Tire Gauge on Amazon 5 in 1 Tire Pressure Gauge - Safety Hammer, Flashlight, Seatbelt Cutter, Red Safety Light and Tire Pressure Gauge

The times has come for me to replace my tire pressure gauge.....not because it broke but rather with all the stuff in my SUV, I just can't find it. This McLintech 5 In 1 Tire Pressure Gauge solves 2 problems for me. Its packed with features so its big enough (but still compact) so that I can easily visually spot it in my storage space, unlike those pen type mechanical air pressure gauges. And saves space too by combining additional tools into one handy unit. Remember vehicles with the proper air pressure in the tires get:-Better gas mileage-longer tire tread life-Better handling in adverse weather conditionsWith the McLintech 5 In 1 Tire Pressure Gauge you get the tire pressure gauge and:- Backlit Digital Display. Accuracy up to 150 PSI +/- 1 PSI.- LED Flashlight and Red Safety Light- Emergency Seat Belt Cutter- Pop-out Window Hammer- Durable with a rubberized handle for Easy GripThe pressure gauge does require one AAA Battery but the CR2032 Lithium Battery for the flashlight is included

I just received the device a few days ago and have only used it on 2 cars. I actually was impressed with the manufacturing quality. It does not feel flimsy - the entire unit has a non-slip rubbery-type grip. I checked the readings with a mechanical pressure gauge as well as the digital gauge at the gas station. All three had the same reading. The added gizmos seem very well made too - though, I do not think I will ever end up in water. It was dark outside so the flashlight came in handy enough to find the fill nozzle cap for my tire that flew out of my hand and underneath the car.If given the choice, I would have rated this item 4.9 stars. One item or two items that kind of drove me crazy. I think the auto shutoff timer is a tad too short (i needed to put a lot of air in the tires). Fair enough - I can deal with it. The second, I think it would be better to hold the power button for a few seconds before you can cycle through pressure units of measure. I kept switching units unintentionally.That was slightly annoying, perhaps due to weird angles of my hand holding the device on the tire.I cannot comment on longevity of the product, but at least it was well thought out and feels like a quality product. More than I can say about many other products that I have purchased. So well done !

Verdict: A well-built, multi-functional car tool that functions as advertised.PROS::) Fast, accurate tire pressure readings in any of 4 units (I use psi):) Multi-functional and well-built - The seatbelt cutter and window "smasher" are nice features, which I hope you never need. The overall build quality is high.:) Well lit - There are two lighting options, a "torch", which is a slightly underwhelming single white LED at the head of the tool, and a "LED", which is a red LED focused near the point you'd attache the gauge to the tire valve.:) Easy on the eyes - The blue back-lit LED display makes for an easy read of your tire pressure under any lighting conditions.CONS::( You have to press pretty hard on the valve to get a reading, which also causes air to bleed from the tire. This is especially problematic if the stick in the valve is misaligned (I lost 0.5psi measuring the pressure on a faulty valve):( The window smasher is somewhat hard to open and close. I imagine this would be even more difficult in a real world setting when you needed it right away.:( Requires two different batteries, only one of which is included. You'll need to supply your own AAA battery, an older watch-style flat battery is included. When the batteries die, I have no idea other than trial/error how to tell which to replace.WRITE-UP:Having tested the pressure gauge against two separate units, the readings appear to be accurate within 0.5psi. The tool feels solid in your hand and after my 3 year old unintentionally drop tested it (twice) I can attest to its durability, not a scratch! The size of the device makes it ideal for storage in the glove compartment. I bought this because I have a faulty valve, which causes a slow leak on one of my car tires, so I expect to use this a lot. I'll amend the review after some time to update you on how it works over time.It would be nice if you didn't have to press so hard on the valve to get a reading, or that doing so wouldn't release pressure from the tire, but I understand these are issues with any digital gauge that does not screw on to the valve. Let's hope you never have to rely on the emergency tools, but it's nice to have them in one place. Let's also hope you don't need the lights on the tool as they are underpowered with the white LED being about as bright as those you'd find on a small keychain and the red LED being nearly invisible in all but darkness and mine appeared misaligned with the point of contact between the valve and the gauge tip.

I purchased this tire gauge from Amazon. It was becoming difficult to turn it on, almost hit or miss while mostly miss when the “on” switch was depressed. I notified the company with the Amazon order number. Crickets. No reply to my email. The literature that accompanied the tire gauge not not reference a warranty. Nonetheless, I emailed the company my difficulty of not being able to turn the unit on. I requested they do the right thing, despite not advertising a warranty, to keep me a happy customer. No I reply. I sent another email to the company advising them that I will write a very favorable review to their product. Crickets. No reply to this email either.

I love this tire gauge! It is so easy to use and very useful. The gauge itself is very accurate as I tested it against a few other gauges and the numbers were consistent. The size of the gauge is also great, its very light and easy to carry. It doesn't take up a whole lot of space in my console and it's super easy to use.Not to mention the added safety features it has. It has an led light on one side and a flash light on the other. I can't believe I just had a normal, boring gauge before, because this one is definitely my go to gauge now. It does the job and also gives you some much needed tools in the event of an emergency or unplanned stop. I'm so glad I bought it and am very happy and satisfied with the purchase. If anything ever happens to mine, I'm definitely buying this one again!
