Tools and Hardware Reviews of Accutire MS-46B Digital Key Chain Tire Gauge
Customer Review: Good For A Basic Tire Gauge. Expect "L" For Bad Battery - Some Point.
Summary: 3 Stars
I did have this gauge for probably nearly 2 years before I got the dreaded "L" on it's display. This means it is probably a low, dead or malfunctioning lithium battery. Then you'll need to send it in for a "free" warranty repair. That is, if you can find Accutire's correct warranty address. The back of the gauge's packing had an address I had mailed it to and it was returned to me. i.e. 80 Little Falls Rd., Fairfield, NJ is an INCORRECT address OR at least my package was returned to me anyway. Check it out carefully. Heck... At what they sell for, it'd probably just be better to toss it and buy a new one for all the troubles & hassles.Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
I received one of these as a gift. I carry it on my key chain which I attach to my mountain bike when riding. We used this one day when my son had a flat miles from home. I didn't have any trouble getting it to seal agains the valve stem as others have complained. It was easy to use, and from what I understand it actually is piezoelectric so doesn't have a battery contrary to what the Amazon commentary says (I haven't taken it apart so I'm not sure about this). I checked it against my $40 tire pressure gauge on my compressor and it matched exactly for accuracy. For the price how can you go wrong!Customer Review: Usefulll 'lil thang
Summary: 3 Stars
I like having a tire gauge and I like having one that fits on a key chain but it is small and delicate for getting a good reading quickly. The end must be matched up flush to avoid air escaping and I am left wondering if an "O" ring or other gasket is missing from the unit... other traditional gauges I've used suffer similar problems... hard to read at night or with even modest vision impairments.Customer Review: Digital Tire Gauge
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little tool. Very accurate, and durable. It works even when the temp is below zero. If you have a long valve stem, you will need two hands (one to hold the stem, and one for the gage), but I need two hands for my other gages also, so no big deal. I have other digital gages, but this one is the best.Customer Review: Defective

Notice that Amazon says this is a discontinued item? Mine was non-operational out of the box. The error code displayed on the unit indicates the "lifetime" lithium power cell is depleted. Looks like it's been sitting around in a warehouse for quite some time and they are now getting unloaded on Amazon. Beware.
