Milton S-920 Pencil Tire Pressure Gauge With Tread Depth Gauge, Built-in Deflator Valve, For Higher-Pressure Automobile Tires, Durable Plated Brass, Pressure Measured In PSI & kPa

Also see my review on the S-921 5 -50 pencil guage (excellent) - and this S-920 is excellent as well, both gauges are accurate ---- I ended up searching all over town for a decent pencil guage -- looked all over my native capital city with four auto parts chains and NONE of them had even one decent tire guage, and none were made in the US--none, these Milton gauges all have "Made in USA" stamped right on them. All the local parts stores had was inaccurate Chinese junk, same gauges all sold under various brand names, but its not hard to tell they all come from the same offshore factory - and im so sick of it. Is it too much to ask to have the option of buying an accurate tire guage in a local store made in this country?? More to the point I want an accurate tire guage, not something that's "in the ballpark" -- My last set of tires cost just under $700.00 -- doesn't it stand to reason I want something more than a crappy import tire guage to make sure my tires are correctly inflated-?! Fuel and tires are expensive and both depend on your tire guage to go the most distance, so buy a good quality guage to take care of them-! As I said in my other interview, that industry standard for everyday tire guage accuracy is within 2 - 3 pounds, and all the Milton pencil gauges I bought have fallen well within that range, some identical --- and ive compared these to my more expensive dial guage from a prominant racing manufacturer and they are very close in accuracy. Buy these gauges before they outsource them to asia, theres no reason to not have a decent tire guage in the glovebox - and that's why pencil gauges are popular, they take up very little space in a console or glovebox. I just threw away a fistful of Chinese gauges that read all over the place, some were junk from day one, others took longer to fade away. The Milton name goes back decades, they make some of the best air line fittings in the industry, they know what theyre doing and they care about quality far more than any offshore sweatshop company. Buy them while you still can-!!

When I was a kid in the 1980s (the stone age of car tire gauges), these were basically all you could find, there were no digital gauges. The other day my cheapie Ch!nese digital gauge died out (change batteries, nothing) and I realize how much I need a simple, manual gauge as a backup. And it is a good idea for those who travel to have a manual, battery-free gauge inside their trunk or car care kit. This little gauge is awesome! It is sturdily built. Made in U$A and very accurate within 1 PSI point of my 2 other digital gauges (one is a digital one and the other is in a Ryobi tire inflator), so clearly, the thing works. Very nice, will buy another for my other car trunk! :)

I have had a Milton air inflator for 20+ years that I use w my air compressor at home garage, but I needed a gauge to keep in car glove box. This is it. First, no batteries to die or leak in hot glove box, like my last gauge. Also no dial style gauge to break if dropped. And most importantly, accuracy. This gauge has it all and it is made in USA, too. As Winter approaches I like to be sure my TPs are up. The tire pressure monitoring systems only warn if 1 tire is low compared with others, so you need to fiddle w settings on dashboard to see your TPs. And then when you add air you really need a hand gauge like this to check the fill. The TP system has to “reset” meaning you don’t see on dashboard how much air you’ve added until you drive about half mile. Not very convenient. This gauge takes care of all those issues and stores in glove box. And it is a great buy, too.

Works very well. Just be aware that it measures in 2 pound increments -- even numbers -- which makes it just a bit more difficult to use if you want something that also measures odd numbers like the 33 & 35 psi my car calls for. You can estimate the odd numbers between the even number lines. That "2# increment" information in there the description but I missed it so that's my own fault. I would have purchased a different item had I seen it. So this is just an alert. Other that that, it is just fine.

I have been using Milton gauges forever. As a teenager I worked at a small town gas station in TN pumping gas, cleaning windows, and checking tires in the mid 70s. I remember the little pencil gauge clipped in my pocket that read Milton. From that day on and through 22 years in the military and later owning a c-store, I have always trusted Milton gauges. They are accurate, solid (almost unbreakable) and very importantly....MADE IN USA. The only reason I ever need to buy one is: 1. I lose it. 2. I accidentally leave it in a vehicle I sell. 3. Getting one for a gift.

I don't care for pencil gauges, but this fits nicely in the mini toolkit I carry on bike rides. Ostensibly machined in the US, so that's cool. Feels sturdy/hefty, inspires confidence. Is it accurate? Heck if I know. It pretty much matches my dial gauge, but do I know that's accurate? I'd be leery of reviewers who complain of inaccuracy if they don't mention specifics. For example, if I really wanted to vouch for (or complain about) the accuracy of this gauge, I might mention something like "measured 28 psi, vs 29.5 on my calibrated lab-quality gauge". For car tires, this product is fine for the glovebox. For bike tires, it's certainly better than guessing. But yeah, for home/shop use, you really should have something better than a pencil gauge.

Love these, have one in every car. Works great, never fails. Great quality.
