Accutire MS-4751WC Digital Programmable Tire Gauge with Light Review

I assume that Amazon will directly be selling this product at some point in the future (1/2008 right now), so I wanted to take the time to review this product.

I purchased this product from Costco for Christmas (well, the wife did for me) ... price was about $15.The model number was MS-4751WC.I can't see a difference betweeen mine and the MS-4751B advertised here.

Correcting some specs that are in the description ... Range is 5-99 PSI, Accuracy is +/- 1% + 0.1 PSI.Resolution is .1 PSI.The unit uses two replaceable batteries (CR2032).The unit is extremely well built ... with a heavy solid feeling that probably comes from its 1/2 pound weight! The unit is 5-1/4" Long by 2-1/2" Wide by 1-1/4" Thick.There is a bright white LED light in the tip of the unit that works well.Strange is that neither the users guide nor the unit itself tells you the model number ... it is only on the cardboard in the blister pack.Perhaps it is under the battery compartment that is held on by a philips screw.The actual display is 1-1/2 in diameter.The unit comes with a nice zippered storage case.

The unit allows you to program in front and rear tire pressures, and then will indicate if your pressure is either high or low.It looks more like a marketing gimmick, but I did program the front tires for one car, and the rear for my other car so I don't forget the inflation pressures that I use.

The unit needs to be held onto the valve stem for 2-3 seconds before the unit beeps to tell you that the pressure is recorded.It stays on the screen for 10 seconds and displays with a nice blue LCD backlight display.Unlike other Accutire gauges, this one makes a great seal between the gauge and the valve stem with absolutely no hissing or loss of air.This was on different types of tire valve stems.

Overall I like the unit, although it's a tad on the large size.It fits my hand well and the outside has a nice rubber cushion to allow you to have a good grip.A definite 5 star rating in my book.

Accutire MS-5510B Racing Tire Gauge Review

This gauge works well and is easy to read. It seats well and does mostly what it should.
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding from what I have read in other reviews. Let's clear a few things up.
First of all, you do NOT have to wait ten seconds between readings. You DO have to hit the recall button on the bottom between readings.
Secondly, you DO NOT have to send the unit back to replace the batteries. The instructions VERY clearly state the model number of user replaceable batteries (if you were to read the instructions).
The hose was flexible for me in 30 degree weather contrary to what I have read elsewhere. Maybe it gets stiff in really cold weather but then I use mine in the garage.

Very Nice Gauge
