    Intercomp 360060 Tire pressure gauge

    360060
    A well made but expensive dial gauge with very good performance. A large glow in the dark display is easy to read but this gauge requires two hands to operate. Pressure capacity makes it limited to most passenger car tires. Also features a manual bleeder button, and swivel chuck for added convenience.

    <p>Stick-type pressure gauges resemble a ballpoint pen are simple and compact, and don't need batteries. Pressure is read off of a sliding scale proportional to the air pressure.</p><p>Digital gauges have an electronic LCD readout, like a pocket calculator's. That makes them easier to read than the scale on a stick-type gauge. Some digital readouts light up. That's handy for checking pressure in low-light conditions.</p><p>Dial gauges, the other main type, have an analog dial like a clock face. Most are easy to read but those with an extension hose take two hands to operate. Some come with an extension hose, and they are often more feature-laden than pocket-sized gauges with a bleeder valve and dual-scale dial.</p>

    Accuracy

    Accuracy

    Accuracy is based on a comparison of each model against a known calibrated master gauge at various pressures, and at cold, room, and hot temperatures. Cold and hot temperatures simulated storing the gauge in a car in winter and summer temperatures.

    Ease of use

    Ease of use

    Ease of use is primarily an assessment of pressure readability and how easy is it to take a pressure reading on an inflated tire.

    Durability

    Durability

    Each model was checked for accuracy after a drop test of approximately 30-inches from a table to judge durability.
