Product Description
The Accutire MS-4021R digital tire pressure gauge features a large, easy to read LCD display that offers pressure readings from 5-150 PSI in 0.5-pound increments. It is ergonomically designed with an angled head and a rubber coated easy-grip handle. The heavy-duty construction will simply withstand shifting over in your glove compartment or tool kit. If you forget to turn the gauge off, don’t worry, it is equipped with an automatic shut off system.
Why Correct Tire Pressure Really Matters
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), under-inflated tires are the major cause of tire failure, which accounts with respect to 660 mortalities and 33,000 personal injuries every year.
With several drivers planning road trips, Accutire wants to remind travelers to stick to a three-point checklist that will help preserve optimal safety on the road and help the environment by improving fuel efficiency.

This gauge is a little treasure. The design makes it easy to hold and use, and the illuminated red LED readout, which keeps the pressure reading for around 5 seconds after you take it away from the tire valve stem, makes it very easy to see the pressure reading you get.
Pressing it on the tire stem is effortless, and there is literally no air loss when you press it in place, and remove it.
I prefer to inflate my tires about one pound too high, and then use the pressure gauge, pressed from the valve stem needle, to release the extra air until additional measurement with the gauge yield the right pressure. There is no little nib for releasing air built onto this gauge, but edge of the black plastic nipple that surrounds the valve stem works just great for this purpose.
This gauge is so much greater than the mechanical style gauge that I can see why the leading consumer magazine offered it a top rating.
Most helpful critical review
I bought this item several years ago on Amazon in part because of the reviews. In discover that it offers a accurate reading when it isn’t giving an error code. I find that mine often needs to be used over and over to get it to read. Sometimes its very frustrating when a 10 second read ends up taking five minutes because it does not read presenting an LL flashing symbol over and over until you finally push it on exactly the way the device likes. Very picky gadget (or at least the one I got is).
