review of the Accutire MS-4021B tire gauge |
|
I've only had the opportunity to use it once and can't comment on it's accuracy because I have no way of knowing. It's easy to use and the readout is bright. |

Hard to get a good seal |
|
This device is disappointing. The 1st time I tried it, I couldn't get a reading other than 0.00. I was ready to give up on it, but I tried again a few days later. I was able to get a reading but it took multiple attempts per tire. I must have lost a few pounds of air pressure from each tire since it was so difficult to get a tight seal. I wanted to send it back to Autopartseek but according to the invoice they will only take it back within 30 days and I had waited too long to test out this device. |

Looks good! |

This will get a workout on the truck, hauler, and toys. Hope it works as well as it looks and feels. Seems to be of high quality. Quick shipping, good packaging. |

Useless |

This tire pressure guage is not accurate at all and it leaks air everywhere. I kept getting a different reading every time. No matter how hard I pushed and how I positioned the guage it was impossible to stop leaks from the valve. I took a flashlight and looked inside the tip of the tire pressure guage. There is no washer/gasket at all where it's supposed to make contact with the tire valve! No wonder it leaks air. I ended up going to the local auto suply store and picked up one of those old fashioned tire guages. It works like a charm. Save yourself money and don't get this piece of garbage. |

Reliable and accurate, but with one fatal flaw |
I've owned two versions of this gauge: An LCD version that I bought 7 or 8 years ago, and the more recent LED type. Aside from the display technology, they looked identical.
They were both accurate and reliable, but they both also had very poor sealing against the tire valve. The rubber ring that seals against the valve is too hard and uneven. You have to line the gauge up very precisely, and press very hard to avoid a burst of air escaping from the tire. If you don't get a good seal, the reading can be off, and a couple of bursts of air is enough to drop a tire by 1 psi. Every time I checked my tires, this happened on at least one or two of them. It's bad enough that I got into the habit of overfilling the tires by a couple of psi so that when this happened I would not end up below the desired pressure.
I finally got tired of it and bought a $26.00 gauge at Sears that seems to be just as accurate and does not have this problem. |
