“This gauge came out top in the Auto Express tests in 2024. It is conveniently small, well made, with four pressure scales and an LED light at the tip. It turns off automatically after 60s - could be useful if you could manually turn it off as well, maybe the fifth press after the four presses to choose the pressure scales?. The main issue is that there is a definite "knack" to getting the tip correctly placed on the tyre valve in order to get a reading. I had to speak with Tech Support who advised me on this and finally I got it to work. An extended "snout" or tube extension on the tip in order to exactly guide a typical tyre valve onto the sensor head, in order to ensure a correct placement every time might be worth considering. Key advice is "don't give up" - just elevate/rotate the gauge up more and try again- it will work in the end.”

“I bought 3 of these for family members at the moment I have not been able to get the gauge to work on any of our car tyres. It may be something to do with the cold weather. Plan to have another go in a couple of weeks. At this stage I cannot recommend. Happy to provide a further update if and when I manage to get the gauges to work.”
“Difficult to read to set to psi or other settings especially if you wear bifocal glasses.
Difficult to hold if you have big hands as it's so small.
Myself and a friend both tried to push it onto the valve with no success and nearly split the rubber valve.gave up in the end without a tyre reading.
Absolutely worse gauge I've ever had.”
