Excellent product. You can measure the pressure without looking at the gauge. It beeps when ready and saves the pressure reading for viewing.

I'm surprised at the negative reviews. This product is well designed. It is easier to use than the traditional analog gauges and worth the price premium.

I didn't buy this on Amazon because of the earlier negative reviews.
So, I went by my local bike shop to look for an alternative, and this was the gauge they had. They showed me how to use it, and I found it has none of the problems described by earlier reviews, when used correctly.
To use it correctly on high pressure presta valves you have to a) have it on the presta setting, and b) make sure that the valve seats correctly in the gauge as you put it on.
Seated correctly, the tire loses about 0.5 lbs per use. That's less that the advertised 1.0 to 1.5 lbs in the manual.
The alleged wait for it to turn on is trivial.
The readings are accurate and consistent with the inline gauge on my Topeak floor pump. They are also consistent with the pressures that 12g and 16g cartridges are supposed to provide.
My only quibble is that you do have to be careful to put the gauge over the valve stem gently and guide it carefully to the middle of the gauge seat.
Feeling the pressure. May 24, 2009 Cougarbait33 (Knoxville, Tennessee) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Totally dope little item. Only gave 4 stars because it doesn't seem especially durable. Works like a charm. I keep it in my saddle bag so I can inflate to the proper pressure if I get a flat on a roadie ride. Doesn't work well on short Presta valve stems.

Easy to use, fairly easy to read. Good enough range to cover cars, bicycles, etc.
