A new tire pressure gauge

[Cali rider]

After using the Accu-Gage EZ-02 for a few years, I have found that 2 of the 3 units I own have fallen far out of calibration. Although they are warranted forever (and I sent one back for repair), I looked around for something new. I found this:



Pressure, Inc. DT105 Pocket Digital Gauge
It reads in .5 PSI increments, has a 1 minute memory so you can read it after removal, and the best feature: $12.33

Consider this if you are looking for a new gauge, I am very satisfied with it.

This is the one i use, the specs sound very similar, as well as the price. also has a tread depth thingy built in that i never use (i can just look and see that a tire is worn, i don;t feel the need to confirm it) very rugged all metal housing as well

anyway, i am pleased with this one:

John, is that at most local auto stores? No problems with getting to the valve stems with it?

Thanks!!

Well, I got it through McMaster-Carr, but they have a support page for finding a local dealer. It reaches the valve stem without any problem (including the tight fit on my R1) and doesn't bleed off air as you engage the stem.

This is the guage I use. I would not actually reccomend it. It is a good design with a large display, an led light built in, and a swivel head but @ $25 it is rather expensive and the batteries seem to die quickly.

also it is only warrantied for 90 days....?


what is happening to craftsman? (damn k-mart)

Are the batteries replaceable? I have used that one that i borrowed from my buddy and it seemed to work well. but i didn;t have to pay for it nor deal with dead batteries

 

[madmanmaigret]

the batteries are replaceable and they are a common watch type but they don't last very long.

that's cool though, mine says that they are not replaceable but last over 10,000 measurements.

I am sure i will take it apart and try to replace them when they ever die. the backlight on the other hand on mine has a separate replaceable battery.

call me old fashioned but


It gets the job done! for only $.99

I think mine lasted around six months..... at one measurement a week and playing with it when I first got it I would say that it was around 50 measurements but it has an awesome backlight and you can program what pressure it is supposed to be so you don't have to go and look at the sticker in your doorjam/frame/swingarm/owners manual.

I use that old fashioned type too, but find it a bit hard to have enough room for the measuring thing to extend outwards without hitting spokes.
