Saw this - a new tire pressure valve cap gauge. Quite interesting and a new great idea (if the gauge is accurate) but it is rather expensive for valve caps. Times 4 caps - it makes it about $100.00!!!!!!
kinda pricey and super akward looking, there's already a product that is a "thershold" guage, i.e. it turns red when the pressure drops below a certain level, that can be had for about $20/set of 4, which makes a bit more sense to me. Looks like they are more marketed towards trucksers than cars (at least I don't roll with 100 psi in my tires. . .)

As to those other ones, as they have the valve stop pushed in, they tend to allow air to leak out.
Not if you screw them in properly, they seal just fine. I have a set on my truck (that I only drive occasionally) that have held pressure just fine for over a year now, its nice to be able to walk around the car and tell if your tires are all safe.
