Bought one similar to this, the Milton 504. The gauge does not seem to move. I assume it's defective, but wondering if I could me missing something.

The gauge will not read pressure while your adding air. When you release the lever it should read the tire pressure. I'm a professional mechanic & have used mine on cars & heavy duty trucks. Pressures ranging from 30-120psi. The gauge has always been very accurate. Milton is at the top for quality for many years. Hope this helps.

Sounds like something is caught inside it. Try blowing it out from both directions with compressed air.

It sounds like you might have a problem. I would suggest that you call Milton in Chicago and ask them about a replacement. I have had contact with them in the past and they have been very helpful. You can get their number via their Internet site. It is my view that Milton is the best tire inflator on the market. Final thought: I had a problem with a CH gauge once and it turned out to be a small speck of rubber lodged in the valve stem, which stopped the gauge from recording air pressure. Thus I might recommend that you try the gauge on different tires before contacting Milton. Good luck. John

My gauge would not come off (it sheared off before unscrewing). I had the same idea: 0-15 gauge would be much better. I ended up getting a Winters PEM gauge, a 3-way tee, and an adapter to go from NPT to Schrader (search Amazon for Professional Sports Ball Air Inflator Needle 3-Piece Set by FixFind). Works perfectly at the end of my new MP6000 airgun.

I've had no problem with mine. Just had to plug it in and make sure I touch switch is flipped to ON and when you wrap your hand around the handle it should lower. One finger touch won't trigger it. You need to touch where the dots are or on the bottom of the handle. The sides of the handle won't trigger it either. I am literally using mine right now. I use it almost daily for my sewing projects. I just purchased it from Amazon a month ago and have had no issues with it raising and lowering. It's possible you got a faulty product.

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced

Did you make sure you tightened the TLR on the left side of the weapon. This tightens the TLR so it does not move while it's attached to the weapon. If you did not this is what's causing the problem.

That person may have a defective one. Mine works just great and the pin definitely rolls independently of the handles. I highly recommend it!

Mine didn't and the digital gauge broke right after the return window closed. I would not buy again...

The gauge did NOT work with my 240 - 35 ohm sending unit. When the lever was all the way up (35 ohms) the gauge read 3/4 full. When the lever was all the way down (240 ohms) the gauge read well bellow emply. My sending unit is a Moeller Marine Electric Universal Fuel Tank Sending Unit.

Hi Zitch I just look up the operating instructions on line and it does not indicate that you can calibrate this gauge. I have checked mine against a few manual gauges and it was very accurate. Hope this helps. Dave.

When it worked yes I checked it against a conventional gauge and another digital gauge. The problem was it stopped working after each and I had to replace the batteries then it would work once the replace the batteries. I returned it after one use. Not reliable at all.

No. The electronics are not connected to the tension gauge. It is completely manual but it hasn't been an issue for me.

I had the same issue... My gauge went back to zero after letting it sit in the garage overnight

Sounds like the tension knob or cable that controls it may be broken, when i turn my tension knob to increase tension I feel it even if I only move it from 1 to 2.

The problem with any analog (dial) gauge is it works buy "unwinding" what amounts to a flattened tube wound in a spiral. When air pressure is applied, it unwinds and moves the dial. The problem is that works fine if it never gets banged or shocked. If it does get a hard shock, which for an automotive tool is inevitable, the tube bends somewhat and there goes the accuracy. Digital gauges work with micro machined pressure sensors. The element is so small and light that it's much less prone to being damaged or parametrically changed with a shock. On the flip side, digital has more parts versus analog that need to be designed well for long term reliability.

Its possible you may have stripped the threads , you could take it apart and check , I have about 50 rounds through mine without that issue.

I've got the same gauge. same problem. I keep my batteries charged but the needle stays in the white until I run the cart. Then it goes down into the green. Don't know what that means or what the red means. I looked up the company on the net but couldn't find this guage listed. Amazon should contact this seller and discontinue selling this item. Like you, know instructions were included.

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