JACO ElitePro Digital Tire Pressure Gauge - Professional Accuracy - 200 PSI

I've been carrying the older (non-smoking) version for a while now. I've had a digital) version of this Jaco gauge in my motorcycle for over a year and am very happy with it. I needed a second gauge for my home garage and was delighted to discover that Jaco offers a digital option. I've been putting the gauge to the test since it arrived late last night. br>br>First and foremost, this thing is built to look like it belongs in a commercial garage. The Gauges Main Cover is made of solid ABS plastic and is protected by a tough rubber textured protector that will keep it safe from harm. All of the fittings and the pressure relief valve are solid brass, and the chuck itself is made of very thick metal with no air leaks. The hose is about a foot long and long enough to get under the fenders of the motorcycle to check the pressure. I compared the accuracy of my machine to that of my non-automated machine. One is a digital Jaco gauge, while the other is from another manufacturer. The readings from both Jaco gauges were identical every time, but depending on what I was testing, the readings from the brand were either over or under pressure. br>br>Among the features of the Jaco that I enjoy the most are: br>1) Two AAA batteries are required for the digital gauge. Most other digital gauges rely on "watch type" batteries, which are difficult to come by while on the road and don't hold up well in the bitter Chicago winters. br>2) The digital display is large and bright blue. Even in bright sunlight, it's easy to read. br>3) The Digital Display includes a battery meter, so you'll know when it's time to replace the batteries. br>4) The gauge as a whole is extremely heavy-duty, but the swivels are smooth and simple to operate. When I apply the chuck to the valve stem, I usually lose a little air, but the Jaco chuck's design squares it up and seals it immediately. br>br>I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about the gauge itself; overall, I'm very impressed. br>My only wish is that a couple of accessories be included, or at the very least be available as an option: br>Wish #1: An accessory hook attachment for hanging the gauge from the compressor or tool box. Wish 2) An optional carry case would be a great option. (I made mine out of a coat hanger, but it would be nice if it was integrated. )br> On motorcycle trips, I always check my tire pressure and would love to have a form-fitting case to keep the gauge safe in the saddlebags. br> (If you use this tip, Jaco, keep in mind to leave some empty space in the case for battery storage. ) )br>br>Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase; there are cheaper options, but the quality and accuracy are well worth the extra money. The JACO ElitePro Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is a great choice if you're looking for a high-quality, accurate tire pressure gauge.

The tire pressure gauge is very nice. The advantages and disadvantages are listed below. br>br>It has a solid feel to it. The overall construction is sturdy, and the swiveling 45-degree head is a nice touch. br>The display is backlit and extremely crisp and clear. PSI, bar, KPA, and Kgf are the units of measurement. Cm2. br>It has a nice protective good quality rubber around the display. br>The hose length is just right, neither too long nor too short! br>Until you press the bleed valve, the pressure measurement will remain in place. br>To conserve battery life, the backlight turns off after 30 seconds and the unit shuts down after 120 seconds. br>br>Now, let's talk about the measurement; I know it's close because I compared it to another Jaco needle pressure gauge, and they appear to be within 1 psi of one another. The Downsides: br>br> br>These are minor issues, but they should be noted. br>When a measurement is taken and then removed from the tire valve, the reading drops by about 0. 5 PSI . As a result, taking the measurement with the nozzle pressed against the valve will give you the best results. Perhaps this is to be expected. br>br>If you don't press the bleed air valve, the unit will never turn off. It will drain your battery because it believes it is still measuring. BE SURE TO BLEED THE AIR BEFORE STORING IT. If you remove the screen protector, it is very easy for it to be scratched. It's best to leave it on (this is also a minor issue)br>br>Overall, it's a fantastic game. The unit is solid.

I've previously purchased products from JACO Products (including an analog type tire pressure gauge) and found them to be well-made and usefully innovative, and this digital tire pressure gauge is no exception. The gauge's business end is small enough to fit into tight spaces (motorcycles, bicycles, lawn tires, etc. ) and swivels so you don't have to fight to get it in and keep the air valve connected. A rubber cover protects the digital gauge from the elements. Another cool feature is the air release button, which allows you to adjust the air pressure if it's too high. PSI, Bar, Pa, and gf/cm2 are the four pressure units that the gauge can register. The UNITS button makes it simple to choose from a variety of options. The ON button can be used to turn the gauge on or off. When compared to TPMS indicators, I've used it to check pressure in a variety of vehicles and found it to be fairly consistent and accurate. The only disadvantage is that when you remove the gauge from the tire valve, the pressure begins to drop (leak), so you can't take a reading and then look at the gauge after pulling it off because it will be inaccurate. Only when the gauge is directly connected to the tire being checked and the digital readout that gives the pressure to the nearest 1/10th in PSI (if that particular pressure unit is selected) can you get an accurate reading. It also comes with the required two AAA batteries and is backlit when in use. It can also withstand pressures up to 200 psi, which I find appealing. br>br>With the exception of the leak down issue, I would strongly recommend this product.
