AccuGage Tire Pressure Dial Gauge (160psi, Schrader Valve) Review


I can't believe that a tire gauge that looks so well built can be so inaccurate. A tire that has 40psi (checked with two other gauges) reads as 30psi on this gauge. My portable air tank has a built-in gauge. This gauge reads more than 25psi less than the built-in one shows.

Really disappointed, and will be asking Amazon for a refund or exchange. I would recommend a different brand.Get more detail about AccuGage Tire Pressure Dial Gauge (160psi, Schrader Valve).

Porsche Color Logo ABS Chrome Tire Stem Valve Caps Top Quality


According to the other reviewer, these valve covers are made of plastic. That solves a problem for me and I'll buy them. Recent Porsches have TPMS, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Steel valve caps interfere with transmissions from the pressure sensor in the wheel, so the owner's manual warns explicitly against their use. Plastic caps will do just fine.

I may come back and change my review to a five or a three after I use them for a while, but being made of plastic is not a deficiency, it's the only kind we can use on our cars.Get more detail about Porsche Color Logo ABS Chrome Tire Stem Valve Caps.

Slime 2021-A Tire Gauge for RVs and SUVs (10-150 PSI) This instant


I can use this on everything I operate for work or pleasure, from my truck to my Jeep to my bike. It seems to be within a pound of my other tire gauge, so I have to assume they're both accurate.

I agree with R. Mesta above. Get this gauge, get a different one, hey, get a cheap one to bring your order up for Super Saver Shipping, just get a gauge and keep an eye on your tire pressure.Get more detail about Slime 2021-A Tire Gauge for RVs and SUVs (10-150 PSI).

Q Industries MF1089 MasterFlow Twin Air Compressor Best Quality


Bought Viair 300 this Dec/09 and 2 weeks later a superflow MF 1089 for my son. I decided to compare the inflation pressure attained by each compressor at a run time of 90 seconds for each. Using my spare tire 245-45-18 deflated down to zero PSI.
My results: Viair 300 attained 32.5 PSI at 90 seconds.
MF-1089 attaine 35.5 PSI at 90 seconds.
Durability and reliability are different issues and only time and usage will tell. To me, they both look well made. Viair is a single compressor and MF-1089 is double.
Viair weighs about 8 Lbs & MF about 18 Lbs. Viair has standard quick connectors while MF.s is not. It.s their own but it's well made. MF 1089 has more versatilities with their tire chuck connectors and is priced less than Viair.
My personal preference: MF 1089.Get more detail about Q Industries MF1089 MasterFlow Twin Air Compressor.

Plasticolor 000509R01 11" Dodge Ram Logo Easy Fit Mud Guard - Set of 2 Order Now


I purchased this product for a 1500 Ram and it fits perfect. It was easy to install and looks great on a black truck. The mud guards don't hang down too far where they will drag if pulling something heavy but are long enough to protect whatever is being pulled from the stuff that flies off of over sized tires. They are't made out of cheap material. It is a heavy rubber that has been holding up without any signs of wear and tear. They aren't too wide where they stick out the side of the truck and look funny either. I have had them on my truck for about 4 months and so far, I am very happy with the product.Get more detail about Plasticolor 000509R01 11" Dodge Ram Logo Easy Fit Mud Guard - Set of 2.

Gorilla Automotive 71683N "The System" Acorn Wheel Locks (1/2" Thread Size) - For 5 Lug Wheels Decide Now


I love the Gorilla Lugs! These lug nuts use a special socket that fits around the lug nut not just the face of it. Much superior than the old style locking lug nuts. You can order a spare socket if you lose yours or in case you lose yours. I have several cars with these lug nuts nad have never had any problems with them.

Lowest Price Reese Towpower 7000100 Wheel Chock - Set of 2


I've probably used these wheel chocks 15 to 20 times over the past 3 or 4 months for use with my 2004 Toyota Tacoma (~ 3800#s) with a 16' runabout motorboat/outboard (~800#s). These are a bit flimsy, they are hollow (no additional brace within the chock center as I've seen in other brands) and they're plastic (which doesn't have the traction of rubber chocks). My truck has been recently crushing these chocks and sliding a bit at the boat ramp. These are decent wheel chocks for very light duty, but this item is not good for boat ramp use.

Discount Longacre Digital Tire Air Pressure Gauge


I had a similar tire gauge as a gift from Brookstone that I loved. This air gauge has done a great job in replacing that unit. The Brookstone hose was more pliable but the Longacer is longer. Also, the feature that sets the Longacre apart from other gauges is "real-time" pressure refresh a second or two after bleeding the air - other units require a reset or reseat to achieve pressure update. Calibrated in .5 increments, a must if you rely on proper air pressure for your application.Get more detail about Longacre Digital Tire Air Pressure Gauge.

Cheap Milton S445 4 In 1 Valve Tool


Who ever thought I'd need a vavle stem tool in Iraq?? Well I did and this transaction was excellent. The valve stem tool arrived to me here in Iraq at my APO address in a reasonable amount of time and the price was reasonable. I'd have no problem with future purchases from the vendor again.
