Motor Luxe Tire Inflator Pressure Gauge 170 PSI / 12 Bar - Professional Heavy Duty Air Compressor Tool For Your Car and Truck - Free Accessories

This tire inflator seems to work fine as far as making a good seal and the gauge seems to be fairly accurate with psi measurements. What I don't like though is it seeps air out regardless if you are squeezing the lever or not. I left it on my motorcycle tire while I stepped away for a moment only to come back and find the pressure in my tire increased to above 60 psi without ever squeezing the lever. I checked the pressure of the tire with my digital gauge first to see if this gauge was accurate before I even attached the inflator to the stem so I know it was at the right psi in the first place. I let air out until I got to the 36 psi it needed to be and checked against my digital and it was accurate but I had to get t to the right pressure and remove the hose immediately before it could put more air in the tire. I lowered my compressor settings to see if that reduced the output or removed it altogether to no avail. It will be harder to fill a tire accurately when it is constantly putting air in. I don't think this is normal.UPDATE: I should have posted this a long time ago! The seller reached out to me with my concern and sent me a replacement at no cost and I didn't have to return the defective one. I am VERY pleased with the replacement AND the service!!

So the thing works, which is great. It feels pretty heavy duty, which is also a plus. The main reason I bought this is for the way it connects to the valve at 90 degrees.So the downside: The pressure gauge itself is HUGE. As in ridiculously large, so much so, that it not only looks funny, but makes the whole thing heavy and clunky. Also, the gauge goes up to 170PSI. 170!!! This is designed for tires. NO tires of any kind will get anywhere close to 180PSI. Most will be under 50PSI, and in rare cases up to 65PSI. Street bicycle tires can get to 100PSI but those are always pumped by hand because the tubes have such a small volume. So in the range that you need it, it's inaccurate because movement of a fraction of an inch of the needle is a few PSI. That's a bit silly. 3 stars because I can deal with the silliness while it does what I need it to do in a slightly inaccurate way.Now in defense of the seller, it's clearly labeled as 170PSI and heavy duty. So I can't blame them for that. I just know that it's completely impractical for tires.

I like it but the reading is not totally accurate. Sure is a lot easier to use than holding the insert in place for an extended period and once you get used to the difference in the setting so you know how much air to really put in, it is great. I read other reviews and talked to mechanics who had other units similar to this but cost $100s more and those were no more accurate.

Well, the inflator looked great when it arrived. I used it today to top off my truck tires, and was very disappointed:1. The "pressure release" button sticks. I pressed it once to release some air, and it stuck. I had to hurriedly detach the inflator from the tire valve, play with it, and then it seemed OK. This happened more than once.2. The second tire inflated well, but released air once I detached the inflator. Turns out the valve core got smashed. The pin inside the inflator isn't centered (I noticed that later).Luckily I live near a tire shop and was able to limp there on a deflating tire to get a new valve core. Very disappointed with this product, returning it. Cannot recommend this to anyone.

I love this gauge and set up. Works just as well on a tankless compressor as it does one with a tank. Very nice to be able to clip it on, and get a pressure read while filling. Then if I overfill, there is a bleed off button built in. No more add air, check pressure, add more air nonsense. The gauge is also armored/rubberized, which I didn't really appreciate until I dropped on the pavement. Great value and good set up, would be perfect in any shop or setup.

Never used one of these gauges so it was a new experience. Doesn't come with any instructions but did receive an email from them with some basic instructions. I sent them a question and they promptly replied. Used it to fill up bike tires, both using different valves. The gauge comes with an adapter to use and it came in handy. Neighbor had an air compressor and the tires were filled very quickly! Worth the price!!!

It pumps up regular tires. Not sure how to see the current pressure of the tire, without letting the air out of the tire, and getting a variable inaccurate "flow" out reading. Only able to see the pressure as I'm pumping up the tire. Maybe I'm missing something? It didn't work pumping up bike tires with the adapter for me at all. It is nice to have it "clip" onto the tire stem so that you don't have to hold it on while pumping.

I bought this because my old inflator with the plunger-style gauge had a bad seal wouldn't inflate to high enough pressure for my new trailer tires which want 80psi. This gauge is really big and easy to read. Locks on with no leakage. Easily inflated to 80psi and the bleeder button is great for fine-tuning. Tested final pressure against another gauge and both agreed.
