Piece of junk! Did not work and fell apart in my hands.
Save your money and get a metal gauge that will last.
Seller sending a replacement but still going to buy a $2.00 old fashion metal gauge.
This item is cheaply made and won't last.

Accutire MS-4520B Digital Tire Pressure Gauge with Emergency Hammer, Seatbelt Blade and White LED Flashlight Review

Accutire MS-4520B Digital Tire Pressure Gauge with Emergency Hammer, Seatbelt Blade and White LED Flashlight
Average Reviews:

I've had this item for about a week now. Initial impressions so far is the hammer is sleek and compact, a bit light and doesn't feel as sturdy as you would think a hammer should be. I haven't tried its ability to break a window yet but I hope in a bind it is the pointed tip that is going to make the difference and the weight behind it isn't required. The gauge seems accurate with a good PSI spread. This was purchased for an off-road vehicle so its worked well for full inflation and in the field for airing down and verifying low pressure.
The biggest drawback I've found is the gauge does not have a dedicated back light. The LED provides just enough light to "kind of" make out the numbers on the gauge if you press it at the same time you check the pressure but the indirect light you get is not substantial. So, depending on how dark it is and how good your eyes are, you may need an additional light to read it at night. The flashlight does come in handy in a pinch as I usually keep this in arms reach to make it accessible everyone in the vehicle.

Accutire MS-4751B Digital and Programmable Tire Gauge with LED Flashlight Review

I assume that Amazon will directly be selling this product at some point in the future (1/2008 right now), so I wanted to take the time to review this product.
I purchased this product from Costco for Christmas (well, the wife did for me) ... price was about $15. The model number was MS-4751WC. I can't see a difference betweeen mine and the MS-4751B advertised here.
Correcting some specs that are in the description ... Range is 5-99 PSI, Accuracy is +/- 1% + 0.1 PSI. Resolution is .1 PSI. The unit uses two replaceable batteries (CR2032). The unit is extremely well built ... with a heavy solid feeling that probably comes from its 1/2 pound weight! The unit is 5-1/4" Long by 2-1/2" Wide by 1-1/4" Thick. There is a bright white LED light in the tip of the unit that works well. Strange is that neither the users guide nor the unit itself tells you the model number ... it is only on the cardboard in the blister pack. Perhaps it is under the battery compartment that is held on by a philips screw. The actual display is 1-1/2 in diameter. The unit comes with a nice zippered storage case.
The unit allows you to program in front and rear tire pressures, and then will indicate if your pressure is either high or low. It looks more like a marketing gimmick, but I did program the front tires for one car, and the rear for my other car so I don't forget the inflation pressures that I use.
The unit needs to be held onto the valve stem for 2-3 seconds before the unit beeps to tell you that the pressure is recorded. It stays on the screen for 10 seconds and displays with a nice blue LCD backlight display. Unlike other Accutire gauges, this one makes a great seal between the gauge and the valve stem with absolutely no hissing or loss of air. This was on different types of tire valve stems.
Overall I like the unit, although it's a tad on the large size. It fits my hand well and the outside has a nice rubber cushion to allow you to have a good grip. A definite 5 star rating in my book.

The Accutire Digital and Programmable Tire Gauge with LED Flashlight is a smartly designed tool that feels right in your hand. The rubberized grip and cast metal housing insure many years of service, and the large back-lit display is easy to read without strain. Use this gauge to make checking tire pressure a breeze. Driving with correctly inflated tires is important for several reasons: increased safety, reduced tread wear, improved handling and ride performance, and better fuel economy.

Accutire MS-4350B Programmable Digital Tire Gauge Review

I agree with the other reviewers who said this product needs an o-ring. I found it very difficult to get it to seal on the tire valve stem, but with the o-ring it works perfectly. (Why they don't manufacture it that way I don't know). But by getting an inexpensive o-ring from Ace Hardware you have a product that is outstanding. Another reviewer said the size o-ring he bought was 1/4 x 1/8 x 1/16. However I found this size was too small and didn't fit. I had to get 5/16 x 3/16 x 1/16, and it's a perfect fit. And with tax it cost me a mere .18 cents. An easy modification well worth it.

I bought two of these because they looked good and seemed they would be useful. I thought the LED feature was very clever. They are very cheaply made and one did not work right out of the box. I was extremely disappointed in the overall quality. Just more Chinese junk.
I shop a lot at Amazon. I have been impressed with their service and the way thay stand behind what they sell/list. They chose not to post my negative review of this item at least one time now. I am trying once more. I now question the meaningfulness of the feedback they choose to share.

I wasn't sure if it would actually fit inbetween the spokes to start... they look big! The night sensors don't work... They are on when I ride during the day, which is when I do most of my riding, so I am just using up the batteries. I do like the changing colors though.
