JACO Superior Products ElitePro Digital Tire Pressure Gauge - Professional Accuracy - 200 PSI

Have owned JACO tire pressure gauges as a powersports mechanic since the Y2Ks; had a manual dial JACO Elite prior to pulling the trigger on this one. Its performance per Todd at Project Farm inspired the purchase most, but given JACO's past performances w/ products bought w/ my own money... wasn't much of a leap to go digital.Feel the most value in a big 'bulky' dial gauge like this one, is the ability to bleed pressure off at the press of a button, until reaching desired target psi. It's why in Neolithic times I bought manual dial pressure gauges over sticks and early digital ones -- if you overfill w/ a stick or old digital, you have to half-open the valve w/ the chuck end or a little nub if provided, then take another reading (reset the stick ruler then read, w/ a stick gauge).A dial gauge w/ a relief valve, you hold the chuck on the valve, then read and bleed at the same time with the other hand -- even easier if your gauge connects to 190psi shop line pressure, going the other way. Also, esp on cars... not all digital tire pressure gauge chuck tips fit easily into the ever-shrinking well for ever-shortening valve stems on modern cars, whereas a slim chuck on the end of a hose is far more versatile than many of the hoseless one-piece digital gauges out there, esp at different angles. When you're a flat-rate tech, avoiding little time leeches like this count.Todd to me is the most trustworthy source of tool product reviews on YT -- and the accuracy and consistency in different environments of this JACO ElitePro in the lineup of competitors, was impressive. Five stars, easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️UPDATE 21 JAN 25:A couple weeks late... but updating for how JACO resolved a minor QC issue (missing chuck o-ring) with the unit I'd purchased (registered for JACO's warranty online shortly after rcvg).Got in touch w/ JACO CS reps thru email. Very quick response within a business day... and within the week a replacement part were in my hand, at no cost as covered under warranty. Verdict: JACO wants your business, and knows there are pros out there as myself who need their products in good kit and can't wait for arbitration 🙄 This o-ring could easily have fallen out during the build process and slipped thru the cracks -- they're still made by human beings, it happens.But also, would like to stress this is the first JACO product (of dozens) I've bought for pro wrenching in the past 20y, with ANY QC issues -- that's a pretty good track record, by any standard. Their pressure gauges have features many competitors don't offer (dual rotating seals on both sides of the hose betw. chuck and gauge body; added reliability features like higher-quality seals and internal measurement components / electronics -- not the bare-minimum as the median PRC-designed/made stuff), so they're having to QC more complex products and still meet warranty threshold -- not easy.Many former made-in-USA companies have decided to increase profit by gradually (or not) skimping on quality / reliability... then siphoning said profit to corporate parachutes -- and not honour the integrity of the people who started these household-name companies, mostly postwar Greatest Generation. JACO's not that old, but I've owned plenty of precision and tool products from these older, formerly-rock-solid companies... and find huge compromises more often than not. To JACO's credit, its principals decided not to be one of these shipped-offshore chiseler boardrooms, who hope you don't notice drop in quality and CS if it's slow enough, like a frog in a pot of water.That takes making some hard decisions I'm sure, in a world of profiteers who think using clever marketing when you're ignorant -- and lawyers when you're not -- keep a company relevant. So I'll keep buying JACO's products, need to reward companies who still operate with dignity and integrity. As long as they do / make what's claimed on the tin -- in my book for ~$30? There isn't an alternative for us blue-collar techs who keep customer machines on the road for a living, full-stop 👍

I've tried a number of other tire gauges and found this one to be very accurate. I've tried this on two separate cars and what I bleed the tire air out to is exactly what I see on the car tire reading in the car display. Tire pressure is important for me because it affects range in EVs (as well as gas cars). I've tried the pencil tire gauges and those were off by around 2 lbs. This one is pretty accurate to the exact pressure. This was the most important element in choosing a tire gauge for me. Be aware that tire pressure can also be impacted by whether the car is on a slant and there's more pressure on one side of the car than the other.The other great feature is the button to bleed the air out. Once you press it and release it, it reads the updated pressure. No need to reset it to get the updated pressure. This was another important feature in deciding to buy this product.Display is easy to read, good build quality, and swiveling head. Was easy enough to reach the the tire which is recessed a little.It comes with the batteries and there's a plastic tab that prevents the battery from the connector. I remove that before using the gauge and then put it back since I don't check my tire pressures that frequently.

I bought this as a result of the testing on Project Farm on YouTube that found it to be very accurate. It seems to be well built and rugged for shop use. It is easy to read and use. I kind of overlooked the fact that it was digital because I usually get things that don't need batteries. Not that I don't love buying batteries like everyone else but, the fact that if you don't use a battery powered device often enough to actually drain the batteries, you end up with battery acid ruining your device. So, what I did with this was to check my other manual/analog gauges against it and then removed the batteries and put is away. Not a waste of money because I now have gauges I trust and use as needed. BTW Project Farm is a must for those buying tools and equipment. Excellent unsponsored testing and reviews on a lot of items.

I bought this for autocross to keep track of my air pressure. This product was spot on from the digital gauge to air valve release. I had a friend buy one too. We took both the gauges and compared them to 5 other gauges at the same event. These gauges hit the mark and provided me accurate information through the day. I might surprise a new member with one.

I've only had it for a month as of 4/2025. So far, it seems pretty accurate and repeatable measurements. I was already considering purchasing it, but was convinced based on Project Farm's (YouTube).PROS:+Accuracy and repeatability+Chuck goes on tire stem easily and doesn't leak+Good build quality+Well lit displayCONS:-Very poor packaging. Comes inside small cardboard box with no shrink-wrap or tape over box, so the hose spilled out of the box. If not for being inside Amazon bag, it would have been damaged or had contents of the package completely spilled out. For the cost of the gauge, one would expect better packaging.- Comes with inferior Zinc Chlorine batteries instead of Alkaline. While either battery chemistry can corrode inside a device if not used for a while, Alkaline has more energy and is less likely to corrode. For the cost of the gauge, you'd expect the better alkaline batteries.
