So I don't often post about tools here, and I am the cheapest guy on the planet, but these little stick type air pressure readers kind of impressed me.

Two gauges, each with its own plastic case, each case has 8 extra valve caps in them, valve caps have sealing rings in the top to minimize small loses from valve leaks.

Comes with a hand written calibration/testing sheet included, even a decent looking box the two cases came in. Steel body, not heavyweight, but not plastic

I was expecting junk thrown in a bag like you often get from Amazon.IMG_20230319_232847651_HDR.jpg
Price? $6 free delivery (ok, not really free, because I pay for Prime, but close enough)

Thanks for the info. I picked them up also just for spares.


Mee too, thanks!

Geez, you had to go and say something. Now they are up to $8 /2, $10 /3.

I could have used those ball needles 10 years ago, went thru a lot of those while coaching

Your Calibration Certificate looks suspiciously (exactly) like the one I received with my order today! I thought they were supposed to be for each individual tool, as with torque wrenches? But then for as inexpensive as these are, it doesn’t surprise me! Still…?

Mine is different. But ... can't say they couldn't have a stock of several different certs that are randomly dropped into any given gauge set to make each set appear unique. It is a stretch to think each $2 gauge is individually tested and given a hand written cert. Still, I'm happy with what I received,

100% agree, but still feel the certificate is a bit of a scam now. Would feel better about their company and product had they not even offered a certificate. Seems a bit cheesy now. As you, still happy with my purchase.

Precision machined--they all test out the same, and the guy that tests has very consistent handwriting...or we have all been snookered.

Didn't really expect hand testing with such a cheap item either, still pretty nice packaging and presentation for a tool that costs as much as a jumbo candy bar in a convenience store.

FYI the numbers are a bit different on the calibration sheet I received but here are my red flags:

1. I received one calibration sheet for two separate units. No way both of my units tested out the exact same.

2. The ink is not handwritten. It's laser printed. There are no starting and stopping points with the ink. However they were smart enough to print a few different ones. Additionally I did the "smear" test and the ink smeared as one uniformed smudge (if that makes sense) versus varying depths and intensity of smears (see image below and "Date of Calibration" field).

Lastly - no way Li has this consistent of handwriting, especially if they apparently calibrated and recorded an extensive amount of units on February 6, 2023.

And just a quick note, I don't see how you can really define x.2 versus x.3 (20.3 vs 25.3) on any stick type pressure gauge with any real certainty. MAYBE on the 0-50, but certainly not on the 80 or 120. ¢¢
