FAQs

What is the measurement range of this gauge?

The gauge measures tire pressure from 5 to 50 PSI.

Does this gauge require batteries?

No, this is a mechanical gauge and does not require batteries.

How do I use the deflator function?

After taking a reading, press the small pin on the tip of the gauge firmly against the tire's valve core to release air.

How accurate is this type of gauge?

Pencil gauges provide a good guide for tire pressure. For highly critical or professional applications, a digital gauge may offer greater precision.

Can I use this on bicycle tires?

Yes, as long as the bicycle tires use standard Schrader valves, this gauge can be used.

How should I clean the gauge?

Wipe the gauge with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Gauge is not providing a reading.

Ensure the gauge is pressed firmly and straight onto the tire valve to create a proper seal. Check that the valve core is not stuck.

Reading appears inaccurate.

Check the gauge's reading bar to ensure it is clean and can move freely. Try deflating and re-inflating the tire slightly before taking another measurement. Compare with another gauge if possible.

Deflator function is not working.

Ensure the pin on the gauge is properly aligned with the tire's valve core. Apply steady pressure to activate the deflator.
