Many buying this tire gauge likely want an all-metal gauge - similar to the one they have/had that lasted 20yrs. This one is "made in USA".
We hope it's similar in quality to one we used and handed down to a son or daughter.

Simple mechanism. The measure stick should pop out consistently. But, this thing is at 50lbs, 38lbs, all over the place on a tire already tested as 32lbs. The whole RED barrel the measure stick rides in fits loosely and moves in and out 1/4". It's almost like a polyurethane bushing or gasket is missing from inside the tire gauge barrel.

Bad QC and/or missing part(s), even though this thing has like - what ... - 1.2 moving parts? Is it that hard to auto-test (or manual test) each of these? After all, a pencil tire gauge is only slightly more mechanically complicated than a dip stick.

Just plain not accurate. Pushing my finger on the sidewall on a (recent) slow-leaking tire, I guessed it was 20lbs;
.. the tire measured 24lbs with another trusted gauge...

Sorry, Milton - gave you a try.

Instead went with this one from Victor Victor Pencil Tire Press Gauge, 10 to 50 psi which was accurate, consistent with multiple repeated readings to within 1lb, includes 4 free rubber tire caps, and is available on Amazon and at Advanced Auto

What can we ask for a tire pressure gauge?
Portable? Compact? Convenient? Accurate?
Of the four, I think the most important is the last. It must be accurate within one PSI for normal tire pressures. In the case of this tool, it fails miserably. My brand-new gauge reads 15% low at 40psi. This is unacceptable and dangerous. I cannot recommend this product to anyone.

I purchased this gauge because it had high marks, made in USA, doesn't need batteries, and the cost is very reasonable. I'm very glad I did.

There is a little collar around the air inlet, almost like a well, the helps to helps to align the unit so it sits flat against the tire valve. It makes it much easier to get a pressure reading.

I have an old gauge where there is no such collar around the air inlet. It sometimes took some fumbling, and loss of air, before I got it to seat properly on the valve to get a good pressure reading. Goodby old gauge.

Everybody should have this gauge. There is really no good reason not to.

I had the same stick type tire pressure gauge for around 28 years. About a year ago, I went to use it and it broke apart. I went ahead and bought a replacement which was a Slime brand gauge that was manufactured in China. I generally try to avoid made in China when I can but I needed the gauge and it was all the store carried and I wasn't going to drive around town for a 4 dollar gauge. That Slime gauge seemed amazingly inferior to the one I had for all those years. It was made with lightweight materials and gave inconsistent reads when I rechecked the same tire. I figured they were all like that now and was basically satisfied for 4 dollars. A year later, the gauge broke leaving me in need another. Instead of stopping at a nearby store and grabbing one, I checked Amazon and found this made in America gauge. I have received the gauge and used it and I am thrilled. It is a tank compared to the Slime gauge. It is sold metal construction and seems just like the one I had for 28 years. Readings are also consistent and it was only a dollar or two more than buying a crappy plastic gauge. I generally like to wait at least 6 months before leaving a review to be sure the product I've reviewing doesn't fail but I am extremely confident based on the quality of this gauge that it will be another 20 or 30 years before this one will need replacing.

Pros-
It's a Milton!
There's no annoying spring to suck the gauge back in before you read the pressure!
(Whoever thought that was a good idea should be publicly flogged)
No Battery needed!
Cons-
No Light
Not accurate to 2 decimal places
You actually have to push the gauge back in when you're done
Just kidding on the cons. For 6 bucks you can throw it in your glove box and it will work until someone swipes it
