                Tire pressure is supposed to be taken cold! So, one advantage of having a pressure gauge, is taking the pressure at home before driving the car (but, if at the servo, just subtract a couple from the air pump to get the cold reading).

          I use a floor stand bike pump with an analogue gauge*. Takes 5 mins to do all four tires. And the gauge on that matches the cars internal reading of tire pressure to less than 1psi. Pressure measurement isn't that hard, and yeah, servo meters are often broken, and often not well calibrated (try two different servos that are close together - you might be surprised at the $2 metering quality from the $5k industrial inflator)..

            @EthicsGradient: I am intrigued, I have a kmart bike pump with gauge as well. I always thought you can't use bike pump with car, but now that I think about it they can easily handle 60+ psi some bike uses, so yeah why not the 40 ish psi car uses, also I didn't know about servo pump not being well calibrated. I might try pumping up the car with the bike pump next time.

            • G-rig on 02/07/2023 - 07:20

              @rather-potato: Don't see why not as long as the valve is compatible with a mountain bike fitting etc. My floor pump goes quite high in comparison so may check it out too.

                @G-rig: Turned out to be easy when I started doing it. Also means it just gets done when it needs doing - no faff with remembering at the servo, no queuing, and no problems with servo inflator being out.

      A reasonable variation in readings though. My Michelin tyre pressure gauge is the source of truth for me

      The other issue - the best time to check tyre pressures is when your tyres are cold. So $9 for a good one you can keep in your car for this purpose is a bargain.

      Oh and no servo at Inskip Point, search "40psi club" if you're bored…

        The best right time to check tyre pressures is when your tyres are cold. If checking them hot, after driving, you have to deduct a couple of PSIs, at least.

      It's nice not to have to do the whole 'servo-shuffle' shenanigans unless you have to. I.e. with this you could check every few weeks at home, but not actually have to bother messing around at the servo unless you knew one or more of your tyres needed inflating. This unit could also be useful for determining just how slow a 'slow leak' is/whether the tyre could wait until payday, etc.

        After buying a battery powered portable air compressor I have not been to any servo to pump up my tyres for months. Unless I visibly identify an obviously flat or half flat tyre otherwise I just pump my car tyres up every month. Besides, I had a puncture a month ago where the slow leak did not warrant an immediate patch so I just pumped it up with my portable air compressor and patched it comfortably in my garage when I got home.

          What (tf) sort of tyres do you have, that you need to pump them up every month? May I respectfully suggest that you need a 'deal' on four new car tyres amigo. You should not need to be 'pumping your car tyres up every month' …

          If you are needing to do that, clearly there is a bigger problem at hand that needs addressing …

            @GnarlyKnuckles: I don’t pay extra for Nitrogen air in my tyres so the pressure goes down by about 1 psi every month which is normal. They are just normal passenger Pirelli (non RFT) radial tyres sold at most tyre shops.

            • G-rig on 26/06/2023 - 12:26

              @wtfnodeal: Yeah it's Amazing some people can't imagine them leaking slowly over time and losing a bit of pressure. Seems to be a lot less than some bicycle valves that I top up start of each week but check before every ride moreso.

              • wtfnodeal on 26/06/2023 - 20:58

                @G-rig: They probably paid extra for Nitrogen pumped into their tyres which only need topped up once a year. If I am a multi millionaire I might pay extra for Nitrogen too.

      I'm not getting an air compressor out to check my tyre pressure…

      These are quick way to monitor a tyres slow leak or a repair, checking pressure for towing or airing down to go off road.

      Occasionally I'll use a temperature sensor on the outsides and centre of the tyre as a measure of correct inflation and check the pressure

      Over a long trip the wrong pressure can ruin a tyre, reduce braking or cause a blowout.
      I check the pressure often to suit the load I carry, the weather and particular road surface.

      There are remote pressure sensors and temperature scanners but I haven't thought to spend the money.

      I still like to check the pressure quickly before and after towing or camping so I know if theres a problem before it happens

      • wtfnodeal on 25/06/2023 - 20:34

        ? Some battery powered portable air compressors are as small as a power bank and serve the same purposes for monitoring and inflating the tyres. I highly doubt you save time on using this to check your tyre pressure over using a portable air compressor unless you are talking about a millisecond of time saved.

        So our tyres were a bit flat last week - 33-34 psi - needed to be topped up to 36. Took less than 5 minutes, and most of that was buggering around with tight caps on the fittings. Works just fine, haven't used a servo pump in 3+ years now.

        10 psi would take a bit longer, but if your tire is at 10 psi you have bigger problems than needing a bike pump.

  • Tehcookiemonsta on 25/06/2023 - 20:05

        Well it's rated quite well on ozbargain and it supposedly pumps upto 100 PSI, it's for cars…

        Portable inflators are really for emergencies, i guess if you check weekly it wouldn't take long.

        That was basically my point, in comparison to the tyre inflators at the servos even the "good"portable compressors are no where near the servo devices

        This was the product I bought.

          I see, there are plenty of Amazon as well but I've never felt I needed one, not while you are near a servo. It could get you out of a jam, but would need something to repair the tyre too (but most people carry a spare).

          It just feels like an unneccary purchase some of this stuff, especially if it doesn't work as you had hoped. An air compressor and guage in the garage would be way better (and obviously cost a lot more).
          I'd probably only get something for cycling (or use a hand pump or co2) as I can imagine these ones aren't really up to the task for cars.

      you have to find the screws then dismantle it and awkwardly reassemble it….you can tell they really though about the design & function!

      The negatives is there is no instructions and no mention how to change the batteries. Upon checking there are two screws which require undoing and it will open the unit, where the battery can be found. They could have made this easier, as it is fiddly to re-assemble as the button cover falls out when you open it.
      &
      Yep I bought this great tyre gauge 3 months ago downside NO INSTRUCTIONS… my battery is flat now and NO EASY way to it or them just found a review need to unscrew the unit which apparently falls apart then Humpty Dumpty will put it back together again.

    Doesn't matter if it's a few PSI off, that's not actually the point of carrying your own gauge.

    The thing with tyre pressure, is that being in the ballpark for pressure is actually 'good enough' for most people; but more important is that they're all the same pressure, so ABS and even just grip for the driver is predictable front to rear and side to side.

    Personally, if you own a car, or a bike, or lots of sports balls, I'd put the $9 as a 10% deposit toward a little compressor and call it done.

    Just chiming in that this model is rebranded and can be found all over AliExpress and Amazon. I've bought two no-name versions of these 6 years ago from eBay. They are still going, with a few battery changes, and always accurate.

    This is a good price considering I bought mine for more than this and some rebrands are going for close to $30.

    Handy to have in your glove box for a quick check up, although I don't use them much these days since buying a DeWalt cordless tyre inflator.

        Yes definitely take it back. Requiring that many small batteries is a joke too.

    I have an analog dial one, but am itchy to get this digital one (as I sit in the car at Bunnings parking lot, checking whether I should get anything else, other than the stuff I came here to get 😅).
