Questions & Answers
Between the 5 pound increments on my 52002 gauge, there are both 1 pound and 1/2 pound increments.
This one was purchased to check the tire pressure on my motorcycle. I ride up to 3300 feet above sea level. Wherever I am, a liquid filled with pressure equalizer ensures that I get the correct reading. Additionally, the gauge will last significantly longer. I've had others that didn't last, and with tires being so expensive, I want to get the most mileage out of them.
Yes, it does have a luminous quality to it.
I simply examined the gauge, its packaging, and the accompanying information sheets. There's no mention of where it's made anywhere. Longacreracing was also a place where I went. I looked on com but couldn't find any information about where it was made. Based on that, I'd speculate China. In addition, I purchased an Accutire MS-model. A Milton s-, a 4021B digital gauge (made in China), and a 4021B digital gauge (made in China). pencil 921 When I received them, I discovered that they were all in agreement on pressure readings, and both the Accutire and Milton gauges are significantly less expensive. However, I find that when I need to check pressure, I reach for the Longacre because it is so simple to use.

Not only because it includes an oil-filled buffer for longer life and more consistent accuracy. But it's the larger gauge that I really like; it's just easier to read and hold. br>The 17-inch air hose is a great length and has a lot of flexibility. br>Every aspect of this air gauge's construction and manufacture is of the highest quality. br>br>I have one of their more basic models, which isn't oil-filled, but I wanted a higher-end model so that I could double-check my readings. br>Just in case I misplace one or the other, that's enough to make me wonder if I've messed up the calibrations. br>Now that I have both, I can always double-check my tire pressure and be confident in my findings. br>br>This is a very well-made air gauge with a very nice protective gauge cover that is thick enough to absorb the majority of jarring shocks. br>br>This gauge also has a feature that my less expensive model does not: it "Holds" the pressure reading after you release, or pull off, the air chuck from the tire valve. So you can get a pressure reading by pushing down on the air chuck for a few seconds and then releasing it, and the gauge will still hold the pressure reading. br>Now, if you want to take a closer look, you can do so with this model, and once you're satisfied, you simply reset the gauge by pressing the release valve, which is the small silver button on the black metal housing that connects the air hose to the air gauge. br>br>The bleeder valve is another name for this button. It can also be used to deflate the tire if you've overfilled your tire by a pound or two and have your reading, by pressing the bleeder valve while the gauge's air chuck is still depressed on your tire valve, you simply press this button to release air from your tire, then release the button when it reaches the desired pressure reading. br>br>Another feature that makes this air gauge so appealing is that it is Dead On Accurate. br>I used it to double-check my other Longacre air gauge, which is also dead on accurate, but I took this one up to my cousin's auto shop, where he calibrates air gauges, and this 52002 air gauge matched every pressure. I put it through its paces at 20 pounds. , 45Lbs. , as well as a weight of 55 pounds. All of the readings were accurate. br>br>This air gauge is extremely simple to hold, read, and use. br>In addition, the gauge itself is larger than Longacre's other less expensive models, which is a major plus for me. br>This is my second Longacre air gauge, and while I enjoy them both, I prefer this one. br>br>One thing to keep in mind about this model is that before you use it, you must "Equalize" the pressure in the gauge itself. br>By that, I mean each time you pull it out to use it, not each individual tire; however, if you've had it sitting for a while (unused), and you go to check your tire pressures, the first thing you need to do is hold the gauge upright, loosen (turn the top screw cap counter clockwise, a quarter turn), and then re-install it. tighten the cap screw (by hand only) until it is securely fastened. Then proceed as normal with the air gauge. br>br>I'd strongly advise anyone thinking about buying this air gauge to do so! br>I'm very pleased with it!.
I used to have another Longacre gauge that worked well and was accurate for many years. I left it on the starting grid of a race and never saw it again. I borrowed this gauge from a friend and really liked it because my old Longacre's face was smaller and didn't have the retain pressure feature. br>br>I bought one for myself, but the tires didn't feel right at my next race. When I compared this gauge's reading to the readings of several others, it turned out to be 2 psi lower than the readings of several other gauges (and yes, I did relieve the pressure in the gauge as instructed). I exchanged it for a new one on Amazon, but it, too, read 2 psi on other calibrated gauges. I'm not sure if there was a bad batch of these, but the two I ordered were terrible. It appears that I'll have to continue my search for a good gauge, and I'm not willing to take a chance on a third. It's a pity, because I really liked my original Longacre gauge and the features on this one.
52002 The tire pressure gauge is very attractive. br>It arrived quickly, but the liquid level appeared to be different than in the manufacturer's photos. I placed an order for a liquid-filled Longacre 52-footer. The 0-value is 52002. 60 psi. I called Longacre Racing the morning after I received it to inform them of the liquid level. br>After looking at a picture of it (the same one that was posted), they determined that the gauge had been damaged, possibly as a result of being shipped by air, which depressurized the liquid and caused it to leak out. The gauge's design appealed to me, and I wished it were of higher quality. As a result, Amazon received it and it was returned to them.
Because good tires are your best insurance, why not invest in a good measuring instrument? I do a lot of off-roading and need to deflate my tires to 15 psi off-road and then re-inflate them before returning to pavement (ARB CKMP12). It takes a little longer to air down than I expected, but this is beneficial for maintaining a precise PSI in a hive. I need to know how much air pressure is in my tires so that I don't drop below 15 psi and lose control of my wheel. When you square up the nozzle, the pressure is registered and held even after you remove it. The equalizer valve is a fantastic feature that is simple to use. If you don't let go of the nozzle when it's upright, oil will leak out. It also glows in the dark, which is convenient because I'll be airing down before sunrise; all in all, this is a fantastic tool.
This is, without a doubt, the best and most precise gauge I've ever used. You must first open the top screw cap to equalize the air pressure before using it, and then close it. It's that easy. It reads in 1/2 pound increments to ensure accuracy. While this is beneficial, it makes reading the gauge more difficult because the lines on the gauge face are very close together, making it difficult to tell whether it reads 32 pounds or 32 kilograms. 1/2 lbs. It's very easy to bypass one of the 1/2 lb markings when using the bleeder valve, which means you'll have to add more air and restart. This is only a problem if you're anal, like me, and want to know exactly how much pressure you're applying. Otherwise, getting close to 32 pounds should suffice, and you can save money by purchasing a less expensive gauge.
I've only recently begun purchasing them because they are incredibly simple to use, well-built, dependable, and, well. . . simply dependable. This item has been banging around in my garage, occasionally attached to my wall-mounted television. compressor that is mounted on the wall br>br>Perhaps I shouldn't be reviewing a professional product that is presumably designed for a setting far beyond my own, but here we are.
