Product Description
Slime's Super Magnetic Dial Gauge is handy and easy to use. The dial gauge measures 0 to 60 PSI, and the attached bleeder valve allows the release of air until the ideal pressure is achieved, preventing time-consuming multiple measurements. It is shockproof and has a powerfully magnetized back, allowing it to stick (and survive) just about anywhere -- the shop, inside the tool box, and even above the visor. Slime's Super Magnetic Dial Gauge helps monitor optimal tire inflation, which minimizes tread wear, increases gas mileage and improves handling, saving money on gas and maintenance.

Good deal
What can I say...it is a basic gauge and it works. It feels cheap and is very light, but I guess thats what $3 buys me. Aside from that, its nice as a spare to keep in the car.
OK- beware the plastic
I am just so so on this purchase. The gauge works fine, however as others have stated... I feel if I dropped or stepped on this that it would be history. I expected more and now wish I had bought one from my local Auto store. This is fine for a spare, but not as durable as I had hoped.
A lightweight in the field and OK as a backup gauge
3 stars because the product does exactly what is stated. I was disappointed that it feels so light, cheap and small in my hand. It does have the impression that a drop, stepping on it, etc., would make it history. The dial numbers are small, but readable. However, prior to buying this one, I had bought a much superior Slime, heavy metal gauge at an auto parts store that is more effective than this device, at about the same cost and the valve on that model being both bleeder/last pressure type. The valve on this Slime 2018-A gauge, as stated, is just that, a bleeder valve only. Not both a bleeder and 'maintain the pressure reading' if removed from valve stem.
The connection to the valve stem, in my case, is very snug. So snug that I can push it on and it stays by itself showing the tire pressure - guess that could be a good thing, but I have to put it on in a way that allows me to see the dial to read it. Time will bear out if the shock proof material lasts and the connection area wallows out.
I wouldn't recommend this as your only pressure gauge, but what I can recommend is this makes a great backup, secondary, tertiary, etc. gauge and for anyone with less than perfect eyesight to take a trip to their local auto zone and pickup the metal/larger dial & numbers model that you can take the pressure reading, pull it away from the tire to get to your optimal viewing position and then push the button to reset to zero.
