The Performance Tire pressure Gauge. In both performance and appearance, this is the finest tire gauge made. Attractive dial face has contemporary black-on-white numerals. Bezel, stem and pressure release valve assembly are polished brass. Complimentary case color varies with pressure range. Needle holds pressure reading until released, and will not damage your car tires. Pushbutton release valve bleeds air to desired pressure.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Great until you drop it Comment: I dropped the unit when checking a tire's pressure (~6 inches off the ground) and the unit immediately stopped working. Dropping any precision instrument can't be good for it, but the fall wasn't all that high or hard and I thought it should have been able to handle it. It's an inexpensive unit and it seemed to work fine before the fall, so I'll most likely purchase another to replace it and be a little more careful next time. Customer Rating: Summary: Good gauge at a good price point Comment: Gauge works great , very easy to read the exact pressure as it holds the pressure reading until you release it. The bleeder is good but doesnt release air very fast at all ( approx 1/10th of a pound per second ) ,which was weird having never used one with a push button bleeder. Thought it would be faster but it will help get pressure exactly on the dot. Would buy again. Only slight cons are it should have a protective boot included and the brassy outside looks too gold like and doesn't look like it will maitain its look for a long time. I personally don't care about that much but worth noting.
BTW I got the $40 moroso gauge - this one was within a pound and so was my $1 Victor dial gauge for the local auto store lol. Customer Rating: Summary: Dissapointed Comment: A tire pressure gauge only has to do one thing well. That is to accurately measure the air pressure inside the tire. My Accugage was reading 5 PSI high when tested alongside a calibrated pressure transducer. That's why I give it only one star. Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic Gauge Comment: I had been looking for a new gauge, and really had my eyes on an analog dial type. I found one surprisingly hard to find at local stores, so I was thrilled to find this one on Amazon, and at a really decent price.
This Accu-gage model is simply great. Solid construction and finish. It's the perfect size. Perhaps the best feature is the release valve function, which holds the acquired pressure reading from your tyre, until you press the little thumb button to release the air pressure from the gauge.
Can't say any more about it other than 'works and looks great.'

Epilogue: Upon living with this gauge for a while, I have found one flaw. It turns out that the needle is not adequately fasten to the axle, and on more than one occasion, when jostled or dropped, the needle has come off, requiring me to remove the bezel and reattach it.
