The pressure is getting to me! (1 Viewer)

[Brakers]

Hi There all you experienced MH’s I'm looking for a easy to use reliable tyre pressure gauge, digital or analog is fine. All the ones I've seen on reviews are for cars and don't go high enough.
Any thoughts anyone?
Many thanks Tony

Hi there thanks for the link it looks a bit dumpy to me do you have to remove the wheel trim to use it?
Many thanks Tony

I cannot seem to find the following info.
1) Is the read out switchable ( PSI, atmospheres, kg etc )
2) what is the upper limit of what it can read ?
3) is it in any way water resistant ?

 

[clanjones]

I haven't found it a problem. I use it on 16" standard wheels with the trim on with the steel valves. I also have tyre pressure sensors so I have set the pressure with this device and monitor the pressure in the cab. Works well as does the pressure alarm if you set it to low!

Snap.
Bought mine from our local motor factors. No complaints so far, although not the easiest to get cleanly onto the valve stem without letting out more air than you intended!

Tried it out and compared with our local tyre fitting company was within couple psi of theirs can only assume theirs is accurate.

Can I jump in on this thread and ask what people use to pump their tyres up if they are a bit low or is it a trip to the garage? I'm suire I saw a thread on here recommending a pump but I can't seem to find it with the search and my "michelin" pump from Halfords only goes up to 50psi (or so it claims but not sure that I want to try it...)

 

[clanjones]

I use Morrisons air line which goes up to 90 PSI I think but beware not garage forecourt airlines do!

I bought one of these which has a pressure gauge and is more than powerful enough to pump up camper van tyres to over 80psi. At £50 its a bargain. Don't buy a double barrelled pneumatic pump as they are not man enough for the job.

 

[Lenny HB]

I use the electric pump that came with the van, when away use my bike track pump.

One of these what....?

I saw some double-barrelled foot-pumps in makro; they have a gauge that goes up to 99psi but I can't see them surving my big fat feet for long (c: I might get one for the push-bike.

SNAP!!

The only problem was a blown fuse on the 12v socket the first time I plugged the pump in.
