Look up "Monkey Grip". I think another company might have bought them out, but should be the same one. Very accurate ! Works like a charm !

Man with one tire pressure gauge knows what his tire pressure is.
Man with two gauges not sure.

Default Gauge(s)

Gathered 6 or 7 gauges I had laying around including 2 different HD gauges, a couple of old 4wd units from years gone by, two from a couple different tire shops collected over the years, and one that is less than 3" long that I got as a 'throwaway' from a meeting at a hotel ballroom.
You may have seen the ones that were common when gas was over $5/gal and some idiots were pontificating to just keep tire pressures up and save all that fuel.... and these little 'gimmez' were floating around everywhere you looked...

Tried 'em all on both tires; 4 of them were within +/-1# of each other (and the service test baseline); one was off a couple of #s; and one of the 'tire shop' units was off +3#s (low).

The little cheap 'throwaway' was right in the middle of the 4 that were all but dead even.
Go figger...
