I have read complaints about guages failing or breaking easily.....any feedback?

I have zero complaints about my Makita MAC5200...gauges or otherwise. I always wear ear protection when using it close by in my shop, as it does generate a bit of noise, which is to be expected. In short, I LOVE it :-)

I've not had any issues with the guages. They seem pretty secure. I've been pleased with it thus far.

The gauges on this compressor are industrial quality. Any gauge which sustains a direct hit by a heavy object will break. I have had no problems and have owned it for 2 years.

This has not been my experience - approximately a total of only 120 hours use.

The unit is still in for repair. The tank pressure gauge didn't work when I first pulled it out of the box. I would be very interested to see if I get an after market replacement gauge when I get it back.

Fortunately for me (I guess) mine failed on the very first use so I returned it for a refund. I would try returning it to Amazon and hope they will refund your money. I think, though, it is beyond their normal refund time.

There's nothing defective about your unit check the second comment for contacts. I own several of these and the internal component isnt lined up correctly. Best of Luck. Stick with it. The reward is worth the trouble.

I've had the unit for several months, and it's worked flawlessly for me from the start. Just make sure you have fresh batteries in it for accurate readings. I'm very happy with mine; if you're having issues, ask for a replacement if you need to use this instrument for it's intended purpose.

I agree, I do not like "made in China" either.I'm not sure where this guage is made( I'd guess China) but it seems reasonably accurate.I tested it against a known good source and it read wihin +or- 2 lbs. accurate.Not bad for a reasonably priced unit. But, I just wanted to check my source only, not to depend on it for a daily user!

No, this hasn't been an issue for me. Maybe you can return it to the company for an exchange? (unless of course you used it to hit something and the manufacturer's warranty is void).

I don't have any problem with mine... It work great for me... One of the best pedal so far...

You are most welcome! Return it and get another one with a manual. It really is a good piece. Does so much. And so inexpensive. Go for it! Not going to hurt Amazon!

I have had mine for several years, and no problems whatsoever. It sounds like yours is defective and you should see about having it exchanged.

This item is not broke more than likely it's a common problem and is not worth keeping. Many have the same complaint and issue and nothing technical support tells you will help. Get a different one there are two I can recommend

Return it, get another. Mine is reliable and haven't had a single issue since the frat day I purchased it. Maybe you got a lemon.

As I work only in HO scale, I would be reluctant to advise you about anything dealing with S guage. I can suggest that you might get in touch with Model Train Stuff as they have answered several teachical questions for me in the past. You can find their contact information on the Internet.

I am using the same cuff I got with my original, which was about 5 years ago, and it's going strong. The gauge breaks before the cuff wears out, and the great thing is ADC repairs them for free as long it's under normal usage.I would recommend being careful with the connector. If you bend them they tend to snap easy. I have replacement connectors for my full set of cuffs. Just a thought.

....not so far. I've had problems with mine and the company ignored my request for support. I went back to using a Lyman 1200 and a sliding scale to double check loads. Hope this helps.

I have had no problems with mine. Accurate as far as I have been able to determine.

I have not experienced any technical failure such as the one described by you. My device is reliable and very solid. Regards
