RACEX RX0014 Tyre Pressure Gauge, Chrome Mirror Finish, Large

First of all and most importantly these are verifiably accurate with regards to consistency of manufacturing, therefor the claims of the accuracy made by the manufacturer can be relied on to be true, at least for me. This is how I have arrived at this opinion.My neighbour bought one of these, through me on Amazon about a year ago. I recently bought a car and so decided to get one myself, based on the reviews and my neighbour's view of the one he bought.My tyre pressures are supposed to be 2.4 bar so when I got my RaceX I checked them and found that they were a lot lower than that. So I decided to ask my neighbour if I could borrow his to check if mine was accurate or if the pressures in my tyres were really low. I did the check and both mine and his read absolutely identical pressures on all four tyres. Therefor the pressure gauges are all calibrated equally and so I am and can be confident now that this model is accurate.It is so simple to use. Press release to make sure it is zeroed. Push ont to valve of the tyre. Read the pressure. Release the pressure to do next tyre.It is solidly built, has some weight to it, comes in a nice clear-fronted clamshel case and is worth every penny.

As I do several track days and some performance driving, checking your tyre pressures is imperative for the handling of your car.Some analog and digital compressors feature built in pressure indicator or dials, however I find these not very accurate and usually hit or miss.I needed something that was clear and precise.My local forum recommended the Race X RX0014 tyre pressure gauge, a simple pressure dial which quickly presses against the tyre valve for an instant reading.Simple to use and feels great in the hand.Well made and seems like it is built to last.The dial is very accurate and easy to read.Upon using it, the device is very consistent with its readings and much more accurate when compared to the digital indicators found on compressors.A quick tap onto the tyre valve gives an instant reading.Be aware that there is a rubber seal bung within the valve attachment on the Race C RX00014.This can sometimes come away or fall out, so check its always there before tidying away the device in its case.Highly recommended if you need accurate tyre pressure measurements.Great price and fast delivery as always from Amazon.Note: Always measure your tyre pressures when the tyre is cold

I wanted a new mechanical tyre pressure gauge as I don't like battery powered ones as they seem to have run out of power just when you need to use them. I bought a slightly cheaper 'Race X style' one a few years ago online that was probably made in China . TBH, I just thought that it was a Race X but had gone through a slight redesign - the case it came in was exactly the same. It did work ok - decent accuracy and seemed quite well made but after a few years the die cast alloy valve core in the head snapped off. This time I made sure I bought a proper Race X branded one. Made in Taiwan the quality seems much better. The dial is very clear and the pressure release mechanism is nice to use. I can only compare accuracy with the new digital gauge that came with my wife's new Skoda Octavia - for example that read 30psi, the Race X 30.5psi. Lesson learned - make sure you buy a real Race X - not a replica.

Fits on car valve good,pressure seems accurate,quality is good.

I bought this in December of 2016 and have used it once every fortnight to check my tyre pressures.Although this model was slightly more expensive than digital tools that do roughly the same job, I opted for this because:a) It was mechanical and therefore wouldn't require any charging or battery replacements.b) There were some very positive reviews for it both on Amazon and elsewhere.c) I was drawn by the appearance.The readings given by the gauge seem highly consistent and, over time, helped to reveal a slow leak in one of my tyres which I may not otherwise have noticed.The item is reassuringly weighty and has a large clear dial that is easy to read; it is worth noting, however, that it lacks any luminous features so although the white dial makes it readable in low light, you would need a torch if you intended to use it in the dark. The gauge comes in a very solid and form fitting case that I feel would protect it if I were to drop it, and in any case protects the glass dial from scratches while it's knocking about in the boot of my car.A few of my neighbours have made positive comments and have subsequently called on me when they had concerns about their tyre pressures, so clearly this item has made an impression.I hope that this has been helpful. If my experience with this item changes at any point in the future, I will return to amend this review.

I have owned this for five years. It has "just worked" every time, and I've used it many hundreds of times. I have compared it against known good workshop equipment, and it has always been in agreement. The build is excellent, without even factoring in the price. You could not hope to find a better gauge.
