Tire gauge reads in tenths

[Duffyjr]

Since I left one of my cheap digital gauges in a car I sold I needed another one so I purchase this one.

When it came I got out my Longacre to see how accurate it was and noticed it read to a tenth of a pound. What application would require adjusting tire pressure in tenths? And if you were that picky would you trust a $10 gauge?

It is accurate and was never more than 3/10 difference than the Longacre. It is also easier to use than the Accutire MS-4021B as far as getting it on the valve without losing any air. It also has a built in light that may come in handy.

does it actually read to the .1 or the .5 lb?

I picked up one that looks nearly identical from HD last week for $6. It only reads to the nearest 0.5 PSI.

Yes sir. The first tire I checked was 32.03 while the longacre was 32.5.

Amazon reviews looked very good, must be a decent gauge.

My quad calls for 4.4psi. Where do they get these pressures anyway?
