Review by stupech

Works as intended
by stupech

Used to accurately check tire pressures. My Silca digital floor pump has to over-inflate slightly, first depicting pump pressure going into tire, then settling down to residual pressure remaining in hose after presta valve closes. So I overinflate by about 3-5 psi, then attach this SKS gauge directly to the tire valve. Gives more accurate pressure actually in the tire. Can then tap the pressure release button on the gauge to set pressure just where I want, and know it is as accurate as possible. It takes a bit of practice to get the feel of holding the gauge in place. You also have to touch the mode button on the gauge to see the pressure changing as you release the excess. But better than my former process of checking tire pressure with a separate gauge after pumping, having to disengage from valve, tap valve to release, or reattach pump to increase, then apply gauge again for final check. Lighted digital display on this is easy to read compared with a dial gauge.

It's German. What would you expect? ,-) Nice to be able to quickly check my pressures without using the pump. More precise this way too as it measures in the tire not the pump cylinder (as pump gauges do).

Works, but sometimes hard to read.

I picked up one of these when I got a fat bike. It gives air pressure in 0.5 psi increments starting at 0 psi which it good to for the low pressure fat tires. I use it every ride. It beeps when it has registered the air pressure which is a nice feature.

I have two primary gripes. One is that in some combinations of lighting and positioning the display is not readable. I may have to rotate the wheel around and adjust my head to see the numbers. Second is I sometimes find I'm in the wrong mode (bar vs. psi). It has a one-button control which is both on-off and mode switch. This plus being hard to see means I do some extra pumping and deflating some days.

Does not last
by JonL

I have auto tire gages, digital and mechanical, that I have used for years. This one worked well but it has quite a high battery demand for something used as it is, i.e. just seconds a day. It started to work intermittently and has become wholly unreliable. Never wet, never dropped, just not that durable. Will look elsewhere for an accurate high pressure gauge, but finding a presta gauge limits the field quite a bit.

Love it except for the fact that it turns itself on in my jersey pocket so keep a spare battery handy!

got 2 of these last Christmas, gave them as gifts, both came back in Feb. I tried both on several Presta and Schrader valves, neither was trustworthy. If you knew approx what the pressure was, you could pick one of the multiple different readings presented by these little hummers. IMHO, the ones I got were worthless.

PSI good, display not so good.

The first few times of use, the Airchecker worked ok. The display was not quite showing all the digits, but a tap on it brought them back to life. After a week, the missing digits would not come back to life, and the readout was undecipherable. I am returning the defective item.

Flimsy, poorly constructed and I am not all that convinced that it is accurate.

Tire gauge for Presta tires.

I bought this gauge to make measuring Presta tire pressure easier. It works well and is accurate. It was reasonably priced. I don't know why it has a little bag but .... I recommend it.

I'm running tubeless tires and lowering air pressures so I wanted a precise air gauge to keep track of the pressures I start the ride with. This SKS airchecker digital is the ticket.

I needed something that worked with my new Mukluk to measure low tire pressures and this fit the bill. The beeper is pretty weak and the reduction button doesn't seem to do anything, but maybe that's a low pressure thing. It's usable.
