JACO ElitePro Tire Pressure Gauge - 100 PSI

My RV tires are rated at 65 PSI for the fronts and 80 PSI for the rear duals, and I was looking for a gauge in the 100 PSI range to accommodate this pressure rating. Many of the gauges I looked at were either 60 PSI or 160 PSI, and was happy to find this gauge rated for 100PSI from JACO. Many of the 160 PSI gauges were of good quality, but the larger range of reading meant it either read in 2 lb increments, or was just plain hard to read. That is where this JACO gauge shines - readings are very easy to see in the entire range, and the readings are in 1lb increments. But the real positive about this gauge is the quality of the build - when you first look at it and hold it in your hand, you realize you are paying a few extra dollars for additional build quality that is worth every penny. I am very pleased with both the operation of this gauge and the quality of materials used. Even better is how this JACO gauge performs - the tip is easy to use, and easy to lock straight on and tight to the valve stem. Then, the reading is fast and precise, and more importantly repeatable - I can remove and retest the pressure multiple times, and it consistently comes up with the exact same reading! Plus, the pressure release button is solid and firm, no slop in the mechanism, and the release of air is instantaneous. Nice job JACO, you are providing a great gauge for those of us who are tired of using mediocre gauges that don't last! Highly recommended! Thanks for reading. One final note - what really sets this gauge apart is the customer service - test this out for yourself by sending an email to the company. Whether you have a question, issue or concern, you will get a fast, honest and prompt response. This is a company I am happy and confident to deal with, the customer support is awesome.

Excellent. Accurate when compared with one of my other guages. Connects easily in tight spaces.

This has been my go to gauge for years. I prefer the old fashioned gauge with an arrow to check my tires because I worked as a mechanic many years ago. I bought this in 2021 and noticed recently the arrow was stuck at 8 lbs which would obviously throw off the pressure measurement inside the tire. Contacted the company through Amazon and after going back and forth a few times, sent a picture and they are shipping a new one at no charge. Can’t say enough about that and I don’t make reviews based on companies reputations and don’t make supported merchandise recommendations either. I would highly recommend this gauge for your tire tools. Very accurate gauge and not expensive.

This is a review of the JACO ElitePro Tire Pressure Gauge -100 PSI. The review is limited by the fact that I only tested a single gauge- the one that I received. I have no connection to JACO and paid the normal price for the gauge when it was on sale. There are many pressure gauge reviews and comparisons on the web and here on Amazon. The web comparisons invariably boil down to differences in features, but never measurements of accuracy. But isn’t accuracy the most important attribute of a pressure gauge? I read comments such as “it’s not accurate.” Well, how do you know? Some will claim that “it’s very accurate.” Again, how do you know? Did you measure it with a master gauge? Some claim that it matches their current gauge and therefore must be accurate. There is some slight reasoning in this, but not a lot. Some claim it matches the reading they got at the tire center. What gauge does the tire center use? Some centers use cheap pencil gauges. Do they calibrate their gauges with a $5000 master gauge? When was the last time that they had their gauge calibrated. Who did the calibration? How many times has it been dropped since then? Consistency and repeatability are admirable qualities in a gauge, but they are not the same as accuracy. A gauge may consistently read the same wrong pressure over and over again. The resolutions or divisions on the dial face or the fact that a digital gauge reads to 0.1 psi has nothing to do with the accuracy. If they painted the dial face with 100 divisions between each pound, would that make it more accurate? Of course not! (Generally, however, the dial face is marked at half the resolution of the gauge, so a gauge accurate to 1 psi would get dial marking at every 1/2 psi.) ASME certification is fantastic, but only if it’s clear what grade or calibration the gauge attained. You can read more about ASME grades at “ASME Pressure Gauge Accuracy Grades at Instrumart”. Some state that digital gauges are usually more accurate than dial gauges. Surprisingly, this one is true! You can learn more about this at both “Analog vs Digital Pressure Gauges at Ralston Instruments” and at “Why digital at cecomp”. Now let’s discuss the JACO ElitePro. Generally I would choose a 0-60 PSI gauge for greater accuracy, but I purchased this one to supplement my Longacre 52-53008 which is my primary gauge. I needed something which reads beyond 60 psi to measure my donut spare tire. A gauge is most accurate in the middle, so choose one whose middle falls into the pressures that you expect to read. I don’t own a master gauge either, so I used my Longacre as the reference. The JACO is claimed to be accurate within 1.5% in it’s middle range ( that’s +/- 1.1 psi at 75 psi, +/- 3/4 psi at 50 psi, and +/- 0.4 psi at 25 psi) One article said to use a gauge with 4 times the accuracy of the gauge you are calibrating or testing. The Longacre fits the bill nicely at a claimed accuracy of 0.2 psi. It’s new. I’ve never dropped it and it comes in a foam lined protective case. It matches my 4 TPMS readings +/- 1 pound, though the most accurate TPMS monitors are said to be accurate within +/- 2 lbs. My first experience with the JACO was not good. User error perhaps. Since then I formally measured it against my reference. Reference pressures on the left. JACO ElitePro on the right. Reference_____ ElitePro 55 psi________ 55 1/2 psi 40 psi________ 40 psi 38 psi________ 40 psi 36 psi________ 37 psi 34 psi________ 35 psi 32 psi________ 33 psi 30 psi________ 31 1/2 psi 28 psi________ 29 1/2 psi 26 psi________ 27 psi 24 psi________ 24 1/2 psi The ElitePro differed at most only 2 pounds from the reference, so I think that it is reasonably good and measured fairly close to its rating for an inexpensive 0-100 gauge, though a 0-60 psi gauge with the same 1.5% accuracy would be more accurate. I doubt that any other analog gauge at this same price range would have significantly greater accuracy unless you just happened to get the cream of the crop off of the production line. Gauges lose accuracy over time and things that accelerate this process (especially for analog gauges) include shock, vibration, temperature fluctuations/extremes, exceeding the recommended pressure limit, dust, corrosion, etc. Store it indoors if possible.

The Gauges are working great. I needed a higher PSI Gauge, I have tires that need 80 PSI and all I could find were 65 PSI. Gauges are good Quality, very easy to use. I am happy with Value. Had fast delivery, arrived in perfect Condition.

This is by far the best tire gauge I have owned. It is incredibly accurate, and the fact that the head, and the hose swivel, make it very user-friendly. I keep it in my glove box of my truck.

Very rugged design. Matches pressure sensor readings I get from the dashboard as well, so accuracy looks to be verified.

Seems to be accurate. No problems yet.

Bought as backup for small digital gauge, I never trust a single device when it comes to tyre pressures. The JACO ElitePro is solidly made and feels like a quality product. The "telltale" indicator is very handy in use too.

Excellent pressure guage , quick , easy to read gauge and accurate. I do summer / winter tire & wheel swaps on five xars twice a year and this is worth the $$ .

Enfin une jauge precise !

El articulo es de muy buena calidad y precision.
