 over 10 years old and still accurate - time after time. November 12, 2008
I've probably had this even longer (3+ cars worth)but want to be conservative. I live near the beach and 3-4 times a week I'm deflating all 4 tires down to 15 pounds spring through fall, and later in the day re inflating them all. Thus I need a highly accurate, reliable gauge. This is the best one I've ever had. The battery still seems strong; readings are instant and easy to read. Only complaint is I wish it had a nub to push on the valve stem with to release a small burst of air, but I use dedicated deflaters so it's not a real issue for me.
What it lacks in ergonomics, it makes up for in performance November 9, 2008
Fast, accurate, and precise are how I would describe this gauge. For those who don't know, precision is a metric of how well separate readings agree with each other. I've had problems with other gauges, where it was hard to get a reproducible reading. Not so with the Accutire.
The only improvement that could be made would be to make a more ergonomic grip. I don't think the design really makes sense given how the human hand would be holding it - but it's a very minor issue.
Get this! And make sure your tires are always inflated to their designated values (test while cold). You will get more even tread wear, performance, and mileage.
Very Good Product October 2, 2008
I purchased this digital tyre gauge from Amazon just over a week ago.
It works fine and I have had no problems with it so far
The reading is very visible in the dark
I have no hesitation in recommending this digital gauge to any one
out there .

Top rated by a CR Mag and by me.
Good for my high presure pedle bike and my Harley.
I had a few others over the years, dial gauge and slide type.
This is by far the best. With a light and holds the presure after you remove it. I had one before that lasted about 10 years or more used it alot, I mean a lot and it broke at the input end. Had to get another and it is improved with a light. No need for a battery it has one built in that will last another. Kind of tricky to get at my custom Harly wheels but I put the bike on a jack up to 4' high anyway.
 Accurate but not durable September 19, 2008
I found the tire gauge readings to be accurate, and initially this meter was easy to use and quick to take a measurement.
However, within 5 months, the plastic part of the gauge that you put onto your tire had deformed to the point that it would no longer take a reading from a tire. I do not work at a mechanical shop, and I have one car and I had taken a reading about once a week for 4-5 months.
I would not recommend this product.
