mine was fine when received from the seller. The gauge will probably still work ok. Just make certain you handle & store carefully.Nick

if you are speaking about the plastic clear cover then is not really a problem . if you are speaking about the hose or the gauge it self then it is better get rid of it and get a new one, Remember you are dealing with pressure and with faulty equipment it won't give you the right reading, the hoses will pop open from the pressure also will let the work properly.

Find the crack and just click it off. You might need a knife or screw driver.

If you fee around the front panel on the bottom; there is an indentation. Just push from the bottom and pull slowly but firmly. You will hear some cracking that's nonormal do not be alarmed. Be careful and mindful of the front panel connectionns; and enjoy the experience. Best of luck to you &#128516;

The compressor will be close enough to you...that you will be able to read the gauge on it. Enjoy it !

I also fractured mine as well, I do not have an answer on what to do. Mine did not work well enough to invest a lot of money to repair it. If you find out let me know.

There should not be moving part inside other than the needle indicator on the gauge. You may be able to see inside through the vents.

Mine is not that old yet but it is the same level. It should not lose oil, unless there is a leak in the borden tube. I haven't taken mine apart but most analog gauges are made with a borden tube.

Yes. Mine did the same thing. I tested the batterie and found the two in the front weren't as strong as the ones in the back. I rotated them front to back and charged them and the gauge has worked every since. Hope this works for you.

Return it,it is damaged and if you try to bend it back into place it weakens the metal attaching that prong.

Yes you should. The gauge is most accurate in the middle of its range. In fact you can damage mechanical gauges if you exceed their range.

Mine is also flaking and hasn't been used but has been out of box for a couple of weeks. And it also has a crack in it already.Hopefully it won't get worse.

I had to take the gauge out of the rubber casing, pop off the over and adjust the paper beneath the needle. Guess it's a common issue but a quick fix.

Nope. My gauge broke and I tried to remove it. It's pretty much super glued in there - my chrome wrenches stripped the brass fitting of the gauge, it never even broke loose. Also the brass fitting is not even accessible because the gauge protector blocks access to it.

Mine was cracked too...and the red handle was missing. I didn't even realize it was missing until I got a larger one later. You might return it but mine works fine and the crack never got worse.

When in doubt .. take it to Lowe's and use their gauges or just trial and error.

No. There's a chrome-colored knurled female tip on the gauge. Make sure it is screwed tight!
