Pros: - The measurements are pretty precise.- Tire pressure is generally within a 10% error margin compared to the gas station checker.- Really useful if you are able to calibrate tire pressure at home.
Cons: - Build quality is terrible. It looks like a cheap plastic toy, and not like a tool.- Pressure measurements sometime take a big while to finish, and you're losing air while doing it.
Other Thoughts: - If it wasn't silver, it would probably look less cheap. The paint used is terrible.
Bottomline: Well, there are probably better options, but it does work.
Pros: Digital gauge measures in PSI and Bar. The treadwear metering works also to measure other small objects and it is quite accurate. Very easy to operate. User manual in understandable English, which is rather rare on Chinese products.
Cons: Looks cheap. For the price (5 dollars) the finishing could be a little better.
Other Thoughts: The treadwear measurement works only in milimeters, in countries where we use metrical units (such as here in Brazil) it is not a problem, however, it could pose some problems for people in countries which use Imperial units.
Bottomline: It replaced my previous mechanical pressure gauge. I intend to buy another one to leave on my motorcycle. If you need one of these devices, it will do what it is supposed to do.
Pros: Good packing.Measures pressure both in bars and PSIs.Has belt clip.Assembled with screws, so the battery cover will not be detached when dropped.
Cons: Not intuitive interface.Case is painted => will rub off.Painted not neatly.The instruction manual is too long and typed in very small type.
Other Thoughts: Sometimes it needs less than a second to measure the pressure and sometimes it takes ten seconds. I think, the user of this gadget needs some practice.
Bottomline: The two most needed everyday features for a car owner in a neat package.
Pros: If you've ever seen the price of digital tire pressure gauges, you instantly know this is a good deal, not to mention the depth checker. It has nice little audible beeps when you turn it on, and when it's finished checking pressure, The screen is easy to read.
Cons: The depth checker has proven kind of useless to me, maybe because I don't even know what the depth is SUPPOSED to be, but it does work.It feels cheap for an automotive tool, I'm afraid to drop it, but it doesn't feel like it's going to just crumble in my hands.Sometimes, due to the positioning of the slider etc., while I am trying to check pressure, I will accidentaly switch to the depth mode and it's frustrating when it's freezing out, and you're bent over a tire fighting with your tire dealie.One thing I wish it had is a backlight, because without a flashlight, it's useless in the dark.
Other Thoughts: I assume they are using the same technology used in digital calipers, to measure tire depth, very interesting little feature. I have tried to brainstorm alternate uses for that little measuring rod, but have yet to :-\
Bottomline: For $5, just buy a couple, toss them in every car you see, and just hope that you don't drop it on it's little cheap plastic head.
