Anyone used the Psiclops tire pressure guage

Has anyone used this tire pressure guage http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=58?

It's 3-60 psi with .5psi accuracy; I figure I can throw it in my Christmas wish list if it isn't crap

I like that it appears to clip on to the stem and that you can attach the compressor to the end of the gauge to add pressure. Anything that makes using the local gas station compressors a less cumbersome chore (no garage and no maintenance in the lots, even if i could get a compressor out to my car).

I did a search, but this particular product didn't seem to exist during the other times the topic came up on the forum.

Save yourself some money and get this one:

Its half the price and works as good as that one. It doesn't have a light in it though. I have one, my friend has one and we have compared them to three digital gauges and they are right on the money. I'm wondering why they say the chuck on that gauge is a proprietary design. It looks exactly like the one on mine.

Oh nice, that does look like a good deal - and you've actually used it. As for the design - maybe it is proprietary, just not their proprietary

Thanks, that EZ-Air is going on my list.

[Edit] Also, nice color choice for your MCS - that's what I'm planning on getting

Try this one. I use it all the time and it is really good. The chuck works really well (does not leak air when you press it onto the valve) and you can bleed the extra air by pressing the valve in the middle. The 2" face is really quite large and readeable. It is also accurate enough for racers.

Their deluxe guage is even better (and larger) but is more expensive.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I added a few things to my wishlist (which seems to make my family happy!).

I have this one myself and love it!





I got a locking chuck tip for my normal tire filler. I lock the compressed air line on the gage, and use the trigger on my filler to add air pressure.

I can set my cold pressures in my garage faster than my compressor fills up with enough cold air to do it!
