They needed the high pressure gauge and the dual head for the double side by side tires. So far, they are happy with it and have no complaints. Bought this for my parents' 40 foot motorhome. A standard gauge would not work for either of these needs.
Long metal tube lets you quickly check pressure without fiddling with the hose like other gauges. Gauge works great. Some reviewers complain about the smell, but it smells just like bicycle inner-tube rubber and isn't that bad - if people can't stand it then they should just put it in a Ziploc bag.
I think the rubber is not cured properly, and some chemical compound is oozing out slowly, and will continue to ooze out. Now I need to find another high pressure gauge. The bleed valve is crude and also leaks. The spring is junk and doesn't pop back properly.
Out of the package it stinks. Avoid this unit.(1)Same problem as others. Oily film inside. Not good.(2)Same problem as others. Oily film remains. There's too much clearance between the piston and sleeve and it binds when you push on it. Leaks.
Smelled like dead fish. This was sold by an afiliated vendor, but fufilled by Amazon. Washed it like someone else suggested. Strong odor.
Left it overnight in the garage. Not as strong, but still stinks. Stinky boot aside.Gauge does have a heavy duty hose and chuck. I'm glad, because returns are painless with Amazon.
I bought a high pressure gauge because my compact spare runs at 60 psi, and I don't want to risk damaging my regular gauges (60 psi max reading). Removed boot. However, the gauge seats on the valve stem inconsistently and leaks.
I put it back in the box and returned to Amazon. I guess it's just hit or miss if you get a good one. Right out of the package the pressure release was broken, and when I tried to use the gauge it never moved from zero. I was kind of disappointed because the overall quality of the guage doesn't seem bad.
I opened it up and went out to try it. As noted earlier it does have a smell of rubber, but then it does have a rubber hose. The air gauge was delivered in 3 days. It is very simple to use and, from all I can tell, it is very accurate.
