tire pressure tool

[j_nigrelli]

could anyone recommend a dial type (not digital) tire gauge? something of quality maybe going from 0 to 100 psi?

thanks

What I have is something similar to this HF part. I have previous model from when it sold for $9.99

I really like the in-line chuck instead of the more common angled chuck. I found a better version of them in a NAPA catalog, but have not ordered any yet. I ditched the near worthless gauge and got a decent one from McMaster like p/n 4003K11 ($18.71)

I bought one for each rig, but so far only one has gotten the gauge upgrade.

Currie EZ tire deflator. You can check tire pressure and air down quickly if needed. Cost about $30 for the Currie model. ARB has what appears to be a direct copy of it as well.

thanks; i'll check them out

We have had a lot of good feedback from the ARB tire deflator.



It is corrosion resistant brass/stainless deflator tool, protective rubber gauge guard and easy to read dial with 1 PSI increments.

It is a good one to have while deflating so you know exactly where you are pressure wise.

Love mine!!!

Very quick too....And i have 6 tires to play with too!!!

I used the ARB deflater and found it to be cumbersome for use on the trail. I soon gave it away. I guess it depends on whether you want to measure tires as they sit, measure pressures while deflating, or while inflating. I would far prefer the combination gauge and inflater mentioned earlier (whether from Harbor Freight or not would be up to you), attached as an air chuck to the OBA system. I generally find it is far easier to deflate tires with a simple stem tool and pencil gauge than to attached and fiddle with a deflater/gauge, and easier to make fine adjustments down to the pressure I want with a pencil gauge. Airing up, however, is far easier with a gauge/inflater than with chuck and pencil gauge because you can quickly monitor pressure as it rises, so you don't have to detach hose, read pressure, reattach hose, try again.

Ultimate Air makes a good one.

It's a little pricey ($59), but it's the only one I've seen that has reasonable scale. It reads from 0 - 60psi. If all you're using it for is tires, this should be the most accurate.

I bought my first Accugauge in '81 and still have it, and find it still accurate. It's available in 15, 30, 60, 100 and 160 psi ranges.

I also have one with a dual chuck end on a rubber hose
