Tire pressure gauges- don't let the package provide confidence in the measurements

[TacomaGuy]

Do you recall what brand of gauge won? Just curious. I don't really care for watching influencer/creator YouTube vids, else is looking it up and watch it myself. Lol. Thanks!

The most accurate gauge tested was the Jaco ElitePro Digital gauge. It sells for about $28 on Amazon.

I have found this digital tire gauge to be the easiest to use and consistently accurate. It also does a great job of aligning on the valve stem (rubber or metal) for those of us with all thumbs.

This gauge earned top marks in Consumer Reports tests.

Being OCD about tire pressures, I own over 3 dozen gauges, and if I buy a new one, and it doesn't read close to the others, I return it.
By the way, a good calibrated gauge is only about $100.

How accurate do you need to be? My $7 slime gauge is digital and reads 33.2 and my cars Tpms is reading 33. Close enough I believe. I’ve got a windshield that’ll drive me to the brink of insanity long before splitting hairs on psi.

I recently purchased an M7 digital tire inflator. It makes pumping my tires to 34psi a very quick and simple task. Also, it takes a watch battery, so there's less chance of battery leakage ruining it compared to others that use AAA batteries.

Sweet. That's exactly the gauge I bought and keep in the car. Felt weird spending that much on a tire gauge after buying so many of the cheap parts store gauges over the years. Haha

Of note, AMZN currently has that gauge at $10 off, and then a 10 percent coupon. So about $26 before taxes.

The ones I had were accurate and easy to use but a limited life, IMO

I roll with a JACO ElitePro digital 0-100psi. Has a very flexible hose about a foot, and swivels at the gauge and at the valve stem fitting. Works great for me. Even bought a branded pouch for it to sleep in (was under $5).

Never spent $30+ on a tire gauge until this one, but I got tired of fighting with gauges on our 2 cars. Also replaced the 90 degree chuck on our inflator with a straight brass one that locks onto the stem. Very nice upgrade!

JACO for the win. Love mine.
