Cheap tyre pressure meters - test and teardown 

If you x-rayed your cat, you would probably find that he is full of metal and plastic components from your teardowns! :-D

10:32 those eyes you drew :D :D

Ooo,finally some car stuff! i want to have a look at those obd2 scanners!

Do not worry about 3 bars, drove with that on Favorit daily.

"It needs calibrating..." "Not by me!!!" 😂😂😂 You and your cat are fantastic!!!

The hand pump came from The Peoples Revolutionary Bureau of Roads and Tires.

Don't know how accurate it was, but we always used Dad's metal pen-type gauge as our reference, to which the cheap plastic one I carried had a couple of pounds correction. It can be such a pain getting them to seat … hiss and miss, you might say. Got a digital auto pump, and after finding that it agreed with the gauge, stopped using the separate gauge and just used the pump. My car gives two pressures, "ECO" which is higher and "Comfort" which is lower, with the rear 3 (PSI) below the front, so I compromise and set them halfway in that range, with the rear 3 lower

Exelent video, and topic. thanks

I have a pressure guage with a small flexible hose attached to it. Take care of 🐈. Hope it doesn't choke itself with the small springs and plastic parts.

Very good EngLishh

Great video :-)

Very well explained 👍 thanks for the detailed review!

Anyone wanting a long lasting heavy-duty version that will last forever... I think they still make some heavy-duty usa-made versions. But i've picked up half a dozen or so over the years through my tool and antique buying adventures. Not specifically looking for them or anyting they just might come in the bottom of a barrel of tools or something I was already buying. I guess most of them are from the sixties seventies and eighties... But they will weigh about 10 to 20 times more than the cheap ones you can find a gas station. And you can just tell they're made of very high quality design and materials. I'm sure you can get a well-made Chinese or Taiwanese made one as well... If you go online to the usual websites and instead of spending under a dollar try to spend around 3 to $5 for more high-quality solid metal construction. Just because something's made-in-america doesn't mean it's better or the only good option. Too many people ripping into Chinese manufacturing these days without realizing the fact that most of the folks are fifteen-year-old kids chained to machines. And even the ones who aren't... It's not like the manufacturer's really have much of a say... It's the American and European importers who demanded the absolute cheapest thing possible. Americans love to pay $0.50 for something that should cost $20 and then gripe about it for being low quality.

Interesting topic. Nover looked into tire pressure gauges. Thanx.

great review

3:50 press the zero button and place the needle to zero

These car tire valves are Schrader-Valves. From the channel-info I see he's from czech republic, which is right next to germany. I always though he was from india xD. In germany the tire pressure meters at gasstations usually have callibration stickers.

Your cat steels the show

I like that warning at start of video!!!😊

Hmm I had the same experience about 2 years ago. My family has plenty of gauges, but there were no 2 equal results... So I bought a pricy meter from Michelin.... By the way if you drive the results will be even more differently, because with driving the pressure of your tire will increase.... This values have to be the idle temperature of tires.... So basicly the meter is bullshit at the gas stations :)

The calibration is surely set in the teeth of the first gauge just nice the Dial to zero and it'll be correct

I have the a few of the metal & chrome ones, They do seem accurate and consistent.

Good video.

I have the little blue bluetooth obd, payed 2 euros, hope you take a look at that! It shows no error codes tho my car has many 😂

Its fairly common around here to never trust the gas station gauge to be correct. Although the ones here are all hand held and get thrown around by other people.

I think i would buy one with the C tube inside, they are nice but expensive. I wonder if you can calibrate your gauges with say a 1 inch wide tube filled with water, the weight of water type thing. The bottom of the tube has a fitting for the gauge, perhaps?, just a silly thought lol. Your cat is loverly :-D

2:20 Not the friction holds the stick, but the air tight!

You should put links in the description so if people want to test it out they can find where you got it.

I have a very high quality MotoMeter made W.Germany. But it will not seal between valve and meter; just hisses air with no movement on the instrument.

Discovered this channel from another video , as it showed up from magnetron mods and , how to modify them and convert them into radars and similar devices. :) Pressure gauges aka manometers are at the same time fun and - boring , depending from point of view. :) The better ones have small gauge in spiral shape and when put on pressure , gauge unveils and shows exact pressure , but , they can't stay in that place , unless they have some sort of vent that keeps pressure inside them for short time. They also have excessive pressure vent , so , if You are measuring something beyond their scale , the vent will activate and release excessive amount of gas / liquid. :) They can't be recalibrated , as if they start to show wrong pressure and don't return to 0 , that means that internal gauge has deformed and , usually , they are thrown away. Changing main part would cost nearly as new one. They also have hole on back for excessive gas / liquid. Their typical usage is in industrial environment. :) That was my basic knowledge on hydraulics and pneumatics from high school , from , I guess 2001 / 2002. :)

thank you, nice cat

Great cat! ;-)

For OBD SCANNER - please plug-in/unplug only with car off. We had some problems removing the OBD scanner while car was running. . .

1:56 Pisston lol

i think i lost the stopper for the spring when it popped out because of pressure, what alternative stopper can i use?

Now you have to do some digital ones...

Found an old pressure gauge, didn't know how to use it. This video is the first that came up and actually super informative. But why do you put the stress on the last word of your sentences all the time? Is that a habit from you native language? Caught me off guard at first but it made the video a lot more sympathetic imo

Given the accuracy and repeat-ability, I think it's unlikely that the good gauge has the same mechanism.

Thank you for making these videos! I love your work! Very entertaining,educational and fun!

Can you post a link to the metal one with the case?

Why is the refill station at the gas station in German?

Good

Moar cat please :D

Ah you are living in Germany! I see you're a man of culture as well. ;)

shouldnt the meters with the gauges show reading of 14 PSI for 1 atm since the meter is not in a vaccum ? this always confuses me...

I usually get the digital ones. Don't cost much more.

4:35 lmfao

compare them with a custom water level pressure scale

What, no electronics? Not even electric...

Tested my cars tyre pressure with a manual & digital gauge, both of which gave 2 different results. 🥺

where can i buy spring stopper?

When it25 onmeasure meter what u mean

Which one is the most accurate?

where are you from man ? nice accent :)

The gas station metre seems like it is from Germany🇩🇪

I Beg Your Pardon.!

Most tire pressure gauges sold in America are made in China.

I use dat 2.70$ version like 10 years already, works fine tho

Find the comments with the animals great. I do not have to measure, because I do not drive a car just a bicycle.

Hermes is his Levi finland father north wind pants measurement job measurer

Can it work for a bike tire?

i am doing what your cat did with the spring.

If the tyre's flat, it needs filling, if the tyre went bang, you put too much in, simples... :P

Hi

2:26 herd your stomach growl, or your cat's.

Does ur mic have any problem cuz i get more volume of ur voice in my left ear than the right one? Any one else have the same problem?

2:25 eat something haha

Berapa harganya

You're the best !

Test cheap usb memory sticks see if the capacity is real

It's Tire..

It's tire not tyre

Hahahah hahaha

In English please

Naucz sie mówić..

maybe the pump is german made, but see those two blue labels "K 120 16" with czech lion. it will be most probably czech, not german, as well as this annoyingly toxicly pronunciating guy.

My ears bleed from your gay voice...
