This is fortunate timing for this video. I went to use my tire inflator/gauge today and realized my wife had run it over (ok, it was me). I was actually looking on Amazon and wondering why most of them for sale go up to 250psi! I haven't had any issues with digital ones, but I keep my garage warm all year round. I just ordered this one though, should be here on Monday.
Yep, smaller scale means larger markings, means easier to adjust pressures more accurately👍 I think its worth mentioning the alternative witch is adjusting the compressor regulator to the desired pressure and let it run. Thanks for showing Steve, take care 🍻
Being part of the last of the truly analog generation I can totally see the value of an analog gauge. The new one looks very well made Steve. It’s all about the brass! Thanks Buddy!
My Company takes Businesses from analog to digital! My Grandpa had a lot of digital gauges. I wish I could have learned more from him, you would have loved him Steve. Good one Steve! Get that air pressure right!
Steve, I have that same gauge. I'd buy it again. Had it about 20 months. Unfortunately, I wasn't happy with the chuck failing to lock onto the valve stems and leaking . Usually ended up holding it on the valve stem with my other hand. I recently upgraded to a HALTEC Model H-5265 chuck; I saw it recommended at the Site of Sixtyfiveford. It clamps on there real well, and I have not had a problem hooking it on to my tires. It's larger though and I suspect it may not fit all the time. I looked at my neighbor's F-150 and the stem is short and doesn't protrude far through the hubcap. We'll see. Thanks for the valuable info.
Good day eh!!! That's a nice gauge Steve!! I like that the scale tops out at 100 PSI. Having a gauge the leaks when you clip it on the valve stem is a royal pain. This one looks like it will seal well and last for a long time!!! Thanks for the review and take care!!!
Great video. About two years I was looking for a tire inflator. I was so close to buying a digital one but I kept thinking of dead batteries.... and when do you realize the batteries are dead? When you need it the most lol. I decided to keep it simple and picked up analog one from harbor freight and it's been going strong for 2 years or maybe longer lol, I can't remember. High humidity is also a problem I have , it's why my sockets rust sitting in my tool box so yes I've also seen batteries compartments on small devices just completely corroded like you mentioned. I really like your new one and I agree that all we need is a PSI reading and not a gauge that reads up to 5000 psi 🤣 . Once mine dies or has an unfortunate 😏accident I'll be looking into the unit you have 👍
for these types of application its better to use non disposable batteries like nickel or lithium batteries so small draw does not cause leak. digital gauge need extra care but the reading is much more accurate.
Your batteries leaked/corroded because you used Alkaline batteries. NiMH rechargeable Eneloop batteries don't tend to leak. Nor do the non-rechargeable Energizer lithium batteries (which, additionally, last longer and have a wider operational temperature range: -40ºF to 140ºF). And, unlike rechargeable lithium ion batteries, they don't spontaneously cause fires. I'd use the Energizer lithiums for an application like a tire gauge, which will set on the shelf for a long time, in varying temperatures.
Learn to change the batteries in the digital air gage every spring and you won’t have to worry about the lamination lifting up. No squinting to see which dot it’s on. I’ve had the analog type. They don’t last. I’ll stick with digital.
Well of course you use a cheap set of alkaline battery in conditions like that and expect it go forever, they will leak and get fuzzy. Get a good lithium battery, pull the cover off every now and then and you should have no problems. I have a outdoor temperature sensor that has been through extreme conditions with a lithium battery, far worse than in a heated garage. It has been about a year now, still going no problems yet. Bye the way I like your analog tire pressure gauge, nice and simple
Great video Steve, I’m going to have to look at purchasing one of those as it seems like a good unit - For a long time I’ve used an air hose and checked with a gauge - an all in one device like this is an upgrade I deserve lol - wondering if moisture in the air caused that older units dial to warp? Thanks guy, have a great day, cheers
Thanks Ed Not sure what happened to the needle on the old one but the new one is a step above . I like the ability to deflate air so easily as well . This one is a keeper 👍
Hi Jim Finding quality tools is tought but even harder to find good quality techs today that knows how to use good tools . Your one of the last generation of techs out there that can do quality work with any grade of tools . Cheers bud 👍
I have seen them priced from $2 - $15 so how accurate are they depends on verified use and of course are the 2 dollar ones just as accurate , id say show me first :)
I'd like to have a way to calibrate them. I do have a checker that is digital but otherwise Im not into the digital ones. Even if the batteries doesnt leak its still batteries that needs changing or charging(in other word service that are too costly when it comes to time) and it is just another thing that can fail when you need it the most or are in a pinch.
Nice find, Steve! Please do not place that new gauge under your pillow at night! I don't think glowing eyes will do anything for you with the girls! Have a great day!
Giant fungus eh? So many digital things will get that fungus disease and go to waste. Contributing to wasting our planet I guess. I do have the digital pressure by itself. Then I use the typical (pencil style) tire inflator. Whenever I want to upgrade, I'll go for the model you shown. Good point you made about the 250 psi range! Why the hell do they do that? That is most likely to "kill" the resolution so a "cheesy" one can still look decent. Thanks!
Nice Video, thanks, I have home inflator which has chuck brass connector, how can I connect that to this device (NPT male connector), can I ask if there is any adaptor? thanks
I want one of those....did you get a deal on that Astro.....I’m going to look for it....I had one of the princess ones and it’s not the best.....CHEERS
Good evening Steve, so sorry I feel like the cavalry ( always late 🤣👍 ) I use an normal air hose to inflate and use a air gauge ( pencil style ) 👍👌 Great looking quality new inflation 👍😉 Great informative video and tips too Sir 👌👍😉 Cheers 🍻
Well you stumbled across a channel that does not sell anything, no sponsors , just showing what works for me as I buy everything myself and use all the items I review.
Don't use alkaline batteries, use Energizer lithium batteries instead. Energizer lithium batteries don't leak like alkaline batteries do. I only use either rechargeable or lithium batteries for that reason.

Bruce this is an awesome gauge and calibrated to the tires we actually have not transport tires :)

Great point! Yes thats a good way if inflating a lot of tires. I have TPM in all my tires and I have yet got them to all read the same since new LOL
@@SteveRobReviews I so hate TPMS! They are way to sensitive, any change in temperature and they go off!
Being part of the last of the truly analog generation I can totally see the value of an analog gauge. The new one looks very well made Steve. It’s all about the brass! Thanks Buddy!
Digital is cool but my years of being cool never got me anywhere LOL Cheers Doug
My Company takes Businesses from analog to digital! My Grandpa had a lot of digital gauges. I wish I could have learned more from him, you would have loved him Steve. Good one Steve! Get that air pressure right!
Thanks Papa , sometimes the old technology is just fine and more reliable.
I am with you Steve, I try to stay away from electric tools like that. Hard to beat the dependability of a quality regular gauge
Dependable or put it under your pillow at night eh 😅😅👍

Thanks Dave , I agree as sometimes on some valve stems you do have to have it lined up straight or it will leak a bit. I will check it out 👍
I need to call my buddy that borrowed my trailer 10 years ago. I haven't seen that trailer since!
I think its his now HAHAHA
Great video! I agree about analog. You know it will work no matter how long it’s been since you last used it. Digital doesn’t always mean better.
Thanks !! Ya the digital is tempting but old school works so I'm sticking with what works for me . Cheers

Keep it simple is my go to but the digital units are so cool looking😂🤣
@@SteveRobReviews definitely. But not worth the headaches lol

I agree, my digital one stop working when it gets around freezing temps. I have both but like the analog better.
Digital is great if ya live in the desert or sleep with it under your pillow 😅😅 Take Care bud 👍

Nice Thanks Steve for the heads up, I’m going to get one 👍
For the money its about the best one I have seen so far. Cheers Joe
Be here Tomorrow 22 dollars Amazon Looks about the same
Thanks
i love your video thanks for give your long time experience to me learn
Great Review And Thanks For Sharing My Friend! I have a one without the handle. Fits in my saddle bag easier.
Thanks Rex !!!
PAPA makes a lot of money taking companies go from analog to digital! All I know is my gauge says my Window Cleaner needs Water!
Well digital is great for many applications but for looking at my tire pressure is one place analog works well and at half the price LOL
The pen type was reckoned to be the most accurate
I have seen them priced from $2 - $15 so how accurate are they depends on verified use and of course are the 2 dollar ones just as accurate , id say show me first :)
yes resolution. one i was considering was from 0 to 140. way too much. more is not better.
good review
Thanks, much appreciated.
Hey Steve. Another great video. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍🍻
Thanks Andy 👍
A good tire gauge is hard to find. Thanks Steve!
Thanks for taking a look . Cheers 👍
Air chuck open or closed 🤔 in other words if you pull the trigger before you hook to the valve stem will air flow out the chuck (7:37)
Yes it will.
Thanks, just bought this one off Amazon. Your vid gives me hope it is not junk lol. Taker care.
HAHAHA so far mine is still not junk .

I have not seen one you can calibrate either. Cheers
Brass can be cheesy as well, *especially* Chinesium brass.
Great Channel thanks for all the info.
Thanks Joe much appreciated 👍
Good review! Thanks💖
Thanks for watching 👍

I just canceled the 28.80 one and I applied the 2 bucks and I got it for 26.54 with tax....good deal all around
Put a dehumidifier in your garage.
They even put out some heat using it in the winter!
I'm thinking since my garage is not heated in the winter and at -25 the dehumidifier would be a solid block of ice 😉
Your right Steve. The garage temp. needs to be at least 60 degrees for it to work.@@SteveRobReviews
@@davidh.8513 👍
Yeah I got one of those digital types when they first came out, always a dead battery. I am sticking with the analog too, simple is reliable.
LOL isn't that so true , dead battery for the win 🤣 😅 I learnt the hardway too Pat .
I bought this, but it needs something to put air into this. What is that device? Any link for that ?

Thanks Dave. !!!
I got both and I can go either way
Hum , how do I respond to that 😅😅
Where do you buy that one? I'm in Ontario.
I ordered it off Amazon. Cheers Kevin 👍
You talk about how great your new tire gauge is but don't provide a link to where to buy it or what brand and model number it is.
Well you stumbled across a channel that does not sell anything, no sponsors , just showing what works for me as I buy everything myself and use all the items I review.
The brand and model number is in the title of the video.

Psi is All I need... 👍
Me too Mike !!!
Lmao lol under your pillow, i had digital ones and yep it was a fail. Thanks steve.
I'm definitely not keeping it under my pillow HAHAHA
Digital ones need to always have a fresh battery!
Yes and sleep with the instruments under your pillow to stay corrosion free :)
Why couldn’t you just replace your old gauge? Probably just as much $, eh?
I like this one much better.
Don’t use alkaline batteries. Switch to lithium or NiMH.
👍
I have 2, both are S%^t
😅😅
