Always be prepared. Whether you’re heading off on a road trip or riding your bike to the beach, having safe and secure tires is a top priority. And one of the best ways to make sure your wheels are in tip-top shape is with a tire gauge like this one from AstroAI; it’s on sale for $8—40 percent off.
A snap to use
The AstroAI Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is not your everyday gauge, thanks to its big LCD display and large print readout with no need for calibration. It’s a speedy little guy that can give you an accurate reading up to 150 PSI (pound per square inch). In fact, it can read in four different units of pressure, including PSI, Bar, KPA and kgf/cm2.
Just mount the gauge on a tire’s valve for an instant reading. That’s it.
“The tire pressure gauge is incredibly easy to use and seems to provide a very accurate reading without the need to get the nozzle exactly in line with the stem,” wrote a five-star Amazon shopper. “The gauge gets the pressure very quickly and the results are easy to read.”
Compact and versatile
This digital tire gauge is super-small, so it can slip inside a glove compartment, trunk or even a backpack. It has automatic shutoff to save you some battery life for longer use. And its built-in light nozzle and backlit LCD display means it does the job in the dark, too. This is a necessity if you’re ever stranded on the road at night.
“This is great to keep in your glove box so you can quickly and easily find out which tire is low and how much it needs,” added a satisfied reviewer. “Most free air pumps don't include the PSI reader. This reads the PSI easily on a blue back-lit screen so you can always see it. The little flashlight feature is nice for at night too.”
Bottom line
At 40 percent off, this AstroAI Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is a quick and easy way to make sure your tires are in working order. After all, if your tires are dead, your next road trip will come to an end even before it even begins.
“It’s just the perfect size, and is very accurate,” shared a five-star Amazon reviewer. “I was recently riding with a couple friends and one of them had a tire that was very low and needed to be checked. He took out his rather big gauge and I took out my perfectly sized gauge and he said, ‘That little toy isn't gonna work.’ His gauge wouldn't stay on so I let him use mine and then he said, ‘Well I guess yours does work.’ Now he wants one.”
