Pros & Cons
Pros
The accutire is small enough to fit in your glove box or the center console. It comes with a case and easily fits in the glove box. Just like a revo sunglasses case.
This digital tire gauge appears to be very accurate and repeatable. With the old stick-type gauge, you have to ponder, is that 33 psi or 32?
Size of the accutire allows you to hold it more firmly and position it more securely on the valve stem. However, the gauges are very consistant relative to each other.
The backlit display is nice and bright and easy to read. I like the fact that the reading will stay displayed for several seconds after it's removed from the tire stem. The display is east to read which is nice.
Cons
Tire gage is not only the worst tire gage i have ever bought but it is the worst tool i had ever bought. Rubber gasket fell right out! It too, willnot make a airtight seal with the valve stem. Although now useless, the guage looks so nice i still have... Read More
For warranty battery changes (if < 5 yrs) the manufacturer simply resets the factory calibration after swapping the battery. Replacing the button cells did not correct the problem.
Highlights
Quality
The quality of the accutire's head is far superior to the head of the stick-type gauges (.
To most of those ends, this product works very well.
I've had this for over ten years with the original batteries.
Clearly, not a problem with the accutire; the digital display tells you immediately.
Price
It didnt cost a fortune, and it does serve it's purpose.
Competitiveness
Mine is at least 10 years old and is still working like a champ.
What's more the middle section is little more than an alluminum sleve.
Harder to use than a traditional tire gauge.
