Ownership verified by DX Does the job

Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar

Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros: - very cheap
- incredibly fast - takes less than a second for a measurement
- has a tire thread depth gauge
- accurate enough to see whether the tires need to be filled

Cons: - build quality is bad: the first one I got apparently had a short and the battery (not replaceable) got empty before I got it. The soldering inside was done just awfully bad. Although the case won't break that easily, the plastic used is the cheapest one possible

Other Thoughts: - I think it would be better if they traded the thread depth gague (works well and can be used to measure the depth of all other types of holes and groves, however I haven't used it once) and belt clip (who would want to have this clipped to their belt anyway?) for a little better quality...

Bottomline: Recommended due to low price. Build quality is terribe, but it works (well, at least when you get one that works)

Ownership verified by DX Great measuring gadget, so-so pressure gauge.

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.

Ownership verified by DX Great!

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.

Ownership verified by DX Looks very good

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

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.
