Very Quick
"* Very high quality pressure gauge!"
"* Well made and the hose helps in tight spaces."
"However, then I discovered that the released valve stem button on the gauge could be wiggled sideways (unlike on my last gauge)."
"It was a few dollars cheaper than the Rhino, but was not accurate and failed immediately while checking tire pressure on the first car: a small piece of the brass stem folded over when I attached it to the valve stem, then broke off."
"On filling my tires, I'll over inflate my tire by a few psi, then watching the gauge, I'll tap the release button until I get to my desired PSI."

Quick
"A press of the stem either did nothing, or resulted in a very short "puff" of air, or a very brief stronger release of air (but which immediately stopped, even with the button remaining fully pressed)... However, then I discovered that the released valve stem button on the gauge could be wiggled sideways (unlike on my last gauge)... The long rubber hose on my older gauge was more pliable, making it easier to use in tight spots, and it hadn't seemed to degrade or develop any leaks in the several years I'd been using it."
"The tire gauge I selected locally was of heavy duty brass construction with a large round dial, but lacked a flexible tube which allows you to vary the viewing angle. It was a few dollars cheaper than the Rhino, but was not accurate and failed immediately while checking tire pressure on the first car: a small piece of the brass stem folded over when I attached it to the valve stem, then broke off... The Rhino tire gauge has a larger, more readable dial that glows in the dark so it can be used at night."
"The dial is really easy to read and also has a nice rubber guard around it to protect the gauge head... Not only does it reset the gauge, but also releases the the air a little at a time. On filling my tires, I'll over inflate my tire by a few psi, then watching the gauge, I'll tap the release button until I get to my desired PSI."

"A press of the stem either did nothing, or resulted in a very short "puff" of air, or a very brief stronger release of air (but which immediately stopped, even with the button remaining fully pressed). It was easier to release air to lower tire pressure by lightening hand pressure on the hose tip over the tire stem. However, then I discovered that the released valve stem button on the gauge could be wiggled sideways (unlike on my last gauge)... Too bad this didn't happen when the button was pushed to try and release air... The long rubber hose on my older gauge was more pliable, making it easier to use in tight spots, and it hadn't seemed to degrade or develop any leaks in the several years I'd been using it. This cloth braided cover may help protect the rubber hose, but it doesn't help make it easy to curve or adjust the hose in tight spots. I really wanted to buy an American-made product, but I'm unwilling to sacrifice quality and user ease-of-use."
"* I purchased the Rhino after going to three local parts stores and buying the best tire gauge I could find from one of them. The tire gauge I selected locally was of heavy duty brass construction with a large round dial, but lacked a flexible tube which allows you to vary the viewing angle. It was a few dollars cheaper than the Rhino, but was not accurate and failed immediately while checking tire pressure on the first car: a small piece of the brass stem folded over when I attached it to the valve stem, then broke off... The Rhino tire gauge has a larger, more readable dial that glows in the dark so it can be used at night. The flexible stem allows you to vary the angle of attachment, which is important if you have deep dish rims or shorter valve stems. I have 3 cars, a truck, 4 tractors, and a BCS walking tractor and I used this gauge to check the pressure on all. I cross checked the readings with the gauges of two air compressors to see how accurate the Rhino was."
"* If you're looking for a great tire pressure gauge, look no further... It swivels and with the hose lead to the the dial work great for getting to hard to reach or awkward places. The dial is really easy to read and also has a nice rubber guard around it to protect the gauge head... Not only does it reset the gauge, but also releases the the air a little at a time. On filling my tires, I'll over inflate my tire by a few psi, then watching the gauge, I'll tap the release button until I get to my desired PSI. then when done, hold the release button to full zero for storage... Did I mention that the head unit glows in the dark?"
