Precise, accurate and easy to use
If you need more precision than the simple dial gauges give, such as if you're airing down your offroader or you need your tires to be at a certain spec for racing or hauling, this meter and chuck is for you. Accurate and simple to use with the kind of precision I'd expect from a much higher end tool.

Great Tool for the Shop.
I agree with all the other reviews except the part about changing the battery. Took me a total of five minutes, not counting the time to go buy a battery. It uses one CR2450, which is easy to find. I now keep a spare on hand. I used a screwdriver with a 1/8 inch wide tip, and it worked great. Kudos to Northern for having the manual online! I couldn't find mine, and had no idea how to change the battery. Looked up the product, opened the link to the manual, and had it fixed.

reliable
Great product. Easy to use and very accurate. Love the ability to use as an air blow tool to clean off around a work area. Everyone should have one of these. It is great for everything from a low pressure 4 wheeler tire and the big jobs like fill up front-end loader tires.

Great tool >>
Perfect air chuck. Sturdy construction. Works like a charm - everyone that uses it loves it. Should have bought this sooner!

Great gauge till the battery dies
This was by far the best gauge I've owned till the battery died after six months..
The battery is extremely difficult to replace. Screws that you need to remove seem to be installed with Loc-Tite. One screw broke the tip off a quality screwdriver, the other screw head stripped out.
Figured I may as well tear rhe whole thing apart now that it was useless. Finally got the battery replaced but it took several hours.
If it wasn't a slow day I would have just thrown the thing away and given it one star.
My recommendation it to not follow the battery replacement instructions that come with the gauge but rather remove the allan head screw on the back and push the entire gauge out of the rubber. At least that way you can see the two screws that need to be removed.
Make sure you keep your owner's manual, you'll need it.

Very nice, a time saver
I am very pleased with this inflator. Very easy to use, the illumination is a definite plus. Much more convenient than filling the tire, then checking the pressure with a separate gauge.

Quality Item
Very nice inflator for my shop/man garage. Really like this one has protective rubber over entire unit so it can handle rough use and last long time. Has light, and big numbers are easy to read.
