    Victor 00876-8 Tire pressure gauge

    00876-8
    An easy to use stick gauge that performed well in our tests. Capacity is limited to many passenger car tires and it can be tedious to read the small graduations on the stick.

    <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.
