Accu Gauge at Advance Auto Parts

[HaulinAshe]

A couple weeks ago, I remember (SlapNPop I think) posting about reading the wrong air pressure scale/range. At that time, it seemed like a well-known issue to me. But apparently, it has been enough of an issue in the USA that Advance Auto Parts is now carrying a digital tire pressure gauge, under the brand name of Accu Gauge, that is labeled with a big "PSI" on the front. It doesn't do any other scale.

So run get you one. I bought two and am throwing away my Slime and Monkey Grip digitals that can so easily be misread.

I just bought a new gauge myself...

I had that same PSI one, and another different digital gauge that both read wrong. Everybody I met at the track swore by their analog one:

So mines on the way.(liquid filled)

I do want the digital one for road trips though.

Is it This One?

I need to toss my Slime gauge, too.

Nope, Advance Auto web site does not list it (yet). Looks just like the Monkey Grip digital, but reddish-brown in color (I think, partially colorblind), and has PSI printed large on the face.

$12.98

Those little straight valve stems are such a pain to get to that I have to force myself to do it. 90 degree stems are definitely a must with the first tire change.

Twasn't me, Dial gauges on the bike and in both cars. I think you're referring to this topic, maybe? :dntknw:

Thanks for thinking about me though!

Yep, you're right. It was CDog. Old Timers Disease.

To do they indicate any accuracy specifications on the packaging?

They were loose, on the counter, in bins. No packaging, just a price tag. I have compared it to my other three gauges and in the 40 psi range, it's dead-on.
