Slime 2007-A 5-50 PSI Tractor/Water Pencil Gauge Review
The gauge seems accurate, but the product description does not reveal that the plunger that gives the reading does not remain exposed when the gauge is removed from the valve stem. Hence, unless you can read the gauge during the actual measurement, it is useless.Get more detail about Slime 2007-A 5-50 PSI Tractor/Water Pencil Gauge.

Michigan Industrial Tools Air Tire Inflator with Gauge - 120 PSI Top Quality
This product is designed so poorly that it is virtually useless except for an estimate of tire pressure. The slide is a triangle shaped three sided gauge. Two sides are marked in something other than PSI. The one scale which is in PSI is so small that it is almost impossible to read the marks between the "tens" (10, 20, 30 etc.). If you want any kind of accuracy, this is almost impossible. I would suggest that anybody looking for a home tire pressure gauge to hook up to their air compressor, bypass this product. It may have some commercial use, but definitely of no value for home use. Get more detail about Michigan Industrial Tools Air Tire Inflator with Gauge - 120 PSI.

Milton 501 Inflator Gauge This instant
I bought this to deal with tires on a large trailer - dual wheel, tandem axles. The dual chuck grips the valve stem and doesn't require me to hold the inflater chuck once attached. The pressure can then be increased or decreased from the handle. The five foot hose allows you to have your face away from the tires as you adjust their pressure. That makes me more comfortable. The unit is solidly built. Get more detail about Milton 501 Inflator Gauge.

Campbell Hausfeld AU110000AV 99 PSI Key Chain Digital Tire Gauge Best Quality
After reading the two negative reviews, I'll pass on getting a second one of these. My first, I picked up while traveling as our rental car had the low tire pressure warning light on. So far, mine has worked perfectly through a couple years of traveling. My only complaint is the small, unlit numbers that are a little hard to see.Get more detail about Campbell Hausfeld AU110000AV 99 PSI Key Chain Digital Tire Gauge.

Security Chain Company QG2821 Quik Grip V-Bar Type LRS Light Truck Traction Chain - Set of 2 Buy Now
I live in Washington state and always been concerned about traction needs in the winter months. Many people like the "cable" type of tire chains since they are "springy" and it makes installing them easier (versus actual "chains" like these that don't stay straight across the tire, are much heavier, etc). However, I was with some others when we ended up sliding off the road. We instantly intalled some of those "cable" type chains for trying to get back on the road, but the cable that goes in a circle broke instantly at one of the joints (where a cable going across the tire joined it). So that instantly made me lose all faith in those styles making me want something that'll hold up in any situation.
These have a small bar welded to each chain link that contacts the road to help give better traction and/or longer life making them more expensive than many others. I did have a set of these where a link broke right where there was one of those welds, so the weld may have weakened it. I've not had that happen again, but haven't used them that many times every year either. The big thing when installing any kind of tire chains is to remember that you want them to be tight and virtually part of the tire while on the road. Don't just drape them over the tire, connect the hooks to the end link of the chains and start driving because they may flop off the tire easily, start whipping your fenders or even catch on things like a brake line ripping the car apart. You want to work all the slack you can out of the chains and end up with the same number of loose links on both sides of the tire. If you end up with 1 or 2 links on each side that can flop around, that's not a big deal, but 3 or more can again damage the car. To contain them, hold the hook, place the end link that can flop around on it, then place the hook in the link that makes it tight and the end one will be trapped. Many OEMs recomend driving a few blocks on them, then checking them again for slack. Besides doing these things, having the "chain tighteners" (that are a huge rubber band) or some short bungee cords to constantly be pulling them tight to the tire helps as well (with those taking out any slack you missed).
With these installed correctly, they will be as good as any others & last as long or longer.Get more detail about Security Chain Company QG2821 Quik Grip V-Bar Type LRS Light Truck Traction Chain - Set of 2.
