Re: Finally, a good tire gauge at reasonable cost
 

Thanks Hib--Just got two--one for me and one for my son--for Christmas. I've got an older digital guage that seems fine but but I have had it a long time and I expect it to die anytime now.--Bob

Talk about bringing back a dead post, thanks for this Hib. I stumbled across this post while in need of a good tire gauge. It arrived today and definitely the best I've ever owned.

Finally, a good tire gauge at reasonable cost and some Billet Aluminum
 

Concur Completely.........the post is NOT dead and the AutoMeter 2343 is the best tire gauge as Hib suggests......just park it in the center console :p

Here's a decent one - 2 AAA batteries so you can keep it alive; also has a light and
you can measure pressure in 4 different units - I use PSI ... accuracy? It matches my other gauges within one PSI at 30.

YMMV ... TGF

Re: Finally, a good tire gauge at reasonable cost
 

I bought 3 of the AutoMeter 2343 gauges when this post came out. Nice looking gauge, fits my hand & seems to be accurate. It wasn't too long before the tip fell out of the first one, then the next & the last one of the three. I could put it back in & it would function. Then one fell out & it was lost. Gauge now toast, so tossed it. I was constantly twisting the tip to get the right angle to seal on the valve stem. I still have two and they work, just not handily. Fix the tip so it stays in and make the tip straight instead of an angle and it would be a better tool.

That sounds strange Jerry. I have three of the AutoMeter 2343s too and never had a problem with the tip. I also have the AutoMeter 2160 that I keep in the garage. I like it better and easier to use and see the pressure since it has the hose. When I bought it years ago it was $8 less, but it is still a good buy today.

I think I figured out the problem! I'm left handed and the gauges are right-handed. Does that mean they are not handicap accessible? You "righties"
have it made. You should see the contortions I have to do to sign one of those credit card screens, left handed and upside down:sign10:

Obviously it's really not a big deal to me. a drop or 2 of Loctite would take care of the loose tip. I just need to get a round tuit! :thumbsup:

Jerry, ha ha! I?m a leftie too, but I check tire pressure with my right. I?m a weird leftie or maybe not a ?real?
leftie? I only eat and write with my left and everything else is right-handed. [emoji12][emoji1360]🤙🏼
