Tire Pressure Guage

Walked into Radio Shack today and saw this.

Looks pretty decent. Thinking about buying one.

Any thoughts?

I really like this gauge from Sporty's with a little button that lets you adjust the air pressure without removing the gauge. VERY handy feature that lets you easily dial in the EXACT pressure you want. I got mine soon after buying the '91 Miata and have used it ever since.

I can speak to both of them. I have the one Jedi showed, and it works well. But I prefer the one Nubo showed. At the track a number of people had them, and it's great to make minute adjustments to your tire pressure after a run. Or, since tire pressure should be measured cold, and we all DRIVE to the gas station to get air, you can overfill by a few pounds, then check your tires later when they're cold and do the fine adjustment.

I've been using the same dial guage for well over a decade since my brother gave me one. I think he originally got it thru The Sharper Image. I now have three of them for my cars and it works great. The first one my brother had didn't have the hose and wasn't as convenient to use. The hose on the guage makes it very easy to put on any tire valve and put the guage at a good reading angle, especially in low-light conditions. I espcially like that it DOESN'T use batteries and will last you years.
