JACO ElitePro Tire Pressure Gauge - 60 PSI

The tire gauge arrived early, on Saturday, and Wisconsin smiled on us Sunday with a relative heat wave of 45 degrees (instead of a more seasonal 10*), so I did indeed give the new gauge a try. My method is to purposefully overinflate a cold tire by a few pounds, and then bleed off pressure till I arrive at the recommended PSI for my tire and vehicle. I checked all four tires on our new Chevy Impala, and the gauge worked perfectly.This is far and away the nicest tire gauge that I have owned, and among the best that I have used personally. I found the white on black dial extremely easy to read in the indirect lighting of our garage.In putting the instrument away, I finally noticed the luminous dial—nice touch! This handy feature is understated on Amazon. A quick blast from one of our crazy-bright flashlights and the dial will glow long enough to see to all four tires in the dark—well done! I like the little things, those little extra touches; that little bit extra that’s worth all the rest! So go ahead, surprise me!The build quality and fitment of all components seems first-rate, so I’m hoping this new JACO ElitePro Tire Pressure Gauge will prove robust enough to last me a lifetime. Should that prove untrue, I’ll update this review accordingly.To their credit, the OEM/Vendor promptly contacted me by email to see that I was completely satisfied with my purchase. Their communiqué contained an invitation from the company’s founder to contact him personally with any questions or problems, as well as a PDF attachment to further explain the product. There’s even a video link to help any newbie to use and better understand the product. Impressive.The only thing missing is a decent-quality carrying case, as none was provided. Still, to meet this retail price-point, I can understand why a case was not included. I ended up reinforcing the box with shipping tape, and stored the gauge in its original packaging; this will prove adequate for as often as I’ll use the thing. I added the gauge to my emergency road kit, which is Velcro’d into place inside the Impala’s cavernous trunk.To summarize, based on what I know, and at this retail price point, I’m giving this tire gauge a full five stars, and yes, I would recommend it!RayB

This gauge has been reliable and accurate. It’s sturdy yet flexible enough to maneuver into tight places that other gauges could not (motorcycle tires). The materials are high quality. I appreciate the rubberized cloak on the gauge as it is dropped too often. Easy to use! I liked it so much I bought another so I keep one in the car and one for the bike.

Nice gauge, easy to read dial and rugged construction.

It's almost perfect. It's very accurate and the air release works great. My only complaint is the it's a little hard to get it to seat properly on the valve stem. Other then that it works

Update: 08/05/2022:Messaged the sender via Amazon about it stopping to work, sent a photo, and in two days, a new one was delivered to me. Nathan of Jaco had responded immediately and sent me another one. How's that for customer service. Back to 5 stars.Update: 8/3/2022Bought this on 4/3/2021, today, at 8/3/2022, when I went to check my tires, the first tire read really high. Turned out the gauge is stuck at 9 PSI as starting point (instead of zero). I could not get it to reset back to zero in spite of repeatedly pressing the release. I just contacted the mfg/seller via Amazon, and will see what they do and report on it. Lowering it by one star accordingly.>>>Kept this after doing side-by-side comparison with another brand, touted as BlahBlah USA, that tries to hide that it was Made in China, by stating it was designed and engineered in USA and assembled in China. This is Made in China and stated so. It's not where it is made that matters but the quality of the product.This is graded up to 60 PSI and within my working range, making the increments easier to read on the 2 inch dial. The press on chuck is better than the other one, loses less air and easier to hold tight, but if it was screw-on, it would be so much better. My Viair portable compressor is screw-on and doesn't lose much air when screwing on/off.If it had a bag like the other brand, it would be perfect. Hope this is a lifetime product. Seems quality made, and the lifetime warranty is assuring--but any lifetime warranty is only good if the company stays in business.The other brand was good too, almost identical, but they misrepresented that it had a braided cord and all brass, when the cord was metal and shorter than depicted. The two varied by one (1) PSI across 4 tires. The Jaco was easier to press on and lost less air, as mentioned--that was the ultimate decision point.Now that I have this gauge, plus a Viair 85P portable compressor and a 180 Watt 15 Amp AC/DC converter with cigarette lighter receptacle, I can now check & pump my tires off of AC without running the engine.My car's cigarette lighter 12 volt outlet is limited to 10 Amp, so I need to connect my 15 Amp Viair compressor via battery clamps (I have a Viair 88P for that) or said AC adapter.This gauge completes my tire check/pump set up. I was using two 30 year-old pencil gauges for years. Then I got a digital press-on but did not trust its accuracy--plus it was difficult to press on without losing air. Now I will use this Jaco as the standard of measure.

The media could not be loaded. I've owned my JACO ElitePro since 2020. I consider JACO to be a high end brand. This tool is very durable and has always shown me a true and accurate reading. The gauge is spot-on when it comes to showing you the actual tire pressure. I've never had an instance where it's been off by any amount. It's fast to show you a reading, and will work day or night, thanks to the bright luminescent glow of the needle. Thankfully the JACO is covered by a tough rubber material around the housing, and I don't have any concerns that it'll get banged up or broken - but I still take really good care of it. Every time I've needed it, it's been there for me... It works no matter if it's the middle of summer and burning hot outside, or if it's -5 F and freezing cold outside. I've filled my own tires, co-workers tires, stranded motorists' tires... It works well day or night... When I need a gauge to trust, I reach for my JACO.
