Accu-gage not accurate
konata88,

Glad you're pleased. That's the same gauge as what I've had for years except mine is the previous 3.5" size. I love the dial size, the glow in the dark feature, and the easy-to-use positive bleeder trigger. It goes into whatever car we're driving. Smile

Expect to receive yearly catalogs from them too. Interesting stuff. Smile

That's what I carry in my truck. In the garage I prefer to use the Intercomp gauge, but some tires want more than 60 PSI, so for that I use a Milton "service" gauge, that is a much stouter pencil gauge. It reads up to 150 PSI, for small tires that require higher pressures.
 

I received the S-921 several days ago. Very easy to read. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the reply. I just ordered an S-921 pencil gauge – its 50 PSI range is sufficiently for my needs. Generally speaking, the smaller the range, the more accurate it is within that range, and easier to read.

Update: I've been using the Milton S-921 for awhile now, and really like it. The gauge is easy to read, and reports consistent pressure values.

Thank you for the Milton recommendation. The tires on my 5th wheel are 110psi, so I've now got three service gages on the way from Amazon. Hopefully they're not knock offs. One to keep in the truck, and one for each garage.

Wow. Reincarnated. Smile

I may pick up a Milton for the bike.
