My favorite for the garage is one I built from a dial gauge and a straight Schraeder fitting. But the glass dial face doesn't travel so well. (The glass is currently held together with shoego) I also like my dual foot "stick", necessary for dual wheel - but it also reads to 120 lb/in^2 (PSI) so it works for my load range E and F tires. > How accurate is it? (I'll confess to being a stickler about > accuracy.) How do I tell? None of them are certified traceable to NBS. I'm less concerned about accuracy as repeatability. I want the pressures to match more than be a particular number - that changes with temperature. > What is its range? (I'm getting new trailer tires which take 65 > psi.) I have one that the top reading is about less 2 bar - for things like lawnmower tires. The dial max is 100 lb/in^2 (PSI) [about 7 bar] > Or do you just not care? I'm pretty good with a tire thumper, boot, or just my eye - but when I drag out the compressor hose I nearly always use a gauge. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
