Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this pencil tire gauge compared to digital models?
The Milton S-920 delivers professional-grade accuracy within 2 PSI increments from 10-70 PSI, matching or exceeding most digital tire pressure gauges. Its mechanical design eliminates battery dependency and electronic failures, while the 4-sided nylon indicator bar provides clear readings that remain reliable for years of regular use.
Can this gauge work on both car and truck tires?
Yes, the 10-70 PSI range covers standard passenger cars (typically 30-35 PSI), light trucks (35-45 PSI), motorcycles, and even higher-pressure applications like small aircraft tires. The single ball chuck connects securely to all standard tire valves, making it versatile enough for personal vehicles and commercial equipment.
How does the built-in tread depth gauge work?
The integrated tread depth gauge measures tire wear in precise 1/16 inch increments by inserting the measurement probe into your tire tread grooves. This helps you determine if tires meet the 2/32 inch minimum legal tread depth requirement and assess when replacement is needed for optimal traction and safety.
Will this gauge work in cold weather conditions?
Absolutely. Unlike digital tire pressure gauges that can malfunction in freezing temperatures, this mechanical brass gauge operates reliably in all weather conditions from -40°F to 150°F. The lack of batteries or electronic components means consistent performance during winter driving when accurate pressure readings are most critical.
How does this compare to other Milton tire pressure gauges?
The S-920 features Milton's signature machined brass construction rather than stamped metal parts used by competitors. The 4-sided nylon indicator bar provides clearer readings than single-sided alternatives, while the integrated tread depth gauge eliminates the need for a separate tool, offering superior value and convenience for complete tire maintenance.
