Joes Racing 32307 (0-60) PSI Tire Pressure Gauge

I was beginning to suspect that those pen-shaped pop-up gauges were not reliable because I would get consistent results for a given gauge on a given tire, but very different values for a different gauge on the same tire. In the scientific lingo, this means that a given gauge was precise (repeatable) but not accurate (gives the correct value). So I read the reviews here and bought two of these gauges. Although I actually needed two, having two also allowed me to test their accuracy and precision. Both were spot on, to within my ability to read the gauge. There is a tic mark at each one psi, with major labeled tic marks at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, etc., up to 60 psi. It is easy to see the difference between 32 and 33 psi, and by visual interpolation one can also easily estimate the pressure to the one-half psi with confidence. Since these spring-based gauges are most accurate the the middle of their range, they are ideal for use with automobile tires, which typically require 32 psi (but check the sticker label on the driver's side door, and don't forget to check your spare tire). The other very nice feature is the bleed valve. I have found that the best way to fill the tires to their rated pressure is to intentionally overfill them, and then use the bleed valve (with your thumb) to slowly approach the desired pressure from above, stopping when you have reached the desired pressure. Don't confuse this with a hold gauge. On this gauge, the pressure reading will only stay on the gauge as long as you keep it held onto the valve stem. When you pull it off, the reading will go back to zero. I prefer to use the gauge with the valve-stem attachment shown in the picture (not the alternate one shipped with the gauge. It seats easily with no leakage on my rims, and it is easy to hold onto the valve stem while you are slowly bleeding out air. Throw away your pencil-style pop-up gauges unless you know that they are calibrated by independent tests that you or your mechanic have performed. Even then, I have no idea how long they stay calibrated.

These are just great quality, accurate, and easy to use gauges that last a long time. I have had several.

I spent a whole lot of time researching this gauge because I am a stickler for accuracy when it comes to checking the air pressure in my tires. Proper inflation, along with rotating your tires and keeping your vehicles properly aligned are the keys to long tread life. Underinflation is the most common cause of premature wear resulting in the need to replace worn tires much sooner than expected AND you can't tell if your tires are underinflated by merely looking at them! I have found this gauge to be extremely accurate when I compared it to the $400.00 precision gauge used at my local repair shop. This guage is highly rated for good reason. The dial is quite large and the poundage scale is very easy to read. The attached hose is flexible and long enough to allow you to read the pressure without having to get on your knees regardless of where the valve stem is positioned . Another great feature not found on most gauges is the ribbed rubber guard that incases the dial. There's no need to buy a separate protective cover like other high-end gauges reccommend. In my opinion, the lack of a "HOLD" button is a minor issue. The "BLEED" button is all that is necessary to adjust the pressure when you have overinflated your tires. (There are other precision gauges on the market that can hold their reading, but they cost almost twice as much as this one!) The build quality of this gauge is excellent and should provide years of dependable service. Unless you drop it or measure pressures over 60 psi. Therefore. . .If the temporary spare tire in your trunk has more than 60 psi in it, do not use this gauge to check it! The 0 to 60 psi range of this gauge is perfect for most auto and truck tire applications but the gauge will be ruined if it is overpressurized and this will void the warranty. Buy a cheap pencil gauge with a 0 to 100 psi scale for checking your spare tire. If the pressure is off by a few pounds, it's not that critical!

I am amazed that I can no longer walk into a local auto pars store and purchase a quality air gauge. Every thing local is cheep China junk so I decided to turn to Amazon. I searched long and hard to find the best gauge for the money; I purchased this one based on the many positive reviews. I thought I wanted a gauge that would hold the reading when moved away from the tire as I had one years ago that had that feature. I found to get that feature in a quality gauge I would almost double my investment and I was no willing to do that. So,I decided to give this unit a try. After using this gauge I now find I prefer the way this gauge works better than one that holds the reading when released. I find it is so easy fill my tire a few pounds over then tap the air release button to obtain the exact tire pressure needed in seconds and I'm done and off to the next tire. This thing I guess is a true racing gauge as I had no idea how it would speed up the process of inflating my tires to the exact correct pressure. I like the solid look and feel of quality and the glow in the dark face is cool looking. I could not be happier with my purchase and feel the quality is great and the price is right. The pressure relief valve is simply perfect and so easy to get the exact pressure. No more cheep gauges for me! I give the Joes Racing 32307 my highest recommendation! Buy it you'll like it...Your tires deserve this!

Overall solid gauge. I did not have a chance to compare it side by side with a calibrated gauge, but based on my running pressures, it appears to be accurate. The gauge is easy to read, and responds quickly. My only issue (and the reason I returned it) is I did not realize it would not hold pressure, so as soon as you remove it from the tire, the needle drops to 0. I'll be switching it out with Joes pro gauge with the hold feature. I have never had a gauge with the pressure release that didn't' hold pressure, hence why it caught me off guard, and it didn't specify this until I opened the package and saw it on the instruction sheet.

As a guy who keeps an air compressor in his car, I can tell you that pressure gauges on them generally suck. The TPM on your car is also pretty useless for anything other than telling you when you need air. They aren't accurate at startup (you have to drive a bit for them to replace the saved values from your previous excursion). And when driving, your tires heat up, which causes air pressure to increase by as much as 4 PSI. Getting a cold reading is the only way to know if your tires are properly inflated. With those things in mind, a tire pressure gauge is a definite must. You should always have one in your car. This is a good tire gauge for most passenger vehicles. It's accurate. It's easy to use. It's easy to connect for accurate readings (if you use the threaded connector...I never bother with the alternate connector provided). The hose extension is handy. The pressure release valve is super useful should you over-inflate. Yes, it's a bit bulkier than some items on the market. But the dinky options available aren't nearly as accurate and aren't likely to last as long. Do yourself a favor. Pick one of these up and keep it in the trunk.

This gauge was more expensive than others I have owned, but the additional price is more than worth it. In over 40-years of driving and maintenance I have gone through numerous brands and types of tire pressure gauges. None compare to the accuracy and ease of use of this one. First, it doesn't allow air to leak out around the valve like many of the cheap plastic and metal ones. Second, the gauge is easy to read and increments are clearly marked. The design insures they won't wear off either. Third, the air release button allows you to slowly release air with your free hand while watching the dial. My only regret is that you can only read up to 60 psi. It doesn't allow me to check the pressure in the tires on my road bikes, but I can work around that. Bike tires don't wear out nearly as fast as improperly inflated auto tires. Save yourself some aggravation, toss the cheap gauges, and get this one. If you use it weekly it will more that pay for itself by dramatically extending the life of your tires and improving your gas mileage.

I love this gauge. It has quality written all over it, and at $24.35 it's a fantastic deal. I had purchased the Moroso 89560 at nearly $45.00 last year, and I was excited about it, but when I started using it I noticed that the needle doesn't sit flush at 0psi and I was always second guessing the reading. I even spoke with Moroso reps about it and they said that that's just how it is. Also the rubber hose was tough and hard as nails to really get a good hold for placing on tire valve- it's a good hose but after using this Joe's Racing gauge, you won't go back to anything else. Anyways I was disappointed and unsatisfied and returned it. You don't have any problems with this Joes Racing gauge, the needle always sits flush with 0 psi and I get a consistent reading everytime. Plus it comes with a nice rubber shock resistant cover for a sure solid grip on the gauge. And it's glow in the dark face is great for low light or night time viewing, just hold it in front of the headlights for a few seconds and it's good to go. The build is great, solid, and quality. Solid brass fittings, excellent quality rubber hose, quality bleeder valve, and the the rubber shock proof cover is just great for handling and protection. And all for only $24.35 you just can't beat it, compared to almost $45.00 for the Moroso. Read the other reveiws- that's why I decided to go with Joe's Racing gauge after the disappointment with the Moroso.

Every car should ‘own’ one of these tire pressure gauges! Correct tire pressures mean longer lasting tires.

There are times when you realize that you've taken a product for granted. And for me, this is one of those moments. Typically, you think a rotary dial and bleed valve are very rudimentary and archaic, but in this instance, they are exactly what is necessary. I'm never going back to a cheap digital pressure gauge ever again. While on a digital gauge the numbers are spelt for you, the dials is somehow clearer and, to me, less easier to screw up the readings. The bleed valve is also a godsend. It makes it much easier to release air. No need to detach the gauge from the tire to remove pressure. Now with the click of a button, you can release pressure with the gauge still attached so you can bleed the exact amount needed. Just top up, and bleed until you get to your desired pressure. Saves a lot of time. Seriously, if you have a garage or like working on cars, you owe it to yourself to have this tool.

Es muy buen producto, preciso y práctico.

This is a great product and a must have!

Liked its sturdiness, the clear and visible readings, the accurate measurement, its appropriate for car tyre pressure (0 - 60 Psi) and the air pressure release button.
