So I ordered 2, on their way they come. Just wanted to point these out to you all.

I have a portable 12v Viair. Happy with with the size and capabilities, but the gauge goes all wacko when pumping air...have to take it off and use separate gauge. Do these pressure gauges give accurate reading WHILE airing up? If so, I'll be ordering one.
Fisherman, don't go getting all excited about this talk of taking things off and pumping and size and capabilities...we're talking about tires and air compressors.
(you know I could've made this additional comment in a separate thread to add to my post totals...)

You are talking like going from 18 PSI to 32 PSI?
Mine are coming ground and might take up to a week. I’ll let you know.
(post a trip report with many sections...up your count)

Also check out G.H. Messer, we've been using these things for years at the race track, Messer makes high quality, very accurate, and fair priced units, and their made in the U.S.(more important than ever) they're in both my trucksAt Death Valley I was telling Camelracer about a tire gauge that you clip on, read the scale and add air or remove air once the chuck is added. I have used these at a friends shop and I like them. They are a lot faster to adjust pressure. They are not digital but I can read scale and tell time on a analog clock .

So depends how high the source is you will have to pull off the filler chuck and read the tire pressure. But at least it will be easier. The deflation button will let air out.
Does this help?

Look at their web page they have the same gauge....

Patrick, the main thing I've noticed is I have to turn the compressor on and off when airing-up to get an accurate read. Maybe I'm wanting something that isn't possible, just wish I didn't have to especially when I'm airing up a back tire and have the air hose stretched out and have to move between the compressor and back to the tire.
