KINDOY2 Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Is there a consensus of opinion on what is the best quality tire pressure gauge. I have tried so many different ones over the years, and have always tried to buy the best quality..but so far I have never been able to find one that will last more than a couple years before it becomes inaccurate and worthless....very annoying! Has someone found an accurate and dependable one they like?
docc Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 I learned about JACO from a trusted friend, SpineRaider, and expert technician. I like the analog dial, built in pressure relief valve, and angled chuck (they have other products and configurations): https://jacosuperiorproducts.com/collections/tire-pressure-gauges/products/tire-pressure-gauge-elitepro-series-100-psi 1 2
Pressureangle Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 I have a Blue-Point made by Jaco that's about ... 40? Years old now. Doesn't have the safety relief but has been reliable, accurate, and consistent across time. I did have to replace the plastic disc in the pressure release button once about 15 years ago. 1 2

Sadly, I havn't had much luck with any of the Blue-point stuff I have purchased over the past 10 years, I used to think it was very good.

I haven't had much luck with *anything* I've purchased over the past 10 years. I assume anything new is Harbor Freight, regardless of the label. The Chinese Conspiracy is pervasive. 3 1
gstallons Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Check on Motion-Pro website and see if they have anything or catch a tool truck . SnapOn , Cornwell , etc... 1 1
KINDOY2 Posted May 23, 2022 Author Posted May 23, 2022 The one that just failed me was Motion Pro..it lasted about 3 years of infrequent use. The one I had before that was Blue Point Digital..I think it held together 1.5 years.... Not like I abuse them..I don,t throw them around..I want them to last..but this last Motion pro has just decided last week to read 9-12 lbs high every time..:-(, The needle wont go back to zero anymore 1
gstallons Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 I get mine at the NAPA store , can't remember the brand or part #
