Accutire's new, deluxe digital tire gauge delivers precise tire pressure reading every time--and that's important. While manual tire gauges seem flimsy, sometimes stick, and can give inconsistent results, Accutire's digital gauge is a well-made, confidence-inspiring instrument. The Accutire also delivers impressive consistency: in our tests, we got within plus/minus 1/2 psi each time, something that's not likely to happen with a manual gauge. The Accutire's large back-lit LCD screen is easy to read, too, no matter if you're standing in pitch-black dark or in bright daylight. The gauge measures from 5 to 99 psi, in 1/2-pound increments, and automatically shuts itself off after you use it. Built with a rugged aluminum housing, a rubber nose, and tail guards, this gauge also comes with a handy steel side clip, in case you need to carry yours with you wherever you go. And when it's not in use, you can store the Accutire in its felt-lined, snap-shut case, so it won't get beat up rattling around in your glove box. Accutire's digital gauge costs more than a manual gauge, but with its lifetime lithium battery, it's going to last you a long, long time. --Jon Groebner
Amazon.com Product Description
Accutire's new MS-4000B deluxe digital tire gauge delivers a precise tire pressure reading every time--and that's important. Correct tire pressure helps your vehicle travel efficiently, reduces wear on your tires, and keeps your gas mileage optimal. Many manual tire gauges are not durable, often stick, and can give inconsistent results, but Accutire's digital gauge is a well-made, confidence-inspiring instrument that will last for years to come. Solid Design
The MS-4000B has a unique, ergonomic design that allows you to maintain a firm grip while checking your tires. The head is more solidly built than most other tire gauges, and allows for a good seating on the valve stem to reduce the possibility of escaping air and an incorrect measurement. 
Accutire's MS-4000B digital tire gauge is an important piece of equipment for any driver. View larger. | 
This compact gauge stores easily in your glove box. | Easy to Read
The Accutire's large back-lit LCD screen is easy to read, whether you're standing in pitch-black darkness or in bright daylight. It measures from 5 to 99 psi, in 1/2-pound increments, which lends itself to industrial-sized equipment, and automatically shuts itself off after you use it to save on battery usage. Stylish and Ergonomic
Built with a rugged aluminum housing, a rubber nose, and tail guards, this gauge also comes with a handy steel side clip in case you need to take it with you. When it's not in use, you can store the MS-4000B in its felt-lined, snap-shut case, so it won't get beat up rattling around in your glove box. This gauge is a precision tool with great styling. The ergonomic design gives the gauge a quality feel and the aluminum case will protect it in the years ahead. Under-inflated tires may cause the vehicle to work harder and therefore worsen the gas mileage, and moreover damage the tires. The MS-4000B is an easy and accurate way to make sure they are working best for you.
Warranty
The MS-4000B has a limited 5-year warranty.

I bought this product after a long time of using its other model (LCD display). I was happy with the other one, but hey, what if I have to read my tire pressure in the night with no light? So, this is the BEST solution to this, RED Backlit so you can read it in the night or when it's pretty dark!!It also comes with a very elegant case, looks like glasses case! Remember, measure your tire pressure with cold tires, if you have just parked your car after a trip over 20 minutes, the tires will be filled with hot air, so the pressure will be more than normal (maybe 1-4 pounds, depends).
Very nice high-tech-ish gadget October 12, 2006

Although a lot of other people commenting this tire gauge of being not accurate or not display the pressure stably. It's acutally not the tire gauge's fault but all because those people don't know how to correct operate the gauge. They are supposed to use the gauge to seal the stem for at least 1 sec for a stable reading. Power is auto on when there is air pressure present on the gauge and auto off when displaying the reading for 5 secs. It has very classic look and premium build and finished. It's definitely a bang for the bucks. ($9.00 buck is only 3 cups of Starbucks, right?)

I bought this for a Christmas present but just had to try it when it arrived. It is very light-weight, easy to use and looks great. Even the case it comes in is high quality. I am now haveing second thoughts about giving it as a present. I want to keep it for myself!
Very practical and precise November 14, 2006

I bought this item back in May of 2001 for the two cars in my house. The tire gauge still works very well, and shows its readings in 0.5 psi increments. As advertised, the large digits are easy to read even in direct sunlight (I just verified that last week!). It works fine even as I'm nearing the fifth year of owning this handy item. It even looks brand-new because the case keeps it safe from scratches, dents, and dings that you are bound to get while it is stowed in the glovebox.
One thing that should be noted: people complained that it's hard to get a good seal to get a consistent and accurate reading. I bet it's because the tire's air nozzle was up or off to the side; I find that it's best when the nozzle is around the 6 or 7 o'clock position so that I can firmly press the gauge straight down. This means you have to crane your head a bit to read the digial measurement, but the important thing is to be able to press down straight & hard onto the tire's nozzle.
I've been using this gauge to check the tires more frequently since the season is changing, and also because I am on the road for longer periods of time. If not for anything, checking the air pressure makes me take a good and up-close look at the tires, and make sure that everything seems okay. At every check-up, this tire gauge was easy to use. I'd definitely buy this again, perhaps as a gift to someone who drives a lot, or as a replacement for myself if needed.
