I have been using it for the last year on my bike and prefer my tires at 33f/36r. When I fill them the feedback from the tire is exactly as I expect it to be. My car also has a tire pressure sensors and when I use this gauge on my car tires, the vehicle confirms the exact same measurement as the gauge.
Some of the earlier points made me think about how long this gauge would hold it's accuracy and since I've only owned it for a year, I can't comment on that... but aside from that, yes I would recommend it
Liquid filled helps with vibration and rough handling, and the liquid also serves to lubricate the internals. Might be a bit of overkill for a weekend mechanic.
Not sure what you searched for, but they have them in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and hex bit on clearance, plus no minimum for free shipping during October. These even have the locking quick release and sliding aluminum sleeve over the shaft:
And thanks for making me check, I just ordered one of each! I always played with them in the store but never thought they were worth full price. Don't even know why I'd need a speed wrench for 1/2", but I got one anyways.
Thanks!
I was looking for non-ratcheting types.
I worry about the quality of the ratchet mechanisms in cheaper tools. once that goes, the tool is useless - but for the closeout price, you can't really go wrong.
I like it!What about this instead?
Thanks!

$20 for this one, another PA favorite that sells out fast. I've had this one for a few years. Backlit and large numbers so I don't need my reading glasses, and no guessing where the needle is pointing depending on how you hold it. That said, I don't know how accurate it is other than matching my Acura MDX's TPMS. On the downside, the chuck needs to be fiddled with (and sometimes held in place) to prevent leaking. No big deal for me because it's attached to an air source, either my compressor or air pig.
