I have carried the earlier (non-digital) version of this Jaco gauge in my motorcycle for well over a year and love it. I needed a 2nd separate gauge for my home garage and was very excited to see that Jaco has a digital option. The gauge arrived late last night so I have been putting it to the test.
First let me start by saying this thing is built like it belongs in a commercial garage. The Gauges Main Cover is some sort of solid ABS plastic wrapped with a robust rubber textured protector that will surely keep it out of harm’s way. The fittings and pressure relief valve are all solid brass, chuck itself is very thick metal and there are no air leaks. The hose is about a foot long and plenty long enough to get in under the fenders to check the pressure on the motorcycle. I tested the accuracy vs my Non-digital Jaco gauge and one from another manufacture. Both of the Jaco gauges readings were identical every time. However, the readings from the brand was over or under pressure depending on what I was testing.
The features of the Jaco that I like the best include:
1) The digital Gauge uses two AAA batteries. Most other digital gauges use "watch type" batteries which are hard to find when you are out on the road and they don't do well during cold Chicago Winters.
2) The Digital Display is BIG and Blue. It easy to read, even out in the bright sunshine.
3) The Digital Display has a battery meter so you know when it’s time to change the batteries out.
4) The whole gauge is really heavy duty but the swivels are smooth and easy to manipulate. I typically loose a bit of air every time I apply the chuck to the valve stem but the design of the Jaco chuck makes it squared up and airtight as soon as you push it on.
I honestly can't find anything negative to report regarding the actual gauge, over all I am very impressed.
My only wish is for a couple of accessories to be included or at least available as an option:
Wish 1) An accessory hook attachment to hang the gauge from the compressor or tool box.
(I made my own from a coat hanger but would be nice if it were integrated)
Wish 2) An optional carry case would be a great option. I religiously check my tire pressure on motorcycle trips
and would love to have a form fitted case to store the gauge safely in the saddlebags.
(Jaco if you take this tip remember to leave empty space in the case for battery storage.)
Really happy with the entire purchase, granted there are cheaper options but the quality and accuracy is definitely worth the step up. If you’re in need of a quality accurate tire pressure gauge you can’t go wrong with the JACO ElitePro Digital Tire Pressure Gauge.
