the button near the dial. Very handy. I highly recommend this gauge over less reliable digital pressure gauges etc.

 Reads 2.5 psi High, Consistent Readings, Easy To Use Apr 25, 2010
The main judge of a tire psi gauge is accuracy and this one reads 2.5 psi high at 44 psi. Any good tire gauge should be within 1.0 psi. I am giving it 2 stars (instead of 1 star) because it gives VERY consistent readings and is quite easy to use with a range of 10-160 psi.
I went to Costco yesterday and they filled my front tires with Nitrogen. This Costco has a brand new device that measures the nitrogen put into the tire electronically; the tech sets the pressure desired and it turns off when the psi pressure chosen is reached in that tire. I was parked outside the bay doors and took readings the moment the tires were done being filled. My VERY old Acme tire pencil gauge read 0.5 psi less than Costco's electronic machine psi setting of 44 psi. This Neiko Tools Heavy Duty Tire gauge, model #20706A, read 2.5 psi HIGHer than the Costco machine.
The 2.5 psi high reading will vary depending on if it is used on a tire requiring a much lower (10 psi) or higher (120 psi) amount of air. I just tested it on a snowblower's tire. The Acme pencil gauge measured about 17.1 - 17.3, while this Neiko measured 18.0; this means the error of the Neiko gauge increases with the psi required in the tire. At a desired 120 psi for a tire, the Neiko could be reading 6 - 8 psi high; I just don't know.
I like this gauge's ability to let air out of the tire when the gauge is on the tire valve stem by pressing a small brass button on the tool. Sometimes, the gauge's psi reading drops to zero when I remove the gauge from the tire stem and other times it retains the psi reading when removed from the tire stem until the brass button is pressed - not a big deal to me.

Good product Feb 06, 2010
Bought this for my parents' 40 foot motorhome. They needed the high pressure gauge and the dual head for the double side by side tires. A standard gauge would not work for either of these needs. So far, they are happy with it and have no complaints.

Works great Jan 27, 2010
Gauge works great. Long metal tube lets you quickly check pressure without fiddling with the hose like other gauges. Some reviewers complain about the smell, but it smells just like bicycle inner-tube rubber and isn't that bad - if people can't stand it then they should just put it in a Ziploc bag.
