Slime 2020-A Dually RV Dial Tire Gauge 10-160 PSI

  • Chrome dial gauge with black rubber housing. Measures 10 to 160 PSI
  • Includes dual foot chuck and 8" hose for easy reach on all tires
  • Bleeder valve prevents time consuming multiple measurements
  • Proper air pressure improves gas performance and reduces tire wear
  • Great for 4x4s and SUVs

This Slime 2020-A Dually RV Gauge (10-160 PSI) is very handy. It is easy to get a solid fit on the valve stem, and the release next to the gauge is very handy too; after you take a reading, the gauge needle remains at that reading until you push the release, which to me is sometimes easier than having to read the gauge while it is connected to the valve stem. Also, the release will allow air out of an over-inflated tire, making it easy to bring the pressure down to the desired point. Immediately upon removing the gauge from the package there was a very strong, quite unpleasant chemical odor that persisted for maybe a week or so, but that is completely gone now. I would buy this gauge again, and would give it as a simple but very useful gift. Bottom line: I really like this gauge.

Today I thought my gauge was broken. It wouldn't hold pressure, and the bleeder valve appeared to be leaking air. The problem was the hose connection to the gauge. The hose had unscrewed from its connection to the gauge, and that is where the air was leaking. I tightened it up and the gauge works perfectly again.

The bleed button on this gauge is quite useful. I can slowly released air from the tires by holding down the bleed button while the tire pressure is being measured. I find it easier to overinflate the tire just slightly, by a pound or so, and release the excess using the bleed valve to obtain the wanted pressure. The dial on the gauge also retains the tire pressure reading after measuring, the hose is ~5" long and quite flexible to fit in some hard to reach spots.
