Joes Racing 32307 (0-60) PSI Tire Pressure Gauge

I spent a whole lot of time researching this gauge because I am a stickler for accuracy when it comes to checking the air pressure in my tires. Proper inflation, along with rotating your tires and keeping your vehicles properly aligned are the keys to long tread life. Underinflation is the most common cause of premature wear resulting in the need to replace worn tires much sooner than expected AND you can't tell if your tires are underinflated by merely looking at them! I have found this gauge to be extremely accurate when I compared it to the $400.00 precision gauge used at my local repair shop. This guage is highly rated for good reason. The dial is quite large and the poundage scale is very easy to read. The attached hose is flexible and long enough to allow you to read the pressure without having to get on your knees regardless of where the valve stem is positioned . Another great feature not found on most gauges is the ribbed rubber guard that incases the dial. There's no need to buy a separate protective cover like other high-end gauges reccommend. In my opinion, the lack of a "HOLD" button is a minor issue. The "BLEED" button is all that is necessary to adjust the pressure when you have overinflated your tires. (There are other precision gauges on the market that can hold their reading, but they cost almost twice as much as this one!) The build quality of this gauge is excellent and should provide years of dependable service. Unless you drop it or measure pressures over 60 psi. Therefore. . .If the temporary spare tire in your trunk has more than 60 psi in it, do not use this gauge to check it! The 0 to 60 psi range of this gauge is perfect for most auto and truck tire applications but the gauge will be ruined if it is overpressurized and this will void the warranty. Buy a cheap pencil gauge with a 0 to 100 psi scale for checking your spare tire. If the pressure is off by a few pounds, it's not that critical!

Easy to use and read. Also very easy to release air for fine tuning of air pressures. Sturdy with the rubberized cover over the gauge. I bought one many years ago for trackdays and my dad loved it so I got him one. This spiraled in my brother and my best friend liking them too. All in all, I've purchased about 4 of these and they all work great. Thw oldest one (mine) is probably 5yrs old now. All of them read within +/- 1-2 psi of the tpms sensors in each car. Not very scientific but this hopefully indicates decent accuracy. If you're a professional racer, this is not a certified calibrated gauge by any means. But for everybody else this will be the nicest tire pressure gauge you ever need or want.

To say I'm pretty picky about my tools is an understatement, so I don't give this tire pressure gauge 5 stars lightly.Recently, the little digital tire pressure gauge, that I had been using around the garage, bit the dust. So, I started searching on-line for a replacement, but didn't have much luck. Originally, I was hoping to find a digital pressure gauge that was accurate to .1 PSI, but I quickly realized I would have to spend north of $100.Additionally, I needed a tire pressure gauge that would work not only for cars, but also for my motorcycle (which has very limited room around the valve stem due to the large front brake rotors). Trying to maintain a good seal on the valve stem of the bike - especially while pushing a lot of buttons - is a real hassle.So, after not having much luck locating a reasonably priced digital gauge (which would also work on the motorcycle), I ended up searching for mechanical gauges. The Joe's Racing gauge had very good ratings on amazon and so I figured I'd take a chance on it - I'm glad I did.Here are the highlights:1. The construction of the gauge is very nice. It has a nice rubber sleeve around the gauge, which gives it a nice look and feel, as well as very good protection when you set it down on the garage floor, etc. The gauge is large and the distance between the divisions is large enough so that you can estimate down to 1/4 of a PSI without much difficulty.2. The hose is nice, although it's not quite the quality of like commercial air compressor hose or anything. It's more like large automotive fuel hose. On the gauge end, the hose is tightly attached, but you can still twist the gauge a little bit (which is nice, especially if you need to turn the gauge relative to the natural twist in the hose).3. On the fitting end of the hose (where the air chuck is), the fitting spins, which is handy. The gauge comes with two fittings. The brass threads at the end of the hose are very good quality. The smaller air chuck is cast, but it's still nice quality also. Note: removing the fitting that comes attached to the hose (to switch to the other chuck) is a little difficult, since the threads are sealed with a liquid type compound that has dried.4. In my case, I removed the factory fittings that came with the gauge and installed my own double head wand type air chuck - this extends the reach slightly and also gives you much better control on the valve stems of cars, as well as easy reach for checking motorcycle tire pressures. I used teflon tape to seal the threads and had no problem.5. Using the gauge is really nice. You simply inflate the tire a bit beyond where you want, then hold the gauge on the valve stem; the gauge has a button up near the dial, which allows you to quickly bleed air off (while still holding the air chuck on the valve stem). 3 or 4 quick presses will drop the PSI by a pound or more. As mentioned (due to the distance between the marks on the gauge), it's easy to set the pressure dead on or to the nearest .25 PSI or so. When you remove the gauge from the valve stem, it goes back to zero.6. Construction is very good from start to finish. Even if I had paid twice the $23.99 price, I still think I would have been pretty happy with the results.7. I recently tested this gauge against a digital tire pressure gauge that my friend had and the gauge was right on the money as far as its pressure readings. As mentioned in the instructions that come with the gauge, the gauge is very accurate and should not be dropped, nor run over the 60 PSI max.This is a very good quality gauge and it functions really well and is very easy to use. Taking tire pressure readings is very quick and easy now. The bleed off valve is really nice also and allows you to quickly reduce down the pressure to the desired setting.This is a top quality little gauge for the money. After receiving this gauge, I seriously doubt that I'll ever go back to using a digital gauge again. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for a very nice quality tire pressure gauge.

I wanted an easy-to-use, but accurate tire gauge and Joe's Racing delivered exactly what I wanted. The large, legible face, rubberized surround for easy gripping, bleed valve for easy downward adjustment of pressure, and tight-sealing chuck made for simple, quick measurements. This unit works better than other more expensive digital gauges I've used in the past. The glow-in-the-dark face, too, may come in handy for some future need.

Great tire gauge. Bought it to throw in my motorcycle saddle bags to check the pressure as required.Durable product, easy to read dial. Has an inline air release valve to remove excess air from the tire to achieve the exact pressure you'd like.Needle does not stay at the pressure as advertised, you must hold the nozzle on the tire to get an accurate reading.Comes with an adapter for hard-to-reach-valves. Haven't used it yet but looks like a good adapter.Back of display has a luminescent property to make it more visible in the dark. Needs to be "charged" for a few seconds in bright light before it will work.Overall, great device. If you need a higher/lower range there are other gauges from Joes Racing that will go higher/lower as required.
