Milton (S-921) Single Chuck Head Pencil Tire Pressure Gauge - Passenger Car

  • MILTON: Pencil Gauges made with machined parts, unlike our competition! Made in the USA.
  • INCLUDES: Built-in deflator valve, single chuck head, and white nylon indicator bar.
  • PRESSURE RANGE: Measures PSI (5-50) in 1-lb. increments and Kilopascal (40-350) in 10-kPa increments.
  • IDEAL: For passenger car applications. Handy in cold temperature weather conditions.
  • CAR SAFETY/MAINTENANCE: Ideal automotive and road trip accessory tool to maintain optimal tire care and prevention.

Yes, they con't cost much. However, I have recently gone through the replacement of 3 vehicles in my garage and bought three Miltons. I tried each against the others and they agreed exactly. FWIW, the values on the hand held matched the TPM values of the cars I used them on. I would buy again. Do be sure to order a gauge for the tire pressure ranges that you will encounter.

I have been through six tire gauges in less than 18 months. One was digital and never accurate, four(old analog pen style) came apart under less than 30 pounds of pressure, 2 of those never functioned once. The sixth was supposed to be a professional quality tool, with a long flex hose and heavy gauge- never accurate, almost 10 pounds off. In fact, an old foot pump I use for the bikes was more accurate. Surely, my local auto parts store would have something of good quality- or not. Failure at four different chain stores. Auto Zone had a selection of three, I tried one- blew apart into 3 pieces on first use. This is the real deal; heavy, US made,fairly accurate, and simply works. You can buy a cheaper version of this for four times less at Wally World and everywhere else & if you do- go ahead and smack yourself, then buy this one.

This is certainly not the cheapest tire gauge you could buy, but it should be the only one you by. This thing will last you a lifetime, it feels good in hand, its accurate, and made in the USA. Perfect!

I had the same stick type tire pressure gauge for around 28 years. About a year ago, I went to use it and it broke apart. I went ahead and bought a replacement which was a Slime brand gauge that was manufactured in China. I generally try to avoid made in China when I can but I needed the gauge and it was all the store carried and I wasn't going to drive around town for a 4 dollar gauge. That Slime gauge seemed amazingly inferior to the one I had for all those years. It was made with lightweight materials and gave inconsistent reads when I rechecked the same tire. I figured they were all like that now and was basically satisfied for 4 dollars. A year later, the gauge broke leaving me in need another. Instead of stopping at a nearby store and grabbing one, I checked Amazon and found this made in America gauge. I have received the gauge and used it and I am thrilled. It is a tank compared to the Slime gauge. It is sold metal construction and seems just like the one I had for 28 years. Readings are also consistent and it was only a dollar or two more than buying a crappy plastic gauge. I generally like to wait at least 6 months before leaving a review to be sure the product I've reviewing doesn't fail but I am extremely confident based on the quality of this gauge that it will be another 20 or 30 years before this one will need replacing.

This is probably the best tire gauge I own. It's the only one that gives readings that actually match an accurate, reference gauge. It can be used from any angle. Using it to check pressure, release pressure, check again, etc. is extremely quick and easy. If I had all the money in the world, I'd still buy this as my primary gauge.

I purchased this gauge because it had high marks, made in USA, doesn't need batteries, and the cost is very reasonable. I'm very glad I did. There is a little collar around the air inlet, almost like a well, the helps to helps to align the unit so it sits flat against the tire valve. It makes it much easier to get a pressure reading. I have an old gauge where there is no such collar around the air inlet. It sometimes took some fumbling, and loss of air, before I got it to seat properly on the valve to get a good pressure reading. Goodby old gauge. Everybody should have this gauge. There is really no good reason not to.

Pros- It's a Milton! There's no annoying spring to suck the gauge back in before you read the pressure! (Whoever thought that was a good idea should be publicly flogged) No Battery needed! Cons- No Light Not accurate to 2 decimal places You actually have to push the gauge back in when you're done Just kidding on the cons. For 6 bucks you can throw it in your glove box and it will work until someone swipes it

I worked in the auto parts industry for many years, and we sold this gauge in our stores. Unbeatable in quality, accuracy and value. You won't find a better guage for the money.

Needed a tire gauge so I thought I'd get a nice one. Bought a Snap-On Blue-Point PGP 50 and was shocked at how cheaply it was made but the price wasn't cheap! Come to find out it was made in Taiwan! I was able to buy a Milton S921 Dial Tire Gauge and the Milton S976 Dual Head Chuck Service Gauge for less money than I paid for the one Snap-On gauge. The Milton S921 build quality far exceeded the Snap-On gauge and just holding them in your hand for a weight comparison the Milton S921 is much heavier and about a 1/2" longer. The Milton S976 is a Heavy Duty Industrial Strength shop worthy service gauge.

Very accurate, at 1 pound steps, will buy another, one for each car. Very well made, plus even better is USA made. Solid, very easy to use, I keep one in the driver side door of each of my cars now. Very accurate, at 1 pound steps, will buy another, one for each car. Bought one, liked so well, bought another. Now I can always check my tire pressures if I even suspect they are a little low. At about $900 a set of tires, I want them to wear flat. So I check pressure weekly, rotate tires every second oil change, so every 7,000 miles, and align once a year.
