Does it fit on the car tire's valve stem easily, without letting lots of air out of the tire before getting a reading?

This one is the easiest one to use out of the package. Push it on straight and quickly and you shouldn't lose much air. There will always be some lost. This is from being a mechanic all my life :)

My experience with this gauge has been simple to use and it's let's out very little air.

Hi Jane, it is good but not great. The higher end gauges have a better coupler.

No screwing around with this unit. You do need to push the little dump valve on the side of the vertical tube in order to re-zero the gauge before taking a reading. Then press the gauge straight onto the valve stem of the tire to take a reading.

No, it does not, so it's important to keep an eye on it until whatever you are airing up has reached the pressure you want. Since it's pretty fast for the average vehicle tire, you shouldn't have to wait long.

It's really easy reading the tire pressure once you're checking it. You can release it from the tire and still read the pressure from the gauge. It deletes after aprox thirty seconds. Or you can read it while you're checking the tire pressure.

I don't think so. The end that goes on tire valve screws off. Just find the proper end. That should not cost much. After tightening all the screw on connections in this unit it works fine. The gauge is accurate. Good deal for the money.

It should be pressed against the valve stem without bending the valve stem. On my SUV, it can be done very easily. But, on my Royal Enfield motorcycle, I had to maneuver it as I had to insert the digital tire pressure gauge in between the spokes and measure the pressure with the dial facing the opposite side due to the angle and spokes. Of course, I can read the value after measuring and removing it from the wheel.

Yes, the unit has a standard tire-type air fitting that allows one to check and add pressure as desired.

Good Morning Steel valve stems are ultimately recommended and I would definitely switch over the next time you have tire work performed. That being you can use the smaller Anti Theft (1 inch) on a rubber valve stem, I would not recommend using the Flow Through (2 1/2 inch) on a rubber stem. I do recommend using rubber valve stem supports on your rubber stems. There are 2 types; one that goes over the rubber stem and clips onto the edge of the rim, the other that adheres to the rim and support the rubber stem from the side. You can do a google search for "rubber valve stem support" or email us off our web site and we will gladly send you some pictures of what to look for. The primary issue with rubber stems is where the rubber stems come through the metal rim. With extra wear and vibration the rim can start to cut into the valve stem. You always want to make sure on your walk around to wiggle the rubber stems and listen for air leakage through any stem, particularly where it comes out the rim. Customer Relations EEZ RV PRODUCTS

Not that I am aware of.My only complaint about this gauge is the fact that it is not easy to attach securely to the valve stem. Otherwise I think it is great, but I'm not aware of any other attachments for it.

I do not believe it will function on a Presta type bicycle inner-tube valve stem. The Accutire Gauge has a simple, typical car valve fitting (Schrader) interface. In fact the valve to gauge interface it is the weakest link in the Accutire device. It simply is a flat rubber surface with small metal post protruding out from its center, all being recessed down inside the plastic gauge nose/tip.. So the only airtight seal is your handheld force of than flat rubber surface against the round, cylindrical top of the valve, i.e., typical car valve stem. That rubber surface is prone to weer and deformation over time and use, so that is typically where the gauge deteriorates and so becomes useless (will not seal properly to give accurate, consistent readings).

Yes these valve stem extensions can easily be installed by hand and you will not loose a significant amount of pressure - very easy to install.

The valve stem for a tubeless tire is not part of the tire, it is inserted into a hole in the rim, and pulled through until the first section snaps thru thus seating the stem in the rim. It is a good idea to get a new valve stem when installing a new tire. You would not like to break the seal of your new tire 3 months later because the valve stem went bad.

No - per my husband, it is very simple to put ithe cover on the tire. Just make sure it's even all the way around.

Yes, the range of the gage isn't large, just what it needed for most car tires. Easy to read.

You can use it, but you must have the air pump adapter on the valve to get a reading.

The short answer is no! I tried it and with the valve stem being made for a center stem the tire cut the stem after a short time of use.

No you cannot install these valve stems without breaking the bead on the tire. The central part of the valve must go from the inside to the outside of the wheel.
