Dial type vs. Pen type tire gauge

[kotiko]

Just a reminder guys, whenever you have a tire vulcanized always drop by a nearby gas station to check the tire pressure afterwards.

Every time I have a tire vulcanized whether at a reputable shop or the ones by the street, they always end up overinflating the tire even if they "ask" you what tire pressure you want after they do the initial fill up to re-check the puncture/s. Whenever I drop by a gas station tire guage afterwards, I always find the tires overinflated, usually around 40psi.

Anyway, I use a dial type. Buy the ones made of metal, the ones made of plastic that's worth less than P100 gets busted easily. I still do have one that's plastic. There's 1-2psi difference vs. the digital ones in gas stations but at least you get an idea if you're getting underinflated.

Una ko nabili made of plastic. Binalik ko sa Handyman at niReplace ng made of metal. Ang hirap gamitin nung plastic type. Lagi sumisingaw ang hangin, while yung metal type, isang salpak lang kuha na agad ang tire pressure.

Ask ko lang, kung sakaling galing ka sa byahe then dropped ka sa gas station para mag-inflate ng tire then set mo halimbawa is 32 psi. Sa cold tire kaya eh 32 psi pa rin ang reading o less than?

hafner has authorized a taiwanese firm to manufacture their precision instruments in part or in whole?
i'm asking because i know not the answer.

oops... i quick-googled, and it appears hafner tire gauges are a taiwanese product and do not appear to be related to any german or european...

I'm using "Auto Gauge" brand. I don't know yet if it's 100% accurate. Measured 35 psi on a gas station I'm only visiting. While 33 psi on my tire gauge. It's good enough.



You can buy this in Ace Hardware or Blade - 500 pesos.

i have something in plastic. probably pareho ang innards, but with no expensive metal clothes outside.
less than 150 bucks. mas madali pang i-calibrate. at mas magaang.

dial type o pen type kung hindi sturdy or durable ang pag kaka gawa eh useless din lalo n pag di pa calibrated... mas maganda digital kase self calibrating...

meron ako daiken plastic less than P150....to buy ko pa lang yung milton pistol type na icoconnect ko sa compressor.

so far ok naman yung daiken kelangan ko lang magadd ng 3 psi sa bawat reading. kaso ang calibration ko neto e si mamang vulcanizing sa may kanto. malay natin kung mali din gauge nya.
